<title>Community Round-up #16</title>
|
||
<description><p>There have been many posts recently covering the <i>why</i> and <i>how</i> of React. This week&#39;s community round-up includes a collection of recent articles to help you get started with React, along with a few posts that explain some of the inner workings.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" name="react-in-a-nutshell"></a>React in a nutshell <a class="hash-link" href="#react-in-a-nutshell">#</a></h2>
|

<p>Got five minutes to pitch React to your coworkers? John Lynch (<a href="https://twitter.com/johnrlynch">@johnrlynch</a>) put together <a href="http://slid.es/johnlynch/reactjs">this excellent and refreshing slideshow</a>:</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" name="reacts-diff-algorithm"></a>React&#39;s diff algorithm <a class="hash-link" href="#reacts-diff-algorithm">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>React core team member Christopher Chedeau (<a href="https://twitter.com/vjeux">@vjeux</a>) explores the innards of React&#39;s tree diffing algorithm in this <a href="http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2013/diff/">extensive and well-illustrated post</a>. <figure><a href="http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2013/diff/"><img src="/react/img/blog/react-diff-tree.png" alt=""></a></figure></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>While we&#39;re talking about tree diffing: Matt Esch (<a href="https://twitter.com/MatthewEsch">@MatthewEsch</a>) created <a href="https://github.com/Matt-Esch/virtual-dom">this project</a>, which aims to implement the virtual DOM and a corresponding diff algorithm as separate modules.</p>

<p>James Padosley wrote a short post on the basics (and merits) of React: <a href="http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/what-is-react/">What is React?</a></p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>What I like most about React is that it doesn&#39;t impose heady design patterns and data-modelling abstractions on me. [...] Its opinions are so minimal and its abstractions so focused on the problem of the DOM, that you can merrily slap your design choices atop.</p>

<p>Taylor Lapeyre (<a href="https://twitter.com/taylorlapeyre">@taylorlapeyre</a>) wrote another nice <a href="http://words.taylorlapeyre.me/an-introduction-to-react">introduction to React</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>React expects you to do the work of getting and pushing data from the server. This makes it very easy to implement React as a front end solution, since it simply expects you to hand it data. React does all the other work.</p>

<p>Eric Florenzano (<a href="https://twitter.com/ericflo">@ericflo</a>) sheds some light on what makes React perfect for server rendering:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>[...] the ideal solution would fully render the markup on the server, deliver it to the client so that it can be shown to the user instantly. Then it would asynchronously load some Javascript that would attach to the rendered markup, and invisibly promote the page into a full app that can render its own markup. [...]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>What I&#39;ve discovered is that enough of the pieces have come together, that this futuristic-sounding web environment is actually surprisingly easy to do now with React.js.</p>

<title>Community Round-up #15</title>
|
||
<description><p>Interest in React seems to have surged ever since David Nolen (<a href="https://twitter.com/swannodette">@swannodette</a>)&#39;s introduction of <a href="https://github.com/swannodette/om">Om</a> in his post <a href="http://swannodette.github.io/2013/12/17/the-future-of-javascript-mvcs/">&quot;The Future of Javascript MVC Frameworks&quot;</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In this React Community Round-up, we are taking a closer look at React from a functional programming perspective.</p>
|
||
<h2><a class="anchor" name="react-another-level-of-indirection"></a>&quot;React: Another Level of Indirection&quot; <a class="hash-link" href="#react-another-level-of-indirection">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To start things off, Eric Normand (<a href="https://twitter.com/ericnormand">@ericnormand</a>) of <a href="http://lispcast.com">LispCast</a> makes the case for <a href="http://www.lispcast.com/react-another-level-of-indirection">React from a general functional programming standpoint</a> and explains how React&#39;s &quot;Virtual DOM provides the last piece of the Web Frontend Puzzle for ClojureScript&quot;.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>The Virtual DOM is an indirection mechanism that solves the difficult problem of DOM programming: how to deal with incremental changes to a stateful tree structure. By abstracting away the statefulness, the Virtual DOM turns the real DOM into an immediate mode GUI, which is perfect for functional programming.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" name="reagent-minimalistic-react-for-clojurescript"></a>Reagent: Minimalistic React for ClojureScript <a class="hash-link" href="#reagent-minimalistic-react-for-clojurescript">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Dan Holmsand (<a href="https://twitter.com/holmsand">@holmsand</a>) created <a href="http://holmsand.github.io/reagent/">Reagent</a>, a simplistic ClojureScript API to React.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>It allows you to define efficient React components using nothing but plain ClojureScript functions and data, that describe your UI using a Hiccup-like syntax.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The goal of Reagent is to make it possible to define arbitrarily complex UIs using just a couple of basic concepts, and to be fast enough by default that you rarely have to care about performance.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" name="functional-dom-programming"></a>Functional DOM programming <a class="hash-link" href="#functional-dom-programming">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>React&#39;s one-way data-binding naturally lends itself to a functional programming approach. Facebook&#39;s Pete Hunt (<a href="https://twitter.com/floydophone">@floydophone</a>) explores how one would go about <a href="https://medium.com/p/67d81637d43">writing web apps in a functional manner</a>. Spoiler alert:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>This is React. It’s not about templates, or data binding, or DOM manipulation. It’s about using functional programming with a virtual DOM representation to build ambitious, high-performance apps with JavaScript.</p>

