Laravel Sanctum, formerly known as Airlock, is a Laravel package created for the authentication of Single Page Applications (SPAs), mobile applications, and basic token-based APIs. It can be used to issue API Tokens to your users and authenticate Single Page Applications using Laravel’s session. Laravel Sanctum poses as a simple alternative to the existing Laravel Passport package. Here are some reasons you might want to choose Sanctum over Passport:

1. Passport is implemented with OAuth2 authentication. If you are not using that, then Sanctum is your go-to for issuing API tokens.
2. Sanctum is a featherweight, meaning it is light and simple to implement.
3. Sanctum works with SPAs (Single Page Applications like Vue, Angular, and React) and supports mobile application authentication.

Transfers of EU personal data to the US and other third countries have long been an area of concern for privacy-conscious EU customers and EU data protection authorities.  On July 16, 2020, these concerns came to the fore again when the Court of Justice for the European Union (CJEU) ruled on Schrems II . While Twilio has already taken significant steps to ensure data we process is adequately safeguarded wherever in the world we process it (including, among other things, our Binding Corporate Rules and issuing semi-annual transparency reports), we know that this ruling raises important questions about the impact they may have on your business.

We’re excited to share the following details for how Twilio is taking further action to give customers greater control over personal data transfers, and we’re committed to providing updates on a quarterly basis.

Twilio’s plan

As regions, like Europe, continue to lead in …

Timeliness of communication this year may define the success of COVID-19 vaccination efforts. Appointments need to be kept, and doses need to keep moving.

This tutorial is great for those who want to add SMS notifications to vaccine workflows without having to write code. We’ll build a vaccine appointment reminder using Microsoft’s Power Automate and Office365. Governments and hospital systems can use this model to set up their own SMS notification workflow quickly.

Prerequisites

Generally, there are four parts to this project:

1. A Twilio account with an SMS capable number
2. An Office 365 account with Power Automate enabled
3. An Office 365 Excel table that holds our data
4. A Power Automate flow to message residents every day

One important note before we begin: For entities covered under HIPAA, ensure that security and privacy controls are in place to protect patient data. The products used in this blog: Microsoft’s Office 365, Microsoft’s …

In this article you’ll learn how to send an SMS from your Svelte app. Because Svelte is a client-side framework, you’ll need to have a backend server that can handle sending the message, otherwise your Twilio credentials would be exposed. For this, you’ll create an API using Twilio Functions.

To demonstrate these concepts, you’ll build a Svelte app with a button. When the button is clicked, a POST request will be made to your API. The API will send a message and then return a response back to your Svelte app.

Prerequisites

In order to follow along with this tutorial, you’ll need these tools and technologies:

• npm or yarn
• Node.js installed on your machine
• If you’re using VS Code, you might want to snag this Svelte extension
• A free Twilio account (if you sign up with this link, we’ll both get $10 in Twilio credit when you upgrade!)
• A …

February is Black History Month – a month dedicated to educating and celebrating the significant achievements Black people have made to our nation and the rest of the world. While celebrating Black culture, heritage, and history, it is equally important that we share uplifting stories about Black Families' experiences who epitomize power, strength, and resilience - the backbone of healthy, thriving Black communities.

This year's Black History Month national theme is the Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity.The Association for the Study of African American Life and History chose this theme because of the Black families' centuries-long degradation in America. The negative portrayals of Black families have created a one-dimensional view that is too often widely accepted as the norm when there's so much more beauty and depth to the Black family.

Telling our own story

To celebrate Black History Month, the Black Twilions employee resource group put …

Learning React for the first time can be unnecessarily difficult. Like, seriously - how can React, a JavaScript UI library be such a challenge when it's widely used in the industry?

You might have heard that React allows you to build custom components that can be reused throughout the project. In fact, after drawing a mockup of the web application you want to build – using boxes – you might notice some patterns or similarities between the components you create.

With that said, how can you write code as efficiently and clean as possible while dealing with some components that might differ only slightly from another?

In this article, you'll be exploring how to use wrappers for custom components in a basic Typescript React project so that you can practice writing clean code and reusing components efficiently.

Tutorial Requirements

Hello and welcome in this article! Today I’m going to show you five different ways to do HTTP requests in Ruby.

Before we start writing code I want to tell you how I’m happy I wrote this tutorial. Ruby on Rails is my favourite framework in the world and as every obsessive person I tend to always use the things I love.

Taking a step back to simple things as HTTP requests made me write and execute simple .rb files and it felt great to unleash the power of Ruby with my simple hands and not all the Rails magic that often secludes us from the basics of the language.

And what’s even better about the classics is they work in all the more complex environments so I’ll show you here how to do it with your own .rb file but this also works in any Ruby based framework.

Bonjour et bienvenue dans cet article. Aujourd’hui nous allons voir ensemble comment faire des requêtes HTTP en Ruby de cinq façons différentes.

Mais avant de nous plonger dans le code, je voulais juste prendre une minute pour partager avec vous ma joie d’avoir écrit ce tutoriel.

Pour l’écriture de cet article, j’ai tout fait avec de simples fichiers .rbet je ne le savais pas mais ça m’avait manqué de m’éloigner de mon framework favori - RubyOnRails - et de toute sa magie et de revenir aux basiques de ce qu’est Ruby.

Et le meilleur dans tout ça ? Les basiques fonctionnent aussi dans les cas plus complexes, donc je vous montrerai comment intégrer tout ça dans votre framework Ruby préféré en fin d’article.

Prérequis

Pour suivre ce tutoriel, vous aurez besoin de:

• Ruby installé sur votre machine. J’utilise Ruby dans sa dernière version, actuellement 3.0.0 et je gère mes …
