LET'S START!

ASSEMBLE THE AVENGERS!

AND DO IT USING JAVASCRIPT

THE SERVER CAVE

AT FIRST, THERE WAS NOTHING.

> node

> var x = { a: 5 };
undefined

> console.log(x.a)
5
undefined

> x.b = function(){...}
[Function]

> x.c("Hello!")
TypeError: undefined is not a function

Created in 2009,
NodeJS was the first server side JavaScript engine that got widely adopted

Node is single threaded

http://latentflip.com/loupe/


var greets = ['World!', 'Kitty', ', Its Me'];

greets.forEach(function hello(greet) {
    console.log('Hello' + greet);
});

> node hello.js

Hello World!
Hello Kitty
Hello, It's Me


var fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('myFile.txt', function(err, result){
    console.log(result);
});

> node fileReader.js

Lorem Ipsum Dolor
Sit Amet Hodor.
Hodor hodor hodor,
hodor.

fileReader.js

hello.js

JAVASCRIPT + I/O

It works, but not very scalable....

ONE FILE

VALLEY OF SHARING

var hulkStatus = require('./hulk.js');
var ironMan = require('./ironMan.js');

console.log('Hulk is ' + hulkStatus);
console.log(ironMan.name() + ' is Iron Man');

> node avengers.js

Hulk is MAD
Tony Stark is Iron Man

var radiation = 10000;
module.exports = 'MAD'

function getName() {
    return 'Tony Stark';
}
exports.name = getName;
exports.age = 48;

hulk.js

ironMan.js

avengers.js

Thinking in Modules

**What is require?**

Module Systems

CommonJS

Synchronous, on demand
Used by Node environment
Only one, mutable export

var moduleA = require('./fileA.js');
console.log(moduleA.name());

if(moduleA.size) {
    var moduleB = require('./fileB.js');
    console.log(moduleB);
}

exports.name = function(){...}
exports.size = 10;

var moduleC = require('./fileC.js')
module.exports = ...;

main.js

fileA.js

fileB.js

Module Systems

AMD

Asynchronous
Used mostly on web environment
Mutable objects

require(['./moduleA'], function(moduleA){
  console.log(moduleA.name());
  if(moduleA.size){
    require(['./moduleB'], function(moduleB){
      console.log(moduleB);
    })
  }
})

define('moduleA', [], function(){
    return {...}
});

define('moduleB', ['moduleC'], function(){
    return ...
});

main.js

fileA.js

fileB.js

Much better!

But still a lot of hard work....

Do I have to write everything myself?

VILLAGE OF COLLABORATION

In the JS community, developers

publish code as packages for other developers to use

PACKAGE

MANAGER

NPM IS A NODE UTILITY

> node -v
v8.5.0
> npm -v
v5.3.0

ALREADY BUNDLED IN NODE

BIGGEST CODE REPO IN THE WORLD

JSON BASED CONFIGURATION

NPMJS IS
NPM'S REGISTRY

BUT NPM CAN INSTALL PACKAGES FROM ANY SOURCE

SOUNDS GREAT!

THE ONLY CATCH IS

THAT IF YOU WANT TO USE PACKAGES...

YOU HAVE TO BE A PACKAGE YOURSELF!

An NPM package is just a folder with js files and a package.json

WHAT IS A "PACKAGE"?

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": "Liad",
  "scripts": {},
  "main": "avengers.js",
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {}
}

avengers.js

hulk.js

ironman.js

package.json

{ }

PACKAGE ANATOMY

PACKAGE.JSON

LOCATED IN THE ROOT,
A JSON CONFIG FILE THAT DESCRIBES THE PACKAGE PROPERTIES

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": 1.0.0,
  "description": "A Cool Package",
  "author": "Liad Yosef",
  "license": "MIT",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/liady/my_package.git"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "main": "index.js"
}

MANDATORY FIELDS

NAME AND VERSION MUST BE FILLED

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": 1.0.0,
  "description": "A Cool Package",
  "author": "Liad Yosef",
  "license": "MIT",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/liady/my_package.git"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "main": "index.js"
}

