In this blog, we will learn how to use clip-path and also cover inset(), polygon(), circle(), and ellipse() method .

What is CSS Clip-path?

Clip-path is a CSS property that creates a clipping field that sets which part of a component should be shown and which other parts are hidden. The inside of the clipped area is shown, while the outside is hidden.

CSS Property clip-path creates shapes by clipping an element. It clips some regions of an element to create new shapes. The most used method for clip-path is polygon(), circle(), and ellipse().

CSS clip-path() accepted values

These shapes can be created using basic shape functions. The basic shape functions are listed below:-

• inset()
• polygon()
• circle()
• ellipse()

inset()

The inset () function allows you to clip a component from around the coordinate system. The result is a visible rectangle. you can assign values to the margin or padding and border-radius property. but two values are limited in rounded corners. The first value is assigned to the top left corner and the bottom right corner and the second value is assigned to the top right corner and the bottom left corner.

polygon()

To design or clip the rectangular parts of the viewport, we use the polygon () method. Polygon is the most commonly used method in clip-path. We can construct any shape using the polygon method.

Example

circle()

The below image is created by using the clip-path method circle(50% at 50% 50%). In the circle(val1 at var2 var3), val1 is the size of the radius of the circle, and val2 and val3 are the positions of the center. val2 represents the position of the center from the left of the viewport, val2 represents the position of the center from the top of the viewport.

ellipse()

Below image is created using clip-path method ellipse(25% 40% at 50% 50%). An ellipse(val1 val2 at val3 val4) val1 and val2 are the horizontal and vertical distance from the center. val3 and val4 is the position of center.

Nowadays multi-tenant applications are more useful than single-tenant applications. We can use multi-tenant with multiple databases or single databases as per our need. But it's better to use a single DB with a multi-tenant when you have a small application.

In this tutorial, we are going to use multi-tenant with a single database.

We will implement multi-tenant with single DB by using the following package: https://github.com/archtechx/tenancy

Assuming you already have Laravel 8 repo setup. Now please follow the given steps to implement multi-tenancy with a single DB.

Package Installation

Run following commands :

1. composer require stancl/tenancy

2. php artisan tenancy:install

3. php artisan migrate

Add following service provider to config/app.php

App\Providers\TenancyServiceProvider::class

Create Custom Model

Now create modal named MultiTenant into app\Models

MultiTenant.php

 SavingTenant::class,
        'saved'    => TenantSaved::class,
        'creating' => CreatingTenant::class,
        //        'created' => TenantCreated::class,
        'updating' => UpdatingTenant::class,
        'updated'  => TenantUpdated::class,
        'deleting' => DeletingTenant::class,
        'deleted'  => TenantDeleted::class,
    ];
}

Update Tenancy Configuration

As we have added custom model we also need to define that model into config/tenancy.php

Please change tenant_model value to our custom model.

'tenant_model' => \App\Models\MultiTenant::class,

Add Resolver

To use multi tenant with single DB we also need to add our customer resolver, that will be used into Middlewares that we will create ahead.

Create MultiTenantResolver into app\Resolvers

App\Resolvers\MultiTenantResolver.php

find(Auth::user()->tenant_id)) {
            return $tenant;
        }

        throw new TenantCouldNotBeIdentifiedByPathException($id);
    }

    public function getArgsForTenant(Tenant $tenant): array
    {
        return [
            [$tenant->id],
        ];
    }
}

Add Middleware

We will create our custom middleware that will set the current tenant into cache, and that will used by package to fire default query where('tenant_id', "tenant id we have set into middleware")

App\Http\Middleware\MultiTenantMiddleware.php

tenancy = $tenancy;
        $this->resolver = $resolver;
    }

    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $tenant = Auth::user()->tenant_id;

        return $this->initializeTenancy(
            $request, $next, $tenant
        );
    }
}

Also, don't forget to add middleware alias into App\Http\kernel.php

 protected $routeMiddleware = [
        ..............
        'multi_tenant' => MultiTenantMiddleware::class,
];

Now we will apply this multi_tenant middleware to our routes.