|
||
<p><a href="https://github.com/ckirkendall">Creighton Kirkendall</a> created <a href="https://github.com/ckirkendall/kioo">Kioo</a>, which adds Enlive-style templating to React. HTML templates are separated from the application logic. Kioo comes with separate examples for both Om and Reagent.</p>

<title>Community Round-up #14</title>
|
||
<description><p>The theme of this first round-up of 2014 is integration. I&#39;ve tried to assemble a list of articles and projects that use React in various environments.</p>
|
||
<h2><a class="anchor" name="react-baseline"></a>React Baseline <a class="hash-link" href="#react-baseline">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>React is only one-piece of your web application stack. <a href="https://github.com/intabulas">Mark Lussier</a> shared his baseline stack that uses React along with Grunt, Browserify, Bower, Zepto, Director and Sass. This should help you get started using React for a new project.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>As I do more projects with ReactJS I started to extract a baseline to use when starting new projects. This is very opinionated and I change my opinion from time to time. This is by no ways perfect and in your opinion most likely wrong :).. which is why I love github</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I encourage you to fork, and make it right and submit a pull request!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>My current opinion is using tools like Grunt, Browserify, Bower and mutiple grunt plugins to get the job done. I also opted for Zepto over jQuery and the Flatiron Project&#39;s Director when I need a router. Oh and for the last little bit of tech that makes you mad, I am in the SASS camp when it comes to stylesheets</p>

<p>React is often compared with Angular. <a href="http://skulbuny.com/2013/10/31/react-vs-angular/">Pete Hunt</a> wrote an opinionated post on the subject.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>First of all I think it’s important to evaluate technologies on objective rather than subjective features. “It feels nicer” or “it’s cleaner” aren’t valid reasons: performance, modularity, community size and ease of testing / integration with other tools are.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I’ve done a lot of work benchmarking, building apps, and reading the code of Angular to try to come up with a reasonable comparison between their ways of doing things.</p>

<title>React Chrome Developer Tools</title>
|
||
<description><p>With the new year, we thought you&#39;d enjoy some new tools for debugging React code. Today we&#39;re releasing the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi">React Developer Tools</a>, an extension to the Chrome Developer Tools. <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi">Download them from the Chrome Web Store</a>.</p>
|
||
|

<figure><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Cey7BS6dE0M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></figure>
|
||
|
||
<p>You will get a new tab titled &quot;React&quot; in your Chrome DevTools. This tab shows you a list of the root React Components that are rendered on the page as well as the subcomponents that each root renders.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Selecting a Component in this tab allows you to view and edit its props and state in the panel on the right. In the breadcrumbs at the bottom, you can inspect the selected Component, the Component that created it, the Component that created that one, and so on.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you inspect a DOM element using the regular Elements tab, you can switch over to the React tab and the corresponding Component will be automatically selected. The Component will also be automatically selected if you have a breakpoint within its render phase. This allows you to step through the render tree and see how one Component affects another one.

