Folder Structure

Please note

While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.

Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

ReactJS Component Cheatsheet

To create a ReactComponent:

ReactComponent React.createClass(object proto)

Basic JSX example:

Design workflow Q&A

James Kirkpatrick sent me some questions about designing in the browser, and design workflows in general to help with his dissertation at the University of Ulster. Here are my responses.

Question: Do you feel that designing in browser is fast becoming the standard in web design, or do you feel that there will still be a few die-hard designers that will refuse to adopt the idea?

I think it is definitely on its way to becoming the standard, especially with the improvements in the pipeline in terms of what’s possible within developer tools (source-map support for Sass, CoffeeScript and so forth). It’s not catching on as quickly as I feel it should be though (given the benefits I feel it has), and honestly I feel like that’s simply because it’s hard for people to drop the tools they know and love cold-turkey. It can take a while to adjust to new tools and workflows, and to be able to afford the time in-between where you just have to accept that you won’t be as productive as usual is

High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.