Add Trait to tenant-specific models

We have to add BelongsToTenant trait to all of our tenant-specific models.

Say if we want to add tenant_id into the users table then we must have to add BelongsToTenant to the app\Models\User model.

That trait will by default add following query everytime when we will try to fetch records or update records.

Where('tenant_id', 'tenant id will taken from cache')

Add tenant_id to tenant-specific migrations

As we have added the tenant trait, we must have to add tenant_id into tenant-specific migrations as specified below.

public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            ...........................

            $table->string('tenant_id');

            $table->foreign('tenant_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('tenants')
                ->onUpdate('cascade')
                ->onDelete('cascade');

            $table->timestamps();
        });

Update TenancyServiceProvider

Replace the App\Providers\TenactServiceProvider by the following code.

 [],
            Events\TenantCreated::class => [
                JobPipeline::make([
                    Jobs\CreateDatabase::class,
                    Jobs\MigrateDatabase::class,
                    // Jobs\SeedDatabase::class,

                    // Your own jobs to prepare the tenant.
                    // Provision API keys, create S3 buckets, anything you want!

                ])->send(function (Events\TenantCreated $event) {
                    return $event->tenant;
                })->shouldBeQueued(false), // `false` by default, but you probably want to make this `true` for production.
            ],
            Events\SavingTenant::class => [],
            Events\TenantSaved::class => [],
            Events\UpdatingTenant::class => [],
            Events\TenantUpdated::class => [],

                    Jobs\DeleteDatabase::class,
                ])->send(function (Events\TenantDeleted $event) {
                    return $event->tenant;
                })->shouldBeQueued(false), // `false` by default, but you probably want to make this `true` for production.
            ],

            // Domain events
            Events\CreatingDomain::class => [],
            Events\DomainCreated::class => [],
            Events\SavingDomain::class => [],
            Events\DomainSaved::class => [],
            Events\UpdatingDomain::class => [],
            Events\DomainUpdated::class => [],
            Events\DeletingDomain::class => [],
            Events\DomainDeleted::class => [],

            // Database events
            Events\DatabaseCreated::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseMigrated::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseSeeded::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseRolledBack::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseDeleted::class => [],

            // Tenancy events
            Events\InitializingTenancy::class => [],
            Events\TenancyInitialized::class => [
//                Listeners\BootstrapTenancy::class,
            ],

            Events\EndingTenancy::class => [],
            Events\TenancyEnded::class => [
                Listeners\RevertToCentralContext::class,
            ],

            Events\BootstrappingTenancy::class => [],
            Events\TenancyBootstrapped::class => [],
            Events\RevertingToCentralContext::class => [],
            Events\RevertedToCentralContext::class => [],

            // Resource syncing
            Events\SyncedResourceSaved::class => [
                Listeners\UpdateSyncedResource::class,
            ],

            // Fired only when a synced resource is changed in a different DB than the origin DB (to avoid infinite loops)
            Events\SyncedResourceChangedInForeignDatabase::class => [],
        ];
    }

    public function register()
    {
        //
    }

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->bootEvents();
//        $this->mapRoutes();

        $this->makeTenancyMiddlewareHighestPriority();
    }

    protected function bootEvents()
    {
        foreach ($this->events() as $event => $listeners) {
            foreach (array_unique($listeners) as $listener) {
                if ($listener instanceof JobPipeline) {
                    $listener = $listener->toListener();
                }

                Event::listen($event, $listener);
            }
        }
    }

    protected function mapRoutes()
    {
        if (file_exists(base_path('routes/tenant.php'))) {
            Route::namespace(static::$controllerNamespace)
                ->group(base_path('routes/tenant.php'));
        }
    }

    protected function makeTenancyMiddlewareHighestPriority()
    {
        $tenancyMiddleware = [
            // Even higher priority than the initialization middleware
            Middleware\PreventAccessFromCentralDomains::class,

            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByDomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyBySubdomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByDomainOrSubdomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByPath::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByRequestData::class,
        ];

        foreach (array_reverse($tenancyMiddleware) as $middleware) {
            $this->app[\Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class]->prependToMiddlewarePriority($middleware);
        }
    }
}

Create / Fetch Tenant

Now we have to create a tenant and give that tenant_id to related users.

each user contains their specific tenant_id.

