Using RxJS instead of Flux with React to organize data flow

Reposted from Qiita

For almost a year now, I've been using this "flux" architecture to organize my React applications and to work on other people's projects, and its popularity has grown quite a lot, to the point where it shows up on job listings for React and a lot of people get confused about what it is.

Why I'm tired of using and teaching flux

There are a billion explainations on the internet, so I'll skip explaining the parts. Instead, let's cut to the chase -- the main parts I hate about flux are the Dispatcher and the Store's own updating mechanism.

If you use a setup similar to the examples in facebook/flux, and you use flux.Dispatcher, you probably have this kind of flow:

Angular vs Backbone vs React vs Ember notes

Note: these are pretty rough notes I made for my team on the fly as I was reading through some pages. Some could be mildly inaccurate but hopefully not terribly so. I might resort to convenient fiction & simplification sometimes.

My top contenders, mostly based on popularity / community etc:

  • Angular
  • Backbone
  • React
  • Ember

Mostly about MVC (or derivatives, MVP / MVVM).

# Creating a lambda
l = lambda { |name| "Hi #{name}!" }

// === Arrays
var [a, b] = [1, 2];
console.log(a, b);
//=> 1 2
// Use from functions, only select from pattern
var foo = () => [1, 2, 3];

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions
