Oracle Timestamp

21 December 2022

The TIMESTAMP datatype is an extension on the DATE datatype. In addition to the datetime elements of the DATE datatype, the TIMESTAMP datatype holds fractions of a second to a precision between zero and nine decimal places, the default being six. There are also two variants called TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE. As their names imply, these timestamps also store time zone offset information.

create table table_name (
    column_name number,
    column_name2 timestamp default systimestamp);

Material UI and Emotion

14 December 2022

Material UI uses Emotion as its default styling engine.

Run the following commands to add Material UI to your project:

npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled

Emotion Emotion is a library designed for writing css styles with JavaScript. It provides powerful and predictable style composition in addition to a great developer experience with features such as source maps, labels, and testing utilities. Both string and object styles are supported.

There are two primary methods of using Emotion. The first is framework agnostic and the second is for use with React.

Styled Components

styled is a way to create React components that have styles attached to them. It’s available from @emotion/styled. styled was heavily inspired by styled-components and glamorous.

import styled from '@emotion/styled'

const Button = styled.button`
  padding: 32px;
  background-color: hotpink;
  font-size: 24px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  color: black;
  font-weight: bold;
  &:hover {
    color: white;
  }
`

render(<Button>This my button component.</Button>)

The error occurs when you use a predefined syntax incorrectly.

In a case where a variable reference can’t be found or hasn’t been declared, then a Reference error occurs.

Type Error
An error occurs when a value is used outside the scope of its data type.

RangeError
There is an error when a range of expected values is required

URI Error
When the wrong character(s) are used in a URI function, the error is called.

InternalError
This error occurs internally in the JS engine, especially when it has too much data to handle and the stack grows way over its critical limit.

Evaluation Error
Current JavaScript engines and EcmaScript specifications do not throw this error. However, it is still available for backward compatibility. The error is called when the eval() backward function is used.