|
||
|
||
<p>We hope these tools will help your team better understand your component hierarchy and track down bugs. We&#39;re very excited about this initial launch and appreciate any feedback you may have. As always, we also accept <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools">pull requests on GitHub</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" name="jsx-e4x-the-good-parts"></a>JSX: E4X The Good Parts <a class="hash-link" href="#jsx-e4x-the-good-parts">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>JSX is often compared to the now defunct E4X, <a href="http://blog.vjeux.com/">Vjeux</a> went over all the E4X features and explained how JSX is different and hopefully doesn&#39;t repeat the same mistakes.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>E4X (ECMAScript for XML) is a Javascript syntax extension and a runtime to manipulate XML. It was promoted by Mozilla but failed to become mainstream and is now deprecated. JSX was inspired by E4X. In this article, I&#39;m going to go over all the features of E4X and explain the design decisions behind JSX.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Historical Context</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>E4X has been created in 2002 by John Schneider. This was the golden age of XML where it was being used for everything: data, configuration files, code, interfaces (DOM) ... E4X was first implemented inside of Rhino, a Javascript implementation from Mozilla written in Java.</p>

<p><a href="http://davidandsuzi.com/">David Chang</a> working at <a href="http://www.hasoffers.com/">HasOffer</a> wanted to speed up his Angular app and replaced Angular primitives by React at different layers. When using React naively it is 67% faster, but when combining it with angular&#39;s transclusion it is 450% slower.</p>

<blockquote>
|

<p>Rendering this takes 803ms for 10 iterations, hovering around 35 and 55ms for each data reload (that&#39;s 67% faster). You&#39;ll notice that the first load takes a little longer than successive loads, and the second load REALLY struggles - here, it&#39;s 433ms, which is more than half of the total time!

<description><p>React got featured on the front-page of Hacker News thanks to the Om library. If you try it out for the first time, take a look at the <a href="/react/docs/getting-started.html">docs</a> and do not hesitate to ask questions on the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/reactjs">Google Group</a>, <a href="irc://chat.freenode.net/reactjs">IRC</a> or <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/reactjs">Stack Overflow</a>.

<h2><a class="anchor" name="the-future-of-javascript-mvc"></a>The Future of Javascript MVC <a class="hash-link" href="#the-future-of-javascript-mvc">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p><a href="http://swannodette.github.io/">David Nolen</a> announced Om, a thin wrapper on-top of React in ClojureScript. It stands out by only using immutable data structures. This unlocks the ability to write a very efficient <a href="http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/component-specs.html#updating-shouldcomponentupdate">shouldComponentUpdate</a> and get huge performance improvements on some tasks.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>We&#39;ve known this for some time over here in the ClojureScript corner of the world - all of our collections are immutable and modeled directly on the original Clojure versions written in Java. Modern JavaScript engines have now been tuned to the point that it&#39;s no longer uncommon to see collection performance within 2.5X of the Java Virtual Machine.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Wait, wait, wait. What does the performance of persistent data structures have to do with the future of JavaScript MVCs?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A whole lot.

<h2><a class="anchor" name="writing-good-react-components"></a>Writing Good React Components <a class="hash-link" href="#writing-good-react-components">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p><a href="http://blog.whn.se/">William Högman Rudenmalm</a> wrote an article on how to write good React components. This is full of good advice.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>The idea of dividing software into smaller parts or components is hardly new - It is the essance of good software. The same principles that apply to software in general apply to building React components. That doesn’t mean that writing good React components is just about applying general rules.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The web offers a unique set of challenges, which React offers interesting solutions to. First and foremost among these solutions is the what is called the Mock DOM. Rather than having user code interface with the DOM in a direct fashion, as is the case with most DOM manipulation libraries.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You build a model of how you want the DOM end up like. React then inserts this model into the DOM. This is very useful for updates because React simply compares the model or mock DOM against the actual DOM, and then only updates based on the difference between the two states.</p>

<title>React v0.8</title>
|
||
<description><p>I&#39;ll start by answering the obvious question:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>What happened to 0.6 and 0.7?</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<p>It&#39;s become increasingly obvious since our launch in May that people want to use React on the server. With the server-side rendering abilities, that&#39;s a perfect fit. However using the same copy of React on the server and then packaging it up for the client is surprisingly a harder problem. People have been using our <code>react-tools</code> module which includes React, but when browserifying that ends up packaging all of <code>esprima</code> and some other dependencies that aren&#39;t needed on the client. So we wanted to make this whole experience better.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We talked with <a href="https://github.com/jeffbski">Jeff Barczewski</a> who was the owner of the <code>react</code> module on npm. He was kind enough to transition ownership to us and release his package under a different name: <code>autoflow</code>. I encourage you to <a href="https://github.com/jeffbski/autoflow">check it out</a> if you&#39;re writing a lot of asynchronous code. In order to not break all of <code>react</code>&#39;s current users of 0.7.x, we decided to bump our version to 0.8 and skip the issue entirely. We&#39;re also including a warning if you use our <code>react</code> module like you would use the previous package.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In order to make the transition to 0.8 for our current users as painless as possible, we decided to make 0.8 primarily a bug fix release on top of 0.5. No public APIs were changed (even if they were already marked as deprecated). We haven&#39;t added any of the new features we have in master, though we did take the opportunity to pull in some improvements to internals.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We hope that by releasing <code>react</code> on npm, we will enable a new set of uses that have been otherwise difficult. All feedback is welcome!</p>