AUTO INIT

NPM INIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE A CONFIG

PACKAGE ANATOMY

will copy a package from NPM
to a folder called node_modules

$ npm install {package}

PACKAGE ANATOMY

NODE_MODULES

var moduleA = require('./moduleA');
var moduleB = require('./subFolder/moduleB');
var lodash = require('lodash');
var express = require('express');

var moduleA = require('./moduleA');
var moduleB = require('./subFolder/moduleB');
var lodash = require('node_modules/lodash');
var express = require('node_modules/express');

By default, Node automatically resolves package names to the node_modules folder

main.js

PACKAGE ANATOMY

A package can define other packages as dependencies, to be installed with it

node_modules

lodash

marvel

marvel

leftpad

my-package

express

galaxy

leftpad

express

PACKAGE ANATOMY

This can get out of hand real quick.
Run npm ls to see which package brings
which dependencies

PACKAGE ANATOMY

Will save the package as a dependency

Will save the package as a development dependency - it's required for build or tests, but not for our runtime.

$ npm install {package} --save

$ npm install {package} --save-dev

VERSION PROBLEMS

Getting the correct version that doesn't break the code can be... problematic.

NPM maintaines a packge-lock.json file, that holds the EXACT versions of the installed packages

SOLUTIONS

Decide on a common ground - which code can be published to NPM inside packages

Allow developers to use new ES features regardless of their target platform

BUT HOW???

Abstract Syntax Tree

var bar = [1, 2, 3]

var foo = { bar: 1 }

Babel parses the code to an AST structure

const x = new Hero("Hulk", [1, 2, 3]);

The AST structure is traversable

Babel uses transforms
to manipulate the AST

Transforms are visitors that run on nodes, and can change the AST

[1, 2, 3]

utils.vector("1", "2", "3")

There are Babel plugins for every ES feature

es-arrow-functions

es-classes

es-shorthand-properties

es-spread

decorators

function-bind

react-jsx

react-display-name

async-generators

es-modules

For convenience, they are grouped into presets

Install presets

2. Configure .babelrc

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-decorators ...

Install additional plugins

3. Add a script to package.json

$ npm run build

4. Run Babel!

Note that now with

we have two code folders

source

dist

where our actual coding takes place

the code that can actually run

1. We can no longer code & refresh

2. We have to specify to npm where our ES5 code is

{
  "main": "dist/avengers.js"
}

PACKAGE IS READY!

bundle.js

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="public/bundle.js"></script>
    ...
    </head>
</html>

THE FILE CAN BE USED IN <SCRIPT>

index.html

BASIC CONFIGURATION

module.exports = {
  entry: './avengers.js',
  output: {
    path: 'dist',
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  }
};

webpack.config.js

THAT'S IT.

FILE TYPES

Webpack should handle all types of dependencies, not just JS

import Icon from './Icon.jsx';
...

.scene {
  background: url("./all.png");
}

styles = require('./styles.scss');
...
return (
  <Button>{styles.name}</Button>
)

index.js

Icon.jsx

styles.scss

all.png

CSS, SCSS, LESS

JSX, ELM, TS

ES6, ES7, ES?

PNG, SVG, TTF

FILE TYPES - LOADERS

Weback uses loaders to manipulate files
Files go through loaders to become valid js before getting into the bundle

.scss

.css

.js

.jsx

.js

.png

.js

.png

Icon.jsx

styles.scss

all.png

.js

.png

dist

FILE TYPES - LOADERS

babel-loader

converts es6 + jsx to js

sass-loader, style-loader

converts sass to css, embed as <style>

eslint-loader

run eslint on files

url-loader

move assets to dist

AND MANY MORE!

FILE TYPES - LOADERS

module.exports = {
  entry: './avengers.js',
  output: {
    path: 'public',
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.js$/, use: ['eslint-loader'] },
      { test: /\.jsx$/, use: ['babel-loader'] },
      { test: /\.png$/, use: [ 'url-loader'] },
      { test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader'] }
    ]
  }
};

webpack.config.js

BUNDLE CONTROL

Weback will create a single bundle, unless told otherwise

Asset

Size

bundle.js

15.7MB

SPLIT POINTS

We can define split points in the code to split the bundle

// will be bundled in THIS CHUNK
import ironMan from './ironMan.js';

// will be bundled in THIS CHUNK
const spiderman = require('./spiderman.js');

// will create a NEW SPLIT POINT - new async chunk
const hulk = await import('./hulk.js');

