Embedding Github code into your Blogger blog

When I have thought about writing my own programming blog, it seems very easy to me I just have to login into Blogger using my gmail account. But in process of writing my first blog I  have faced a lots of problems like how to format my content how to insert images and a lots of things, But the major one is how to enter my my hand written well formatted code into my blog. So I have tried to just copy paste the code into Compose mode and also tried to embed it into HTML but I was not able to maintain the format of my code.

So have done some research over the net and found a lots of ways to do so there are lots of JS plugins to do so etc. But one way seems to be very cool and  easy to me is posting your code on Github Gist and then making reference from your blog. We should not confuse gist with git, both are separate things. Git is a popular source code management system while Gist is really an awesome way to share your well formatted code with anyone on any platform with just a javascript call, and below I am going to show you how to do that.

You can refer your complete gist repo or you can choose any file from your repo to do so. To do this first of all you need to create a Github account, it is very easy and you can found a lots of tutorials for that even on the official Github website. Then you need to make a gist repository for that you can also find tutorial on this link about gists.

Lets walk through below steps and share your github code on your blog

First of all you need to create a gist repository on e.g. this is one of my gist repo CustomSolrRepo.
you can create your Gist repo online on this link, all you need to do is just enter a filename with extension on top and then  add some code below and then click on create public gist, you can also create a secret gist if you want.




Now you need to copy the complete script tag which is just right to Embed dropdown box.



















And paste it in your blog, but you need to open your blog in HTML mode and you should paste it at the end after any tag. You might have created more than one file in your gist repository so to embed code of only one file into your you need to mention that file as argument inside the script tag e.g.

<script src="https://gist.github.com/njnareshjoshi/98eafbaaa55b919f551e.js?file=CustomSolrRepoApp.java"></script>

Same I am doing in blog here



And you can the output here


However when you will switch to Compose mode again you will not be able to see that but you can see that in Preview mode.

Why Single Java Source File Can Not Have More Than One public class

According to Java standards and common practices we should declare every class in its own source file. And even if we declare multiple classes in the single source file (.java) still each class will have its own class file after compilation. But the fact is that we can declare more than one class in a single source file with below constraints, Each source file should contain only one public class and the name of that public class should be similar to the name of the source file. If you are declaring the main method in your source file then main should lie in that public class If there is no public class in the source file then main method can lie in any class and we can give any name to the source file. If you are not following 1st constraint then you will receive a compilation error saying “ The public type A must be defined in its own file ”.  While if you are not following the second constraint you will receive an error “ Error: Could not find or load main class User ” after ...

Java Cloning - Copy Constructor versus Cloning

In my previous article Java Cloning and Types of Cloning (Shallow and Deep) in Details with Example , I have discussed Java Cloning in details and answered questions about how we can use cloning to copy objects in Java, what are two different types of cloning (Shallow & Deep) and how we can implement both of them, if you haven’t read it please go ahead. In order to implement cloning, we need configure our classes to follow below steps Implement Cloneable interface in our class or its superclass or interface, Define clone() method which should handle CloneNotSupportedException (either throw or log), And in most cases from our clone() method we call the clone() method of the superclass. And super.clone() will call its super.clone() and chain will continue until call will reach to clone() method of the Object class which will create a field by field mem copy of our object and return it back. Like everything Cloning also comes with its advantages and disadvantages. However, Java c...

Spring Data JPA Auditing: Saving CreatedBy, CreatedDate, LastModifiedBy, LastModifiedDate automatically

In any business application auditing simply means tracking and logging every change we do in the persisted records which simply means tracking every insert, update and delete operation and storing it. Auditing helps us in maintaining history records which can later help us in tracking user activities. If implemented properly auditing can also provide us similar functionality like version control systems. I have seen projects storing these things manually and doing so become very complex because you will need to write it completely by your own which will definitely require lots of code and lots of code means less maintainability and less focus on writing business logic. But why should someone need to go to this path when both JPA and Hibernate provides Automatic Auditing which we can be easily configured in your project. And here in this article, I will discuss how we can configure JPA to persist CreatedBy, CreatedDate, LastModifiedBy, LastModifiedDate columns automatically for any ...