<title>React v0.5.2, v0.4.2</title>
|
||
<description><p>Today we&#39;re releasing an update to address a potential XSS vulnerability that can arise when using user data as a <code>key</code>. Typically &quot;safe&quot; data is used for a <code>key</code>, for example, an id from your database, or a unique hash. However there are cases where it may be reasonable to use user generated content. A carefully crafted piece of content could result in arbitrary JS execution. While we make a very concerted effort to ensure all text is escaped before inserting it into the DOM, we missed one case. Immediately following the discovery of this vulnerability, we performed an audit to ensure we this was the only such vulnerability.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This only affects v0.5.x and v0.4.x. Versions in the 0.3.x family are unaffected.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Updated versions are available for immediate download via npm, bower, and on our <a href="http://facebook.github.io/react/downloads.html">download page</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We take security very seriously at Facebook. For most of our products, users don&#39;t need to know that a security issue has been fixed. But with libraries like React, we need to make sure developers using React have access to fixes to keep their users safe.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>While we&#39;ve encouraged responsible disclosure as part of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/">Facebook&#39;s whitehat bounty program</a> since we launched, we don&#39;t have a good process for notifying our users. Hopefully we don&#39;t need to use it, but moving forward we&#39;ll set up a little bit more process to ensure the safety of our users. Ember.js has <a href="http://emberjs.com/security/">an excellent policy</a> which we may use as our model.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can learn more about the vulnerability discussed here: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/reactjs/OIqxlB2aGfU">CVE-2013-7035</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://blog.pixelingene.com/">Pavan Podila</a> wrote an in-depth introduction to React on TutsPlus. This is definitively worth reading.</p>

<blockquote>
|

<p>Within a component-tree, data should always flow down. A parent-component should set the props of a child-component to pass any data from the parent to the child. This is termed as the Owner-Owned pair. On the other hand user-events (mouse, keyboard, touches) will always bubble up from the child all the way to the root component, unless handled in between.

<p>During the talk a wanted to highlight that React is not about implementing a Model, but a way to construct visible components with some state. React is simple. It is super simple, you can learn it in 1h. On the other hand what is model? Which functionality it should provide? React does one thing and does it the best (for me)!</p>

Is this some sort of template language? Specifically no. This might have been the first big stumbling block. What looks like to be a templating language is actually an in-line DSL that gets transpiled directly into JavaScript by the JSX transpiler.</p>
|

|

<p>Creating elements in memory is quick -- copying those elements into the DOM is where the slowness occurs. This is due to a variety of issues, most namely reflow/paint. Changing the items in the DOM causes the browser to re-paint the display, apply styles, etc. We want to keep those operations to an absolute minimum, especially if we&#39;re dealing with something that needs to update the DOM frequently.</p>