SPLIT POINTS

We can define split points in the code to split the bundle

import { Apps } from 'consts';

export default function(appName) {
    switch(appName) {
    case Apps.DESIGN_EDITOR:
        return import('apps/designEditor?chunkName=designEditor');
    case Apps.CONTENT_EDITOR:
        return import('apps/contentEditor?chunkName=contentEditor');
    case Apps.MOBILE_CONTENT_EDITOR:
        return import('apps/mobileContentEditor?chunkName=mobileContentEditor');
    case Apps.SHELL:
        return import('apps/shell?chunkName=shell');
    default:
        return Promise.reject(`The app loader does not have a handler defined for app ${appName}`);
    }
}

CODE SPLITTING IN REAL FILE

Webpack also has a lot of plugins that run on the bundle itself

Minification
Coverage
Stats
Notifier
Clean Dist
And more...

module.exports = {
  entry: './avengers.js',
  output: {
    path: 'public',
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.js$/, use: ['eslint-loader'] },
      { test: /\.jsx$/, use: ['babel-loader'] },
      { test: /\.png$/, use: [ 'url-loader'] },
      { test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader'] }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [new UglifyPlugin()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      "home": "./src/index.js"
    }
  }
};

webpack.config.js

$ npm install --save-dev webpack

$ npm install --save-dev babel-loader ...

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "webpack",
    "watch": "webpack --watch"
  }
}

package.json

install

$ npm install --save-dev plugin-uglify ..

LET'S START!

ASSEMBLE THE AVENGERS!

AND DO IT USING JAVASCRIPT

THE SERVER CAVE

AT FIRST, THERE WAS NOTHING.

Created in 2009, NodeJS was the first server side JavaScript engine that got widely adopted

Node is single threaded

fileReader.js

hello.js

JAVASCRIPT + I/O

It works, but not very scalable....

ONE FILE

VALLEY OF SHARING

hulk.js

ironMan.js

avengers.js

Thinking in Modules

What is require?

main.js

fileA.js

fileB.js

main.js

fileA.js

fileB.js

Much better!

But still a lot of hard work....

Do I have to write everything myself?

VILLAGE OF COLLABORATION

In the JS community, developers

publish code as packages for other developers to use

NPM IS A NODE UTILITY

ALREADY BUNDLED IN NODE

BIGGEST CODE REPO IN THE WORLD

JSON BASED CONFIGURATION

NPMJS IS NPM'S REGISTRY

BUT NPM CAN INSTALL PACKAGES FROM ANY SOURCE

SOUNDS GREAT!

THE ONLY CATCH IS

THAT IF YOU WANT TO USE PACKAGES...

YOU HAVE TO BE A PACKAGE YOURSELF!

An NPM package is just a folder with js files and a package.json

WHAT IS A "PACKAGE"?

PACKAGE ANATOMY

PACKAGE.JSON

LOCATED IN THE ROOT, A JSON CONFIG FILE THAT DESCRIBES THE PACKAGE PROPERTIES

MANDATORY FIELDS

NAME AND VERSION MUST BE FILLED

AUTO INIT

NPM INIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE A CONFIG

PACKAGE ANATOMY

will copy a package from NPM to a folder called node_modules

PACKAGE ANATOMY

will copy a package from NPM to a folder called node_modules

PACKAGE ANATOMY

NODE_MODULES

By default, Node automatically resolves package names to the node_modules folder

main.js

PACKAGE ANATOMY

A package can define other packages as dependencies, to be installed with it

PACKAGE ANATOMY

This can get out of hand real quick. Run npm ls to see which package brings which dependencies

PACKAGE ANATOMY

Will save the package as a dependency

Will save the package as a development dependency - it's required for build or tests, but not for our runtime.

Installs the packages from package.json

SEMVER

SEMANTIC VERSIONING

Created in 2009,
NodeJS was the first server side JavaScript engine that got widely adopted

**What is require?**

NPMJS IS
NPM'S REGISTRY

LOCATED IN THE ROOT,
A JSON CONFIG FILE THAT DESCRIBES THE PACKAGE PROPERTIES

will copy a package from NPM
to a folder called node_modules

will copy a package from NPM
to a folder called node_modules

This can get out of hand real quick.
Run npm ls to see which package brings
which dependencies

THE FORMAL COMMITTEE
THAT CREATES THE SPEC FOR JAVASCRIPT

This is so cool!
Let's use ALL OF IT!
