Higher Order Components

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

const Hello = ({ name }) => <h1>Hello {name}!</h1>;

// Take in a component as argument WrappedComponent
function simpleHOC(WrappedComponent) {
  // And return a new anonymous component
  return class extends React.Component{
    render() {
      return <WrappedComponent {...this.props}/>;
    }
  }
}

const NewComponent = simpleHOC(Hello);

const App = () =>
  <div>
    <NewComponent name="CodeSandbox" />
  </div>;

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Functional programming

  • functions as first class citizen
  • limited side effects
  • .map / .reduce
  • tail optimizations

Reactive programming

.children

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

const ContainerUsingProps = props => (
  <div>
    <h1>this is a container</h1>
    {props.header}
    {props.sidebar}
  </div>
);

const ContainerUsingChildren = props => (
  <div>
    <h1>this is a container</h1>
    {props.children}
  </div>
);

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <ContainerUsingChildren>
      <div>
        <header>This is a header</header>
        <aside>This is a sidebar thing</aside>
      </div>
    </ContainerUsingChildren>

    <ContainerUsingProps
      header={<header>This is a header</header>}
      sidebar={<aside>This is a sidebar thing</aside>}
    />
  </div>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Styled components

CSS/SCSS as code

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import styled from 'styled-components';

const Wrapper = styled.section`
  padding: 4em;
  background: papayawhip;
`;

const Title = styled.h1`
  font-size: 1.5em;
  text-align: center;
  color: palevioletred;
`;

// Render these styled components like normal react components.
// They will pass on all props and work
// like normal react components – except they're styled!
const App = () => (
  <Wrapper>
    <Title>Hello World, this is my first styled component!</Title>
  </Wrapper>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Redux

Common

Communication Problems

  • Share data across multiple components
  • 3+ communication layers
  • Notyfications
  • Cross Cutting Concerns

Redux architecture

Redux vs Flow

https://github.com/reactjs/redux/issues/653

Redux Form

Thunk

 

  • all functions are async

Saga

  • generators based
  • call, put, take, takeEvery, takeLast, cancel
  • easy for testing

Async/Await

 

  • new es2015+ api


Quality

Jest

Enzyme

Flow

Deployment

ENV

Server-side rendering

CORS

Alternatives

Preact

Vue

MobX

Zeit.js

GraphQL

immutable.js
