  1. @tsechingho 何澤清 ❖ 紅寶⽯石商⼈人 Rubiest ❖ 鐵道⼯工⼈人 Rails worker ❖

    ⿈黃碼科技 創辦⼈人 Goldenio founder ❖ ⽣生物資訊 Bioinformatics ❖ 資料視覺化 Infographics
  2. Javascript Modules ❖ Why modules? ❖ Definition & Dependency References

    ❖ Synchronous/Asynchronous Module Definition ❖ Nested dependencies ❖ CommonJS vs. RequireJS ❖ ECMAScript 6
  3. Factory function module // my_module.js var myModule = (function (my,

    $) { my.publicMethod = function () { $('.events').fadeIn(); }; return my; }(myModule || {}, jQuery)); window.myModule = myModule; // app.js myModule.publicMethod();
  4. CommonJS module // my_module.js var $ = require(‘jquery'); exports.myModule =

    function () { var my = {}; my.publicMethod = function () { $('.events').fadeIn(); }; return my; }; // app.js var myModule = require(‘my_module'); myModule.publicMethod();
  5. RequireJS module // my_module.js define(['jquery'] , function ($) { var

    my = {}; my.publicMethod = function () { $('.events').fadeIn(); }; return my; }); // app.js var myModule = require('my_module'); myModule.publicMethod();
  6. ECMAScript 6 module // my_module.js module myModule { import $

    from 'jquery'; export var my = { publicMethod: function () { $('.events').fadeIn(); } } } // app.js import myModule from ‘my_module'; myModule.publicMethod();
  7. NodeJS Ecosystem ❖ In My Opinion ❖ Feature: ❖ npm

    ❖ package.json ❖ webpack ❖ Past: ❖ bower ❖ grunt, gulp ❖ browserify
  8. Webpack ❖ Webpack Dev Server ❖ Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

    ❖ webpack.config.js & CLI ❖ Multiple entry points ❖ Loaders ❖ Plugins
  9. Module style of webpack require('../component.less'); var Foo = require('app/shared/foo'); var

    template = require('raw!./tmpl.mustache'); module.exports = Foo.extend({ template: template, ... });
  10. webpack.config.js http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html // client/webpack.rails.config.js const path = require('path'); module.exports =

    { context: __dirname, entry: ['./assets/javascripts/App', './scripts/rails_only'], output = { filename: 'client-bundle.js', // '[name].bundle.js' path: '../app/assets/javascripts/generated' }, externals: { jquery: 'var jQuery' }, resolve: { root: [path.join(__dirname, 'scripts'), path.join(__dirname, 'assets/javascripts'), path.join(__dirname, 'assets/stylesheets')], extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.coffee', '.scss', '.css', '.webpack.js', '.web.js', ‘config.js'] }, module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.coffee$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: 'coffee-loader' }, { test: /\.jsx$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: ‘babel-loader' }, { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: ‘babel-loader' }, { test: require.resolve('jquery'), loader: ‘expose?jQuery' }, { test: require.resolve('jquery'), loader: ‘expose?$' } ] } };
  11. Entry point script // App.jsx import $ from 'jquery'; import

    React from 'react'; import CommentBox from './components/CommentBox'; $(function onLoad() { function render() { if ($('#content').length > 0) { React.render( <div> <CommentBox url='comments.json' pollInterval={5000}/> <div className='container'> <a href='http://modernweb.tw/'> <h3 className='open-sans-light'> <div className='logo'/> Modern Web conf 2015 </h3> </a> </div> </div>, document.getElementById('content') ); } } render(); $(document).on('page:change', () => { render(); }); });
  12. CoffeeScript Style // components/cart_modal.js.coffee {div, h3, a} = React.DOM CartModal

    = React.createClass propTypes: lang: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired mixins: [ window.cartLifeCycle window.cartStorage window.cartManipulation ] render: -> React.DOM.div className: 'cart' React.DOM.h3 null, @state.i18n.cart_title React.DOM.div className: 'cart-body' window.CartForm url: '/cart' redirect: true items: @state.items total: @state.total actions: true lang: @props.lang React.DOM.a className: 'close-reveal-modal' 'x' window.CartModal = CartModal
  13. HTML layout // index.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Hello React</title>

    <script src="express-bundle.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="content"></div> </body> </html>
  14. Entry Point // App.jsx import $ from 'jquery'; import React

    from 'react'; import CommentBox from './components/CommentBox'; $(function onLoad() { function render() { if ($('#content').length > 0) { React.render( <div> <CommentBox url='comments.json' pollInterval={5000}/> <div className='container'> <a href='http://modernweb.tw/'> <h3 className='open-sans-light'> <div className='logo'/> Modern Web conf 2015 </h3> </a> </div> </div>, document.getElementById('content') ); } } render(); $(document).on('page:change', () => { render(); }); // turblolinks });
  15. Components // components/CommentBox.jsx import React from 'react'; import CommentForm from

    './CommentForm'; import CommentList from './CommentList'; import CommentStore from '../stores/CommentStore'; import FormStore from '../stores/FormStore'; import CommentActions from '../actions/CommentActions'; const CommentBox = React.createClass({ displayName: 'CommentBox', propTypes: { url: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired, pollInterval: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired }, getStoreState() { return { comments: CommentStore.getState(), form: FormStore.getState() }; }, getInitialState() { return this.getStoreState(); }, ... }); export default CommentBox;
  16. Components const CommentBox = React.createClass({ ... componentDidMount() { CommentStore.listen(this.onChange); FormStore.listen(this.onChange);

