New Blog

Making a new blog thing to post my musing on React Native. Using my own home built static site builder.

I write the posts in gists! Then I add the ID to a list and it gets built using a small little nodejs script.

It's neat. Please stay posted for more.

This is a test of syntax highlighting

function code(){
  var that = this;
  //Something something
}

code();

Recently I ran into a problem in React Native.

I wanted to be able to have more granular control of my build besides React Native's __DEV__.

Our QA people need to have a few tools at their disposal to run the APP vs our live and test servers. I don't want to make them download the project on Github and run it. That would force them onto a mac for iOS builds. I don't want to ship the app with __DEV__ on. It would be quite complex to have them connect to some dev package server to run the app A third option was needed. There should be a __QA__ flag. This way I can release the APP in without __DEV__ but keep some QA features I want. The naive way would be to have something like a globals.js file that you include and edit the file for different releases. eg.

I don't like IDEs. I want to code in my editor and use the command line for everything else. I like the flow better and it feels faster to me.

I also like to have one command to do several things I want to do.

I don't want to open Xcode to create an archive, then open the archive window, then upload the archive to iTunes. It's slow and breaks my flow.

Also, in react native, it's trivial to build Android releases on the command line. I want to create and upload both iOS and android from the command line.

So after hours of searching the internet I found a flow I like for creating and uploading archives for iOS all from the command line

So recently in my work I have wanted to pre-render some of our pages and then keep the cached version in cloudwatch.

There are a few options in doing this.

You can set up an EC2 instance. Or use ECS.

However, what if you don't want to pay to have and EC2 instance running all the time. You have a budget!

Enter lambdas. AWS lambdas can be created to run based on events. Sadly you can't directly integrate with lambda from cloudwatch (except for lambda@edge but that is a different use case). This isn't too hard AWS even has a nice article on it for us. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/getting-started.html
