Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The source code will be generated in the src/resources/{type} folder depending on the type you selected."

A block of code is set as follows:

function sum(numberA, numberB){
    return numberA + numberB
}
sum(4,5) //9
sum(5,2) //7
sum(sum(5,1),9) //15

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

class Example {
    static returnMessage(){
        return 'From static method'
    }
}
let staticMessage = Example.returnMessage() // From static method

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

cd my-app
au run --watch --env prod

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Create a New item, which requires admin."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
