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

petehunt / React sortable
Created December 9, 2013 22:30
Here's an example of React + jQuery UI sortable. The key thing to note is that we have the render() method do absolutely nothing and use componentDidUpdate() + React.renderComponent() to proxy updates through to the children. This lets us manage the DOM manually but still be able to use all the React goodies you know and love.

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

  • Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

  • Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

1. Ich denke, also ist es nicht XGH.
In XGH wird nicht gedacht, es wird das erste gemacht, was in den Sinn kommt. Es gibt auch keine zweite Option, die erste ist schneller.
2. Es gibt 3 Wege ein Problem zu lösen: den richtigen Weg, den falschen Weg und den XGH Weg, welcher exakt wie der falsche ist, aber schneller.
