Introducing
Sacrificial Architecture
choosing a sacrificial architecture means accepting now that after some time you'll need to throw away what you're currently building.
Design code that you can throw away!
Two levels
The whole project
Incremental
It's not a pattern
It's a way to accept technical debt...
...and to manage it

Frameworks
Choose your framework as you will need to change it after six months
Choose wisely what features to use of a framework
app.factory('getUsers',['$http',function($http){
return $http.get('api/v1/users');
});
app.controller('home',[
'$scope',
'getUsers',
function(
$scope,
getUsers){
getUsers().then(function(response){
$scope.users = response.data;
});
}]);
export default () => {
return fetch('api/v1/users').then(function (response) {
return response.json();
});
};
import getUsers from './getUsers';
app.controller('home',[
'$scope',
function(
$scope){
getUsers().then(function(users){
$scope.users = users;
});
}]);
Design your way out of a framework
UI Components
UI Components are Microservices for frontend development
Separate Logic
export default (param) => {
//Do Something
};
import myLogicFunction from './myLogicFunction';
class DummyButton extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div onClick={() => {myLogicFunction('This is a Value!'}}>
Click Me Bro!
</div>
);
}
}
import EventBus from 'EventBus';
class DummyButton extends React.Component {
onButtonClick() {
EventBus.dispatch('SOMETHING_HAPPENED','This is a Value!');
}
render() {
return (
<div onClick={() => {onButtonClick()}}>
Click Me Bro!
</div>
);
}
}
import EventBus from 'EventBus';
export default {
init:{
EventBus.on('SOMETHING_HAPPENED',(params) => {
//DO SOMETHING
});
}
};
