- Microservice Approach for Web Development - Micro Frontends. Wondering what micro frontends term means? Check micro frontends description here. Simply speaking, micro frontend must implement business logic from top to bottom (database, middleware and UI) in isolated environment, it should be reusable and pluggable into main application UI shell. There must be no shared variables between micro frontends. Advantage - distributed teams can work on separate micro frontends, this improves large and modular system development. There is runtime advantage too - if one of the frontends stops working, main application should continue to work.

- Oracle JET Simple Table with Fake JSON Server. What if you want to build JET UI, but there is no back-end REST service ready yet. You could use static JSON data inside JET app and load it from the JSON file. This works, but data retrieval logic will need to be changed after REST service will be ready. This is not productive. Ideally you would like to have fake REST service to simulate REST calls from JET UI, until real REST back-end is ready.

- Oracle JET Busy Context API to Control Asynchronous REST Calls. I have received feedback from users working with JET UI - sometimes it is not obvious that action button was pressed, users tend to press same button again very fast, which leads to parallel REST calls executing at the same time. In JET - REST call is executed asynchronously, this makes user to believe action was done instantly when button was pressed. However, REST call still may run in the background - while user will be trying to call same service again. While in most of the cases such behaviour is fine, still there are use cases when we want to block action button, until REST response is not received (while response is executed, button will be disabled - this will give visual feedback to the user about action still executing). JET provides Busy Context API to handle asynchronous REST calls in synchronous way.

- Oracle JET Router State Control. In my use case there is requirement to navigate to JET module, without displaying it in menu structure. Navigation is a simple task, more complex is to make sure current menu item will be unselected after navigation to invisible module (so that later we are able to re-open it).

- Oracle JET Modular Architecture Example. One of my favourite parts in Oracle JET - modular code structuring support. This allows to split application functionality into modules and reusable functions. In this post I will show how you could leverage Oracle JET modular architecture not only by implementing common code functions, but also by managing data maintained in common modules.

- Oracle JET Slider in Foreach Loop. While working in the project last week, I had a question from development team - how to render multiple Oracle JET Slider components in foreach loop. I thought this could be useful tip for other developers too.

- Multi Language Support in Oracle JET. There is great post from Geertjan Wielenga about Translating Oracle JET Applications. If you want to introduce multi language support into JET app - this is great place to start reading from. We are building production Oracle Cloud app with ADF BC REST and JET. This app requires multi language support - English and Lithuanian. I will describe below how we integrated multi language into various areas in the app.

- Oracle JET Router API Example. One of the examples of JET Router API usage - sign-in/sign-out implementation. After sign-in we need to change menu structure and allow access to application modules, on sign-out menu structure should be changed again. JET Router API allows to manage application navigation and menu structure from JavaScript. Check complete API methods list here - JSDoc: Class: Router.

- JET Application - Generate with Yeoman - Debug in NetBeans. Let's take a look today how to debug JET application which is initially generated with Yeoman. We could debug in NetBeans, but by default application generated with Yeoman is not runnable in NetBeans, we need to add manually some config files - I will describe how. Also note - JET application created with NetBeans can't be directly served with grunt from command line, it also would require manual changes in the config. It would be nice if Oracle would make JET applications generated with Yeoman automatically runnable in NetBeans and vice versa.

- Better Oracle JET Code Structuring with Your Own Modules - Part II. You can end up into long lines of JavaScript code when implementing more complex use cases in JET. This will complicate maintenance and make code hardly readable. To prevent this - plan code structure carefully and use your own modules. Structure code into different modules - to reuse common code across multiple use cases.

- Oracle JET CRUD - Search and Edit Form - Part I. I'm going to post a series of articles about CRUD functionality (on top of ADF BC) implementation in JET. I already had a couple of posts about JET CRUD implementation, this new series will bring improved and simplified structure for JET code implementation.

- Oracle JET Composite Component and ADF BC REST. I decided to implement sample app for JET composite component. This is powerful thing, it allows to build pretty much any UIs with HTML - package as components and reuse in the apps. Not only UI - JET composite component gets data as any other standard JET component. This allows to build your own components for forms, tables, various widgets. It allows to simplify code complexity, you could hide frequently used code into JET components and use component with parameters only on the page.

- Oracle JET and ADF BC REST Security Integration Approach. I have promised to atendee of my OOW'16 session (Building Enterprise-Grade Mobile Apps with Oracle JET and Cordova [CON5731]) to post a blog about ADF BC REST security and integration with Oracle JET. This post is to demonstrate how we could reuse cookie ID generated by ADF BC REST Web session for REST requests from JET.

- Using the Oracle JET QuickStart Template. I will show in the post, how you can create single page applications with multiple modules in Oracle JET. As a starting point, you should use the Oracle JET QuickStart template, read about it here. This template comes with sample structure and you could follow it to split application functionality into different groups.

- Oracle JET Executing Dynamic ADF BC REST URL. I'm going to explain how to call ADF BC REST service from JET API and how to control parameters passed through to REST URL. Most of the time, REST should return data based on different parameter values, URL is not static. I will be exploring two cases - search functionality, where parameter value is entered by the user and LOV functionality, where current employee key is submitted to fetch colleagues list.
