Git Rebasing: An Elfin Workshop Workflow

Git Rebasing: An Elfin Workshop Workflow | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

This year Santa’s helpers have been tasked with making a garland. It’s a pretty simple task: string beads onto yarn in a specific order. When the garland reaches a specific length, add it to the main workshop garland. Each elf has a specific sequence they’re supposed to chain, which is given to them via a work order. (This is starting to sound like one of those horrible calculus problems. I promise it isn’t. It’s worse; it’s about Git.)

Idiomatic React aims to be the simplest API-centric Flux app

Idiomatic React aims to be the simplest API-centric Flux app | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

It's complemented by Idiomatic React Chat (on the branch chat of this repository), implementing Facebook's Flux Chat app.

Features
  • Routing, with stateful navigation bar
  • ES6/ES7 transpilation to ES5, allowing ES6 constructs and ES7 await/async in the code
  • REST API adapter to I/O data, bufferring in stores
  • Immutable stores
Motive

Considering the frequent mutation of technology happening on the React scene, we believe developers might feel the need for a simple, idiomatic app reflecting the current state of the technology and techniques, be it for bootstrapping awesome apps, or simply to improve their skills.

This project aims to be simple and idiomatic. We're not there yet, and we rely heavily on contributors (on you !) to make this happen.

Deku: How we built our functional alternative to React

Deku: How we built our functional alternative to React | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

Deku is our library for building user interfaces. It supports many of the features you’re familiar with in React but aims to be small and functional. You define your UI as a tree of components and whenever a state change occurs it re-renders the entire tree to patch the DOM using a highly optimized diffing algorithm.

The whole library weighs in at less than 10kb and is easy to follow. It’s also using npm so some of those modules are probably being used elsewhere in your code anyway.

It uses the same concept of components as React. However, we don’t support older browsers, so the codebase is small and component API is almost non-existent. It even supports JSX thanks to Babel.

The Isomorphic Express Boilerplate

The Isomorphic Express Boilerplate | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

Isomorphic means that it's designed to run a lot of the same code on both the client and the server. Typically that includes a lot of rendering and domain logic. (Not to be confused with isomorphisms from category theory / functional programming. That's a totally different thing.)

There are many advantages to building apps this way, but the primary advantages are:

  • Cross-functional teams. Since everything is written in JavaScript, it's easier to build teams who know how to work on both the client and server sides of the app.
  • Write once, run everywhere. With the exception of a few library substitutions and browser polyfills, the code is shared, which means you have to write about half the code you'd write working on a non-isomorphic app.
  • More productive developers. Since the app is more consistent across the stack, there's no context switching when you need to maintain application behavior on both sides of the stack. Write the behavior once, and you're done. Context switching slows developers down significantly.

T3 JavaScript Framework

T3 JavaScript Framework | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

T3 is different than most JavaScript frameworks. It's meant to be a small piece of an overall architecture that allows you to build scalable client-side code. A T3 application is managed by theApplication object, whose primary job is to manage modules, services, and behaviors. It's the combination of these three types of objects that allow you to build a scalable JavaScript front-end.

T3's design enforces best practices such as loose coupling by limiting how certain components can communicate with each other. Modules cannot interact directly with other modules but may communicate with them through an event bus. Modules may use services directly, but may only reference behaviors in a declarative way. These restrictions ensure that the various pieces remain loosely-coupled to make dependency management easy and maintenance self-contained.

The loosely-coupled nature of T3 components means that creating tests is easy. Dependencies are injected into each component, making it trivial to substitute a mock object in place of real ones.

Git from the inside out

Git from the inside out | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

This essay explains how Git works. It assumes you understand Git well enough to use it to version control your projects.

The essay focuses on the graph structure that underpins Git and how the properties of this graph dictate Git’s behavior. This focus on fundamentals lets you build your mental model on the truth, rather than on hypotheses constructed from evidence gathered while experimenting with the API. This truer model gives you a better understanding of what Git has done, what it is doing, and what it will do.

Brisket - Isomorphic Javascript Framework by Bloomberg

Brisket - Isomorphic Javascript Framework by Bloomberg | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

"best perceived speed, the greatest code freedom, and the strongest search engine optimization"

Brisket is a framework for building single page web apps using isomorphic JavaScript. A Brisket app is both a traditional web site AND a single page web application at the same time. Brisket provides the tools that you need to spend your time focusing on your application's logic rather than on "what environment is my code running in?".

React components and Flux architecture

The app (try to) follow the React/Flux architecture. So all the code is divided into: actions,dispatcherstores and views.

Maybe I didn't always follow the pattern so strictly, as you will see after with stores, but I did my best to be clear.

Adding authentication to your React Flux app

Adding authentication to your React Flux app | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

However, once you start creating a bigger app, you realize that just using React isn’t enough. So you start looking at Flux, which is the architecture Facebook uses to create React apps.

As we learned in a previous blog post, learning how to conduct authentication in a Single Page App can get super complex. We had to learn about tokens, JWTs and how to integrate them with SPAs. Learning how to do it with Flux is even harder! That’s why in this blogpost we’ll learn how to add authentication to a React Flux app.

I wrote a JavaScript study guide

I wrote a JavaScript study guide | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

JavaScript is a disgusting language. But I love it!

It’s riddled with awful parts, was put together in 10 days, and now we have to suffer for the next 20 years (it turns 20 in a few months).  However, it’s also the duct tape of the internet, and it works just about anywhere that there is a browser. It’s also perhaps the most misunderstood language.

At hackathons, I see tons of students trying to get started with JavaScript, as they are trying to write web apps or cross platform mobile ones, and they often get caught on simple things. For that reason, I’ve put together a JavaScript study guide.