Use the following code to create a tenant :

 $tenant1 = \App\Models\MultiTenant::create([
     'name' => 'Tenant 1'
 ]);

 $tenant2 = \App\Models\MultiTenant::create([
     'name' => 'Tenant 2'
  ]);

That will create tenant into tenants table and values will be stored into data column as a son.

$tenant1 = App\Models\MultiTenant::where('data->name', 'Tenant 1')->first();

$tenant2 = App\Models\MultiTenant::where('data->name', 'Tenant 2')->first();

$tenant1User = User::where('id', 'user id here')->update(['tenant_id' => $tenant1->id]);

$tenant2User = User::where('id', 'user id here')->update(['tenant_id' => $tenant2->id]);

Now we have 2 tenants with 2 separate users who contain separate tenant ids.

Add Middleware to Routes

Now do login with User 1 and try to fetch all users from the database, it will return users of logged-in users' tenants only.

As we have the BelongToTenant trait into the User model.

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth', 'multi_tenant']], function () { Route::get('users', function() {

 // only tenant-1 users will be returned because we are setting the logged-in user tenant into the cache from `multi_tenant`middleware.
 $allUsers = User::all();
});

});

You can use the same for other models too.

Hope this helps you.

What we are going to cover

• Introduction
• What is SWOT Analysis?
• Why perform the SWOT Analysis?
• Factors

1. Introduction

What to do to be successful in any business? The obvious answer is Strategic Planning. Strategic Planning should be there. There are numerous tools and techniques for Strategic planning but one simple and effective framework is SWOT Analysis, it's also known as SWOT Metrix.

2. What is SWOT Analysis?

SWOT Analysis is one of the most commonly used tools to assess the internal and external environment of the company.

SWOT Analysis is a part of the company's Strategic Planning Process and Decision Making Process

SWOT Analysis can be done for an entire organization, Individual, particular Project, Product, industry.

SWOT Analysis plays a significant role in Decision making as it introduces opportunities to the company and it is the "Forward-Looking Bridge" to generate Strategic alternatives.

SWOT Analysis is a Two-by-Two grid form, in this diagram, in particular, each quadrant identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and treats.

3. Why SWOT Analysis?

Another question is why SWOT Analysis is significant?

Undoubtedly, the answer is SWOT Analysis allows you to identify

I guess it's enough to understand the SWOT Analysis let's move ahead with the explanation of SWOT Analysis

4. Factors

SWOT Analysis Framework has two dimensions.

• INTERNAL FACTORS
• EXTERNAL FACTORS

1. INTERNAL FACTORS

Internal factors are the strengths and weakness

• Strengths ( Internal Positive Factor)
• It gives the business its competitive advantages. Weakness (Internal Negative Factor)

What is a PWA?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a hybrid of a regular web page and a mobile application. A PWA combines features offered by most modern browsers with the benefits of the mobile experience. They are built using standard web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The functionalities include working offline, push notifications, and device hardware access and enabling creating user experiences similar to native applications.

How to make a PWA

Following Below steps

• Create an app manifest.json file
• Add it to your base HTML template
• Create the service worker
• Serve the service worker on the root of the scope you used in the manifest
• Add a block to your base HTML template file
• Site deploy in your server

Create an App Manifest

• Add the following information in 'manifest.json'

 {
    name: `Name`,
    short_name: `Sort name`,
    start_url: `/`,
    display: `standalone`,
    icon:  `Favicon icon`,
    icons: [
       {
        "src": "icon by size",
        "sizes": "144x144",
        "type": "image/png",
        "purpose": "any"
      },
      {
        "src": "icon by size",
        "sizes": "192x192",
        "type": "image/png",
        "purpose": "maskable"
      },
      {
        "src": "icon by size",
        "sizes": "512x512",
        "type": "image/png",
        "purpose": "maskable"
      }
    ],
  theme_color: `Theme color`,
  background_color: `Background color`,
  ]
 }

• Manifest.json file in add this type of code including name, short_name, start_url, display, icon, icons, theme_color, background_color.