    CommentActions.fetchComments(this.props.url, true); setInterval(CommentActions.fetchComments, this.props.pollInterval, this.props.url, false); }, componentWillUnmount() { CommentStore.unlisten(this.onChange); FormStore.unlisten(this.onChange); }, onChange() { this.setState(this.getStoreState()); }, render() { return ( <div className="commentBox container"> <h1>Comments { this.state.form.ajaxSending ? 'SENDING AJAX REQUEST!' : '' }</h1> <CommentForm formData={this.state.form.comment} url={this.props.url} ajaxSending={this.state.form.ajaxSending} /> <CommentList comments={this.state.comments.comments} /> </div> ); } });
  17. Flux ❖ Bridge ❖ views components ❖ web apis ❖

    Implementations ❖ ALT.js client/ assets/ javascripts/ actions/ components/ common/ session/ stories/ dispatcher/ stores/ utils/ app.jsx routes.jsx
  18. Stores // stores/CommentStore.js import alt from '../FluxAlt'; import React from

    'react/addons'; import CommentActions from '../actions/CommentActions'; class CommentStore { constructor() { this.comments = []; this.errorMessage = null; this.bindListeners({ handleFetchComments: CommentActions.FETCH_COMMENTS, handleUpdateComments: CommentActions.UPDATE_COMMENTS, handleUpdateCommentsError: CommentActions.UPDATE_COMMENTS_ERROR, handleAddComment: CommentActions.ADD_COMMENT }); } handleFetchComments() { return false; } ... } export default alt.createStore(CommentStore, 'CommentStore');
  19. Actions // FluxAlt.js import Alt from 'alt'; const alt =

    new Alt(); export default alt; // actions/CommentActions.js import alt from '../FluxAlt'; import CommentsManager from '../utils/CommentsManager'; class CommentActions { fetchComments(url, displaySpinner) { this.dispatch(displaySpinner); CommentsManager.fetchComments(url) .then((comments) => this.actions.updateComments(comments), (errorMessage) => this.actions.updateCommentsError(errorMessage)); } ... } export default alt.createActions(CommentActions); // utils/CommentsManager.js import $ from 'jquery'; const CommentsManager = { fetchComments(url) { return $.ajax({ url: url, dataType: ‘json' }); }, ... }; export default CommentsManager;
  20. Assets Management ❖ download from source into vendor/assets ❖ use

    a ruby gem including a rails engine ❖ use bower and configure rails ❖ use the bower-rails gem ❖ use rails-assets.org http://www.codefellows.org/blog/5-ways-to-manage-front-end-assets-in-rails
  21. Rails Asset Pipeline ❖ Module Definition ❖ Factory function module

    ❖ CommonJS module ❖ RequireJS module ❖ Transpiler: coffeescript ❖ package bundler: sprockets
  22. The simple way ❖ sprockets ❖ react-rails ❖ require.js /

    browserify-rails ❖ coffee-react (cjsx)
  23. 3 common ways ❖ Use React inside of Rails with

    react-rails ❖ React/Flux front end app within Rails ❖ webpack or browserify ❖ Separated Rails API and React/Flux front end app http://www.openmindedinnovations.com/blogs/3-ways-to-integrate-ruby-on-rails-react-flux
  24. 1st Class JavaScript Citizen ❖ NPM Package Manager ❖ ES6

    (Harmony) ❖ Using Modules ❖ React.js ❖ JS in server side ❖ Gemified JavaScript ❖ CoffeeScript ❖ Globals on window ❖ React-rails
  25. Webpack in Rails app/ assets/ images/ javascripts/ generated/ client-bundle.js application.js

    stylesheets/ application.sass config/ webpack/ development.config.js production.config.js client/ assets/ images/ javascripts/ stylesheets/ node_modules/ scripts/ rails_only.jsx webpack_only.jsx index.html npm-shrinkwrap.json package.json server.js webpack.hot.config.js webpack.rails.config.js .gitignore
 .buildpacks package.json Procfile Procfile.dev
  26. Client Side Development ❖ foreman start as rails@3000, webpack-dev@4000 ❖

    adjust client/server.js for json api of webpack ❖ modify jsx and sass files under client/assets ❖ save files and watch realtime replacement @4000 ❖ create json api of rails and verify @3000 ❖ deploy with Sprockets
  27. Sprockets long lives ❖ Hybrid is good ❖ webpack for

    modularity ❖ sprockets for integration (replaced by webpack?) ❖ Assets caching/fingerprinting is easy for non-js views ❖ helpers are still helpful: asset_path, javascript_include_tag ❖ jquery_ujs is still powerful ❖ assets:webpack task works well for deploy
  28. Bad ways for Sprockets ❖ only app/views/layouts/application.html.slim ❖ the layout

    applies only compiled application.js file ❖ the compiled application.js bundles all files under 
 app/assets/javascripts/**/**.js.coffee ❖ dependencies describe in every files ❖ javascript_include_tag would be used in each views for vendor libraries only
  29. Good ways for Sprockets ❖ many app/views/layouts/xxx.html.slim ❖ each layout

    applies a compiled xxx.js file ❖ each compiled xxx.js file bundles folders under 
 app/assets/javascripts/xxx/**/**.js.coffee ❖ dependencies describe in xxx.js file ❖ javascript_include_tag would be used in each views for home brewed bundles
  30. Summary of React on Rails ❖ use require.js for legacy

    javascript codes ❖ use browserify-rails for legacy javascript codes ❖ use react-rails for dynamic components of views ❖ use ES6, Webpack and ReactJS for next feature
