Dependency Management done wrong:

Problems are with Frameworks

JSDC Taiwan 2016 / #jsdc2016 / @blakenewman

Choose your framework as if you will need to change it after six months

JSDC Taiwan 2016 / #jsdc2016 / @blakenewman

Don't be a slave to Frameworks

// getUsers factory
getUsers.$inject = ['$http'];

function getUsers($http) {
    return $http.get('api/v1/users').then(function (response) {
        return response.data;
    });
}

app.factory('getUsers', getUsers);



// ----



// Home controller
homeController.$inject = ['$scope', 'getUsers'];

function homeController($score, getUsers) {
    getUsers().then(function (users) {
        $scope.users = users;
    });
}

app.controller('home', homeController);

// getUsers es6 module
export default async function getUsers(){
    const { json } = await fetch('api/v1/users');
    return json();
};

// Home controller
import getUsers from './getUsers';

homeController.$inject = ['$scope'];

async function homeController($scope) {
    $scope.users = await getUsers();
}

app.controller('home', homeController);

The best code that you can write now, probably won't be in a few years

Exploring Vue.js

http://vuejs.org/guide/

JSDC Taiwan 2016 / #jsdc2016 / @blakenewman

What does Vue deliver?

Library for the View layer

Components with reactivity

Extendable via plugins

Lightweight

Simplicity

Testable

JSDC Taiwan 2016 / #jsdc2016 / @blakenewman

How does Vue.js work?

 

Reactive data-binding system for a  Data-driven view

DOM in sync with data

Object.defineProperty

JSDC Taiwan 2016 / #jsdc2016 / @blakenewman

How does Vue.js work?

Component System helps with small abstraction layer

 

Component loosely modeled after the Web Components spec

 

Implements the Slot API and the special attribute is

Adapting to change #jsdc2016

Best practises to ensure you can adapt to change. Sacrificial Architecture can ensure you can constantly adapt your code and tooling. We will take a look at Vue.js, to see what it is trying to solve. Seeing how it can help you now and in the future.
