Tip Land is a platform as a service for product creators and that can easily integrate the functionality of the tip of the day.
Many products today include daily tips for their best use in their interface, such as code editors, management systems among many others, Tip Land provides you with a platform with which you can create those tips for your products, through a API Key assigned to your account you can access the endpoint.
Made with Re2 Stack (Remix + Redis = Re2 Stack)
When two blazing-fast technologies come together to bring out the best of each other, something amazing happens:
In Remix the global state is the database and the database is the cache in Redis Stack.
The project manages persistence through the Redis OM for Node.js, for the tips of the day we have the following properties
Tip
- description: string
- categoryId: string
- userId: string
- createAt: Date
To start data management with Redis, a function is performed that creates a client that receives the connection url from the environment variables.
import { Client } from "redis-om";
const redisClient = new Client();
async function redisConnect () {
if (!redisClient.isOpen()) {
await redisClient.open(process.env.REDIS_URL);
}
};
export { redisClient, redisConnect };
Once having the connection, the Tip class is created, with its interface to define its attributes in Typescript and the schema
export interface Tip {
description: string;
categoryId: string;
userId: string;
createAt: Date;
category?: Category
}
export class Tip extends Entity {}
const tipSchema = new Schema(Tip, {
description: { type: "string" },
categoryId: { type: "string", indexed: true },
userId: { type: "string", indexed: true },
createAt: { type: "date", sortable: true }
});
Through generating a repository is where the connection between the client and the schema is made
async function getTipRepository(): Promise<Repository<Tip>> {
await redisConnect();
const repository = redisClient.fetchRepository(tipSchema);
await repository.createIndex();
return repository;
}
The createTip function generates a tip entity based on the user's identifier
export async function createTip({ userId, description, categoryId } : TipCreate) : Promise<Tip> {
const repository = await getTipRepository();
return repository.createAndSave({ userId, description, categoryId, createAt: new Date() });
}
On the user interface side through the action function defined in Remix is where the form information is obtained and the createTip function is called
export async function action({ request }: ActionArgs) {
const { userId } = await getAuth(request);
if(!userId) {
return redirect("/sign-up");
}
const formData = await request.formData();
const intent = formData.get("intent") as IntentType;
if(intent === "create") {
const description = formData.get("description") as string;
const categoryId = formData.get("categoryId") as string;
const tip = await createTip({ userId, categoryId, description });
return json({ intent, tip });
}
}
Through the getAllTipsByUserPaging function, the user identifier, the offset, and the elements that are consulted in total in the paging are received
export async function getAllTipsByUserPaging({ userId, offset = 0, perPage = 1}: TipSearch): Promise<Tip[]> {
const repository = await getTipRepository();
return repository.search()
.where("userId")
.equals(userId)
.sortDescending("createAt")
.return
.page(offset, perPage);
}
On the user interface side, Remix determines that the loader function is in charge of calling the functions that access the data.
export async function loader({ request }: LoaderArgs) {
const { userId } = await getAuth(request);
if(!userId) {
return redirect("/sign-up");
}
const offset = getQueryIntParameter(request, "offset", 0);
const perPage = getQueryIntParameter(request, "per_page", 200);
const [total, plainTips, categories] = await Promise.all([
countAllTipsByUser(userId),
getAllTipsByUserPaging({ userId, offset, perPage }),
getAllCategoriesByUser(userId)
]);
const tips = getTipsWithCategory({ tips: plainTips, categories });
return json({ total, tips, categories, offset, perPage });
}
- Node >= v14.0.0

To make deploys work, you need to create free account on Redis Cloud
Also the Clerk for handling authentication.
Here some resources to help you quickly get started using Redis Stack. If you still have questions, feel free to ask them in the Redis Discord or on Twitter.
- Sign up for a free Redis Cloud account using this link and use the Redis Stack database in the cloud.
- Based on the language/framework you want to use, you will find the following client libraries:
