Advanced Usage

Welcome to the advanced usage section of the MSDN documentation. This guide delves into more complex scenarios and powerful features of our platform that can help you build sophisticated applications.

1. Customizing Data Fetching and Manipulation

Learn how to implement custom data fetching strategies and perform advanced data transformations. This includes techniques like:

Implementing pagination and infinite scrolling for large datasets.
Using GraphQL for precise data retrieval.
Applying server-side filtering and sorting.
Integrating with external data sources.

Here's an example of configuring a custom data fetcher:


import { createFetcher } from '@msdn/data';

const customFetcher = createFetcher({
    fetch: async (endpoint, options) => {
        const response = await fetch(endpoint, options);
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }
        return response.json();
    },
    transform: (data) => {
        // Perform custom transformations here
        return data.map(item => ({
            ...item,
            fullName: `${item.firstName} ${item.lastName}`
        }));
    }
});

// Usage
const userData = await customFetcher('/api/users');
console.log(userData[0].fullName);

2. Implementing Real-time Features

Explore how to integrate real-time capabilities into your applications using WebSockets or Server-Sent Events. This section covers:

Setting up real-time data subscriptions.
Handling live updates and notifications.
Building chat or collaborative features.

Pro Tip:

When dealing with real-time data, consider implementing a robust error handling and reconnection strategy to ensure a seamless user experience.

3. Performance Optimization Techniques

Maximize the performance of your MSDN applications with these advanced techniques:

Code splitting and lazy loading components.
Implementing memoization and caching strategies.
Optimizing API calls and reducing payload size.
Leveraging background workers for heavy computations.

4. Advanced Authentication and Authorization

Secure your applications effectively with advanced authentication flows and fine-grained authorization mechanisms.

Implementing OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.
Role-based access control (RBAC).
Token management and refresh strategies.

5. Extending the MSDN Framework

Understand how to extend the MSDN framework to suit your unique project requirements. This may involve creating custom plugins, hooks, or middleware.