Add the Manifest to Your Base HTML Template

• Add the following line in yore 'index' file

Create offline.html as an Alias to index.html

By default, the service worker code below will render /offline.html instead of any resource it can't fetch while offline. Create a file at /offline.html to give your user a more helpful error message, explaining that this data isn't cached and the user is offline.

Create a Service Worker

• Create one file in yore root (sw.js)
• Link the sw.js file in the body tag

We have created some pages like

1. Home page (/)
2. Blog page (/blog)
3. Contact information (/contact)
4. Resume (/resume)
5. offline.html

• Add the code in your sw.js file

self.addEventListener("install", function(event) {
   event.waitUntil(preLoad());
});

 var preLoad = function(){
  return caches.open("offline").then(function(cache) {
    return cache.addAll(["/blog/", "/blog", "/", "/contact", 
 "/resume", "/offline.html"]);
    });
 };

 self.addEventListener("fetch", function(event) { event.respondWith(checkResponse(event.request).catch(function() 
  {
     return returnFromCache(event.request);
   }));
   event.waitUntil(addToCache(event.request));
  });

  var checkResponse = function(request){
   return new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {
     fetch(request).then(function(response){
       if(response.status !== 404) {
         fulfill(response);
       } else {
         reject();
       }
     }, reject);
   });
  };

  var addToCache = function(request){
   return caches.open("offline").then(function (cache) {
     return fetch(request).then(function (response) {
       console.log(response.url + " was cached");
       return cache.put(request, response);
     });
   });
  };

  var returnFromCache = function(request){
   return caches.open("offline").then(function (cache) {
     return cache.match(request).then(function (matching) {

In this article, I show you how to set up react application in Laravel Framework. as you know react is a very flexible frontend library and works with together any backend framework, so let start and follow the following steps. I hope you have created the laravel application.

You can watch the following video tutorial or follow this article as well,

Step 1:

Let's go to the resource directory in laravel. now let's create react application. you should watch the following tutorial if you don't know how to create react application.

Step 2:

Merge the package.json and package-lock.json files in the root. fire npm install && npm run dev command in terminal for compile react application to js.

Step 3:

In this step, you need to set up a webpack.mix.js file. put the following code in the webpack.mix.js file.

mix.options({
  postCss: [
      require('autoprefixer'),
  ],
});

mix.setPublicPath('public');

mix.webpackConfig({
  resolve: {
      extensions: ['.js', '.vue'],
      alias: {
          '@': __dirname + 'resources'
      }
  },
  output: {
      chunkFilename: 'js/chunks/[name].js',
  },
}).react();

// used to run app using reactjs
mix.js('resources/react-app/src/index.js', 'public/js/app.js').version();
mix.copy('resources/react-app/public', 'public');

NOTE: Don't forget to change the index.js path based on your application name

Step 4:

Let's add <div id="root"></div> to your application's root blade file

Step 5:

Let's inlude <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script> to your application's root blade file before end the body tag.

So, the Basic setup is done. enjoy react with laravel.

But if you want to add another project as a library in your application. For that, you need to add that library project to your application as a module dependency.

1. Open Your Project in Android Studio.

2. You will find the two main directory name samples and others.

3. Go to Android Studio and navigate to File -> New -> Import Module -> Select the library path -> Finish.

4. Import-Module from Directory.

5. Then right-click on the App directory -> Open Module Settings -> Dependencies -> Click on + button inside Declared Dependencies -> Module Dependency -> Select your library -> Ok.

Another way to add Module Dependency

• Open build.gradle Of the main module

dependencies {

implementation project(":sample")

}

There can be a situation when we need to modify the library code according to our requirement then in that case we can follow this method.
