At its core, React is just JavaScript. It doesn't need a build system or fancy syntax. And with just two functions, it lets you create something amazing...

So you’ve heard all the fuss about React – apparently it’s the best thing since Visual Basic. But you’ve spent a couple hours investigating, only to find so many buzzwords that it just feels overwhelming. NPM and Redux and Babel and react-router and Webpack and all I want is somebody to just tell me how to use React already!

Luckily for you, that’s exactly what this guide will do! Don’t believe me? That’s OK – you will after you’ve built your first React app in only 2 minutes. Without downloading or installing anything. Just by following this exercise…react redux npm

Migrating from npm should be a fairly easy process for most users. Yarn can consume the same package.json format as npm, and can install any package from the npm registry.npm

A few years ago, I stumbled on a video of somebody making a responsive, real-time web app using something called Meteor.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend giving it a watch. It was pretty amazing and exciting at the time, and sparked a new interest in learning this framework.

At the time I was a PHP developer. I used jQuery in my projects, but I was never serious about JavaScript development. That video changed that and I decided I wanted to branch out and learn JavaScript as well.

So I got started by reading Discover Meteor and building a few apps for fun.

Then Meteor started changing. It opened up to using React and Angular as the front end, rather than the default Blaze template engine.

It also is on its way to becoming a part of the npm ecosystem, and has adopted support of npm packages.

Most recently, the team also switched to using the import system prevalent in ES2015 applications.php es2015 meteor react javascript npm

npm install -g nodemon

Features

• Automatic restarting of application.
• Detects default file extension to monitor.
• Default support for node & coffeescript, but easy to run any executable (such as python, make, etc).
• Ignoring specific files or directories.

Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Through leveraging generators Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware within core, and provides an elegant suite of methods that make writing servers fast and enjoyable.

Koa works out of the box with recent versions of Node. To use Koa with 0.11.x you must use the --harmony or --harmony-generators flag.

$ npm install koa
$ node app.js

Keep your router in sync with application state ✨

Formerly known as redux-simple-router

You're a smart person. You use Redux to manage your application state. You use React Router to do routing. All is good.

But the two libraries don't coordinate. You want to do time travel with your application state, but React Router doesn't navigate between pages when you replay actions. It controls an important part of application state: the URL.

This library helps you keep that bit of state in sync with your Redux store. We keep a copy of the current location hidden in state. When you rewind your application state with a tool like Redux DevTools, that state change is propagated to React Router so it can adjust the component tree accordingly. You can jump around in state, rewinding, replaying, and resetting as much as you'd like, and this library will ensure the two stay in sync at all times.

This library is not necessary for using Redux together with React Router. You can use the two together just fine without any additional libraries. It is useful if you care about recording, persisting, and replaying user actions, using time travel. If you don't care about these features, just use Redux and React Router directly.react redux

Frictionless browser package management

• jspm is a package manager for the SystemJS universal module loader, built on top of the dynamic ES6 module loader
• Load any module format (ES6, AMD, CommonJS and globals) directly from any registry such as npm and GitHub with flat versioned dependency management. Any custom registry endpoints can be created through the Registry API.
• For development, load modules as separate files with ES6 and plugins compiled in the browser.
• For production (or development too), optimize into a bundle, layered bundles or a self-executing bundle with a single command.

ESLint is an open source JavaScript linting utility originally created by Nicholas C. Zakas in June 2013. Code linting is a type of static analysis that is frequently used to find problematic patterns or code that doesn’t adhere to certain style guidelines. There are code linters for most programming languages, and compilers sometimes incorporate linting into the compilation process.

JavaScript, being a dynamic and loosely-typed language, is especially prone to developer error. Without the benefit of a compilation process, JavaScript code is typically executed in order to find syntax or other errors. Linting tools like ESLint allow developers to discover problems with their JavaScript code without executing it.

The primary reason ESLint was created was to allow developers to create their own linting rules. ESLint is designed to have all rules completely pluggable. The default rules are written just like any plugin rules would be. They can all follow the same pattern, both for the rules themselves as well as tests. While ESLint will ship with some built-in rules to make it useful from the start, you’ll be able to dynamically load rules at any point in time.

ESLint is written using Node.js to provide a fast runtime environment and easy installation via npm.test javascript

Now you can develop and design React UI components without running your app.

You just load your UI components into the React Storybook and start developing them.

This functionality allows you to develop UI components rapidly without worrying about the app. It will improve your team’s collaboration and feedback loop.

Features

• Isolated environment for your components (with the use of various iframe tactics).
• Hot module reloading (even for functional stateless components).
• Works with any app (whether it's Redux, Relay or Meteor).
• Support for CSS (whether it's plain old CSS, CSS modules or something fancy).
• Clean and fast user interface.
• Runs inside your project (so, it uses your app's NPM modules and babel configurations out of the box).
• Serves static files (if you host static files inside your app).
• Deploy the whole storybook as a static app.
• Extendable as necessary (support for custom webpack loaders and plugins).-

meteor react redux

The Apollo client and server tools are published on NPM, which makes them available to all JavaScript applications, including those written with Meteor 1.3 and above. When using Meteor with Apollo, there are a few things to keep in mind to have a smooth integration between the client and server.

You can see all of these in action in the Apollo Meteor starter kit.meteor

Today we’re excited to announce Meteor 1.3, the latest release of the Meteor JavaScript application platform. The focus of this major release is to help teams with production applications manage, scale, and test their Meteor codebases, and to continue our work to align the Meteor platform with the latest innovations in JavaScript. Run meteor update to upgrade existing apps or visit the Meteor install page if you’re just getting started.

Meteor 1.3’s focus is based on listening to our production customers, whose experiences building and running Meteor apps now span multiple years and major releases. Better support for application testing was near the top of everyone’s lists, and that’s why Meteor 1.3 now includes core support for both unit and integration tests. Unit testing is more effective when your code is divided into clear units, and that’s one reason why Meteor 1.3 supports a standards-compliant module system that integrates seamlessly with Node and npm. For mobile developers, Meteor 1.3 provides a more robust hot code push system for Cordova apps. Meteor’s Livedata system now supports tunable queries to help scale large apps. We’ve improved our Angular and React integrations, making Meteor one of the easiest ways to build full-stack applications using these popular view layers.es2015 meteor react test
