How to Fix the Error Error:error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

If you are running Webpack or a CLI tool that’s built on top of Webpack (e.g., react-scripts for Create React App applications or vue-cli-service for Vue applications) with version 17 of Node.js, then you may have come across the following error: With Node.js v17+ supporting OpenSSL 3.0 , algorithms like MD4 have been relegated to OpenSSL 3.0’s legacy provider. A provider is a collection of cryptographic algorithm implementations. OpenSSL 3.0 comes with five standard providers : default, legacy, FIPS, base and null. The legacy provider consists of algorithms that are considered to be rarely used in today’s world or unsafe security-wise. This provider exists for backwards compatibility purposes (for software that still rely on these algorithms) and is not loaded by default. Webpack creates hashes using the crypto.createHash() method of the Node.js crypto module. This method can only create hashes with algorithms that are available and supported by the version of OpenSSL corresponding to the currently installed Node.js version. Since Webpack specifies to the crypto.createHash() method to use the MD4 algorithm (see below code), and this algorithm is not readily available in Node.js v17+ due to OpenSSL 3.0 not loading legacy providers by default, Webpack errors out and Node.js logs the error message Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported .

What Happened to the FC Type's Implicit children Prop in @types/react v18?

In @types/react v18, the implicit children prop was removed from the FC type. According to a pull request for @types/react , this prop was supposed to be removed in @types/react v17, but was postponed to @types/react v18 so that developers can easily upgrade their React applications to v17 with few to zero problems . Assuming React v18 and @types/react v18 are both installed within a React project, and given the following code for a component that accept children as a prop... TypeScript raises the following error:

Should I Directly Access Data From the Apollo Client or From React Component State?

Consider the following code snippet of a React component, <App /> , that... You may have noticed that the data sent back by the mutation provides the user's information in a logIn field, and any data returned from a successful mutation automatically gets added to the local Apollo Client cache. Therefore, why do we have a user state variable when we could just access the user's information via the data field in the mutation result object? For example, like this:
