A: Appropriate HTTP status code for "user confirmation required" Unless there are reasons for keeping the "check for unintended consequences" and "perform the action" in the same endpoint, I would split them into two parts: 1. `GET /api/v1/action-can-charge-the-client/{id}`. This should respond with 200 and the required information so that the client knows that... (more) |

@#36363 Software developers should understand the business requirements and think about a way to implement them. If they are not sure about a particular aspect of the architecture, they can come to Codidact, provide the relevant details and ask about the particular aspect they want to clarify.

Can you please make the question more about Software Development? Currently, it sounds more like a "marketing" or UX at best. (more) |

A: How to mock LazyCache when performing unit testing? LazyCache provides CachingService as a concrete implementation of the IAppCache. When unit testing simply instantiate the tested service using CachingService: ``` var testInstance = new FooService(new CachingService()); ``` (more) |

How to mock LazyCache when performing unit testing? A few of my services rely on LazyCache and they use it by injecting IAppCache. For unit testing, I would like to mock this. I have found MockCachingService, but it does not do any caching (as specified in the comments). What is the way to perform unit testing in this scenario? (more) |

Unfortunately, the application I am developing now is running on servers that are shared by multiple .NET applications and the memory is not that generous (although its price is pretty low when compared to other software development costs). (more) |

A: How to deeply clone an array in Angular / TypeScript? These can be achieved in several ways, but there might be some drawbacks: - through JSON serialization/deserialization: `const cloned = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(array));` The advantage is that it works for any type of object, but there are some drawbacks such as converting some values like...

Using nested paths vs. flat ones for API resources This is based on a code review discussion that I had with a colleague about the way I have designed the resources paths for an ASP.NET Core controller that is currently consumed only internally (by a SPA). The paths were flattened (e.g. GET /api/productreview/{reviewId}) and my colleague argued th... (more) |

@#53919 Indeed, I have also noticed that SO managed to get more and more users, but there are simply not enough folks to answer them. Before Codidact, in order to get answers for most of the questions I had to rely on bounties. Now I have Codidact :)
This is also shown in the answer rate graph fr... (more) |

Can I set a memory limit for the .NET Core garbage collector to collect objects more aggressively? I have an ASP.NET Core 5 web application that provides functionality that involves file upload + rather large processing (memory consumption mainly). After each processing (with success or not) the memory could be reclaimed. I have a stress test the endpoint with large files and checked the w3wp.e... (more) |

Would a userscript that defines a hotkey to hide the element be OK? Somethink like:
```
window.addEventListener("the_key", setupHideElement, false);
function setupHideElement(key) {
// locate and hide element here
}

@#8176 It is similar to that (did not know it exists, but it is a very nice thing). However, I think it is easier to have a default text for a question directly as a question body. I guess this is the main reason why GitHub uses this method: it helps the user not to forget to include important inform... (more) |

A: Tracking what users are searching in a content management system Server-side solution If you can customize the server-side search functionality, you could add some logging information there. The advantages in this case are: - store the data in a useful format and avoid parsing general-purpose logs - you can also store some metadata related to the found resu... (more) |

@#54706 Yes, I would not advertise it now. However, I think it makes sense to tackle this somehow before the numbers run high and include it in future site promotion. Professionals tend to dislike messy questions and an important fraction of newbies posts low-quality posts. Without a separation like ... (more) |