<title>Community Round-up #10</title>
|
||
<description><p>This is the 10th round-up already and React has come quite far since it was open sourced. Almost all new web projects at Khan Academy, Facebook, and Instagram are being developed using React. React has been deployed in a variety of contexts: a Chrome extension, a Windows 8 application, mobile websites, and desktop websites supporting Internet Explorer 8! Language-wise, React is not only being used within JavaScript but also CoffeeScript and ClojureScript.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The best part is that no drastic changes have been required to support all those use cases. Most of the efforts were targeted at polishing edge cases, performance improvements, and documentation.</p>
|
||
<h2><a class="anchor" name="khan-academy---officially-moving-to-react"></a>Khan Academy - Officially moving to React <a class="hash-link" href="#khan-academy---officially-moving-to-react">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p><a href="http://joelburget.com/">Joel Burget</a> announced at Hack Reactor that new front-end code at Khan Academy should be written in React!</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>How did we get the rest of the team to adopt React? Using interns as an attack vector! Most full-time devs had already been working on their existing projects for a while and weren&#39;t looking to try something new at the time, but our class of summer interns was just arriving. For whatever reason, a lot of them decided to try React for their projects. Then mentors became exposed through code reviews or otherwise touching the new code. In this way React knowledge diffused to almost the whole team over the summer.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Since the first React checkin on June 5, we&#39;ve somehow managed to accumulate 23500 lines of jsx (React-flavored js) code. Which is terrifying in a way - that&#39;s a lot of code - but also really exciting that it was picked up so quickly.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We held three meetings about how we should proceed with React. At the first two we decided to continue experimenting with React and deferred a final decision on whether to adopt it. At the third we adopted the policy that new code should be written in React.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I&#39;m excited that we were able to start nudging code quality forward. However, we still have a lot of work to do! One of the selling points of this transition is adopting a uniform frontend style. We&#39;re trying to upgrade all the code from (really old) pure jQuery and (regular old) Backbone views / Handlebars to shiny React. At the moment all we&#39;ve done is introduce more fragmentation. We won&#39;t be gratuitously updating working code (if it ain&#39;t broke, don&#39;t fix it), but are seeking out parts of the codebase where we can shoot two birds with one stone by rewriting in React while fixing bugs or adding functionality.</p>

<p>Webkit has a <a href="https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/tree/master/PerformanceTests/DoYouEvenBench">TodoMVC Benchmark</a> that compares different frameworks. They recently included React and here are the results (average of 10 runs in Chrome 30):</p>

</ul>

<p><a href="http://www.petehunt.net/react/tastejs/benchmark.html">Try it yourself!</a></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Please don&#39;t take those numbers too seriously, they only reflect one very specific use case and are testing code that wasn&#39;t written with performance in mind.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Even though React scores as one of the fastest frameworks in the benchmark, the React code is simple and idiomatic. The only performance tweak used is the following function:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="javascript language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="cm">/**</span>
|
||
<span class="cm"> * This is a completely optional performance enhancement that you can implement</span>
|
||
<span class="cm"> * on any React component. If you were to delete this method the app would still</span>
|
||
<span class="cm"> * work correctly (and still be very performant!), we just use it as an example</span>
|
||
<span class="cm"> * of how little code it takes to get an order of magnitude performance improvement.</span>
|
||
<span class="cm"> */</span>

<span class="nx">nextProps</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">todo</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">id</span> <span class="o">!==</span> <span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">props</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">todo</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">id</span> <span class="o">||</span>
|
||
<span class="nx">nextProps</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">todo</span> <span class="o">!==</span> <span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">props</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">todo</span> <span class="o">||</span>
|

<span class="nx">nextProps</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">editing</span> <span class="o">!==</span> <span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">props</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">editing</span> <span class="o">||</span>

<span class="p">);</span>
|

<span class="p">},</span>
|
||
</code></pre></div>
|
||
<p>By default, React &quot;re-renders&quot; all the components when anything changes. This is usually fast enough that you don&#39;t need to care. However, you can provide a function that can tell whether there will be any change based on the previous and next states and props. If it is faster than re-rendering the component, then you get a performance improvement.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The fact that you can control when components are rendered is a very important characteristic of React as it gives you control over its performance. We are going to talk more about performance in the future, stay tuned.</p>

<p><a href="http://trib.tv/">Andrew Betts</a>, director of the <a href="http://labs.ft.com/">Financial Times Labs</a>, posted an article comparing <a href="https://github.com/ftlabs/fruitmachine">FruitMachine</a> and React.</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>Eerily similar, no? Maybe Facebook was inspired by Fruit Machine (after all, we got there first), but more likely, it just shows that this is a pretty decent way to solve the problem, and great minds think alike. We&#39;re graduating to a third phase in the evolution of web best practice - from intermingling of markup, style and behaviour, through a phase in which those concerns became ever more separated and encapsulated, and finally to a model where we can do that separation at a component level. Developments like Web Components show the direction the web community is moving, and frameworks like React and Fruit Machine are in fact not a lot more than polyfills for that promised behaviour to come.</p>

<p>Even though we weren&#39;t inspired by FruitMachine (React has been used in production since before FruitMachine was open sourced), it&#39;s great to see similar technologies emerging and becoming popular.</p>
