Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The container runtime on a Docker host consists of containerd and runc."

A block of code is set as follows:

{
  "name": "api",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

ARG BASE_IMAGE_VERSION=12.7-stretch
FROM node:${BASE_IMAGE_VERSION}
WORKDIR /app
COPY packages.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD npm start

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
