COMPONENTS
Templates | Components | |
---|---|---|
Separations of concerns | Technology (HTML/CSS) | Responsibility "Display UI" |
Semantic |
New concepts (scope, directives, iterators) | HTML and JavaScript |
Expressiveness | Underpowered | Full power of JavaScript |
JSX
- Syntax sugar HTML-like markup
- Declarative description of the UI inlined in JS
- Combines easy-of-use templates with power of JS
- Preprocessor translates to plain JS on the fly
VIRTUAL DOM
- Create lightweight description of the component UI
- Diff it with the old one
- Compute minimal set of changes to apply to the DOM
- Batch execute all updates

WORKFLOW
- Start with a mock
- Break the UI into a component hierarchy
- Build a static version in React
- Identify the minimal (but complete) representation of UI state
- Identify where your state should live
- Add inverse data flow

PERFORMANCE
- Use the production build (NODE_ENV=production)
- Profiling components with the Chrome performance tab (?react_perf)
- Avoid reconciliation (shouldComponentUpdate: false)
- Avoid mutating data (Object.assign(), Immutable.js)
RECONCILIATI O(n)
- Two elements of different types will produce different trees
- Developer can hint at which child elements may be stable across different renders with a 'key' prop
CONTEXT
const PropTypes = require('prop-types');
class Button extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<button style={{background: this.context.color}}>
{this.props.children}
</button>
);
}
}

color: PropTypes.string
};
class Message extends React.Component {

<Message text={message.text} />

return <div>{children}</div>;
}
}
MessageList.childContextTypes = {

WEB COMPONENTS
// Using Web Components in React
class HelloMessage extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div>Hello <x-search>{this.props.name}</x-search>!</div>;
}
}
// Using React in Web Components
const proto = Object.create(HTMLElement.prototype, {

ReactDOM.render(<a href={url}>{name}</a>, mountPoint);

HOC PATTERN
const CommentListWithSubscription = withSubscription(

(DataSource) => DataSource.getComments()
);
const BlogPostWithSubscription = withSubscription(
BlogPost,
(DataSource, props) => DataSource.getBlogPost(props.id)

// ...and returns another component...

// Notice that we pass through any additional props
return <WrappedComponent data={this.state.data} {...this.props} />;

// connect is a function that returns another function
const enhance = connect(commentListSelector, commentListActions);
// The returned function is an HOC, which returns a component that is connected
// to the Redux store
const ConnectedComment = enhance(CommentList);
INTEGRATION
- Integrating with DOM manipulation plugin (<div />)
- Integrating with other view libs (ReactDOM.render())
- Integrating with model layers (events, forceUpdate())
REACT FIBER
RENDER
- Reconciler (React)
- Re-render (ReactDOM, React native, Black magic)
UPDATE
import { createElement } from './createElement.js';
import { hasChanged } from './hasChanged.js';
import { updateProps } from './propHandler.js';
export function updateDOM($parent, newNode, oldNode, index = 0) {
if (!oldNode) {
$parent.appendChild(createElement(newNode));
} else if (!newNode) {
$parent.removeChild($parent.childNodes[index]);
} else if (hasChanged(newNode, oldNode)) {
$parent.replaceChild(createElement(newNode), $parent.childNodes[index]);
} else if (newNode.type) {
updateProps($parent.childNodes[index], newNode.props,oldNode.props );
const newLength = newNode.children.length;
const oldLength = oldNode.children.length;
for (let i = 0; i < newLength || i < oldLength; i++) {
updateDOM($parent.childNodes[index], newNode.children[i], oldNode.children[i], i);
}
}
}
CONCEPT
- Scheduling:
- requestAnimationFrame
- requestIdleCallback - Prioritizing:
module.exports = {
NoWork: 0,
SynchronousPriority: 1, // user input
TaskPriority: 2, // hover
AnimationPriority: 3, // dimensions, sizes
HighPriority: 4, // scrolling
LowPriority: 5, // component re-rendering after new data from store arrived
OffscreenPriority: 6 // not visible elements
};
ADVANTAGES
- Virtual DOM Elements + (Number, Array, String)
- Error boundaries
- Production (Facebook, Instragram)
