I’ve been a JavaScript developer for a while now, but with the release of Angular, I’ve been inspired to pick up TypeScript. However, what happens when I want to use one of my hundreds of available external JavaScript libraries in my project? I’m going to share how to use your favorite JavaScript libraries in a TypeScript Angular application. The post Include External JavaScript Libraries In An Angular TypeScript Project appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

I recently gave the Let’s Encrypt client a try and wrote up how that went. One of the follow-up questions that popped up was about HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and whether Let’s Encrypt’s helps with it. Since the question came up several times, I thought it would be worth writing up. What is HSTS? While the SSL certificate is a big boost for security in its own right, there is still a potential hole if you are redirecting HTTP content to HTTPS content.

Previously I demonstrated how to use Oauth in an Ionic Framework 1 Android and iOS mobile application, but with Ionic 2 becoming all the rage, I figured my old guide needed a refresher. Modern applications are always making use of APIs and data from third party services. The problem is, these remote services require a special kind of authentication to happen in order to work with the data they manage.

A popular way to display notifications within a mobile app is through Toast notifications. Previously I demonstrated how to display these notifications using Ionic Framework 1 , but with Ionic 2 being all the rage, I figured it would make sense to demonstrate how to do this again. iOS has no true concept of a Toast notification like Android does, but using the great plugin by Eddy Verbruggen , we can make it possible in iOS.

I’ve always wondered what it took to develop a real-time chat application. Being able to broadcast messages instantly to other people using the same application is a pretty cool concept. Since I’ve been playing around a lot with the Couchbase , Express, Angular , and Node.js (CEAN) stack, I figured it would be pretty awesome to try to make a chat application using those technologies.

If you’re like me, you’re terrible when it comes to design and that includes graphic design. Creating icons throughout an app can be a rough process, not just from a creativity perspective, but also from the perspective of displaying these icons on various screen sizes and resolutions. Web developers have it easy with the incredibly useful Font Awesome glyph icon package.
