HTTP data fetching steps and terms

[11:45 PM] someuser : how can I pull data from mysql database using react js?
[11:46 PM] BTM : @someuser short answer - "you can't"
[11:46 PM] connor : have react hit a proxied api that makes request using mysql
[11:46 PM] connor : using fetch or axios
[11:46 PM] someuser : the package has apollo in it
[11:46 PM] BTM : You need an API that will expose the data from sql as REST, graphql etc.
[11:46 PM] someuser : whats the apollo for?
[11:46 PM] someuser : im confused between graphql, apollo and redux.
[11:46 PM] acemarke : okay, let me explain
[11:47 PM] acemarke : first: no matter what UI framework you're using, here's the basic data flow

Discussion: Batching behavior in React-Redux v7

[10:22 PM] acemarke : @noj yo. so picking up the conversation from Twitter
[10:22 PM] acemarke : you were asking what exactly the use of unstable_batchedUpdates() does and how that comes into play
[10:22 PM] noj : hey, so i was wondering how the batching story works w/ react redux v7
[10:22 PM] noj : yes
[10:22 PM] noj : so a wrinkle is i use redux-saga
[10:22 PM] acemarke : and how that relates to things like dispatching in sagas
[10:22 PM] acemarke : yup
[10:22 PM] noj : mostly of the form
[10:23 PM] noj : i have a saga listenening for an action and doing some other actions as a side effect, or often making an rpc call and then some more actions
[10:23 PM] noj : i was wondering if a chain of side effects dispatches n actions

Reactiflux chat log: React-Redux, "stale props", and subscriptions

[9:13 PM] harry : @acemarke are people still going to need to add Connect components to their jsx to use a redux hook? i couldnt tell where that ended up
[9:13 PM] harry : didnt 100% grok the whole thing
[9:13 PM] acemarke : awright, lemme recap the issue
[9:13 PM] acemarke : :)
[9:13 PM] harry : sweet
[9:13 PM] acemarke : from the top
[9:13 PM] harry : i kinda got the gist of the zombie child thing too. not sure how a child actually subscribes before a parent, though
[9:14 PM] acemarke : (drat... I can already tell this is gonna be one of those chats I have to export to a gist because I'm about to write a lot)
[9:15 PM] acemarke : up through v4, there was a potential bug due to the timing of store subscriptions
[9:15 PM] acemarke : wrapper components subscribe in componentDidMount, which fires bottom-up

Reactiflux chat log: How does React store hooks on Fibers?

[12:14 AM] acreddy : are hooks value stored in fiber?

[10:40 AM] ghardin137 : not really

[10:50 AM] acemarke : @acreddy, @ghardin137 : yes they are, actually.

A "fiber" is a plain JS object that React uses to store bookkeeping information on each rendered component in the tree. The linked list of hooks is indeed stored as a field on the fiber for that component

Stuff I googled while updating React-Redux to run tests against React Native
  • Double-checking whether window exists in React Native:
react native window global
  • Finding the giant "useLayoutEffect warnings" thread:
react uselayouteffect ssr
