Learn Angularfire, Flux-architecture and Pm2

As a React application grows, so does the needs for organization and patterns. How do components communicate? How do we manage state across the application? How is data shared between components? 

These are the questions that Flux was built to answer.

In this series, we will explore React Flux, using ES6 (ES2015), babel, and webpack to manage our developer workflow.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

React: Flux Architecture (ES6)

In this lesson we'll look at an overview of how Flux works, setup our application structure and tools, and create our first component.

Flux Architecture: Overview and Project Setup

In this lesson we'll create a very simple application dispatcher utilizing the open source flux dispatcher from Facebook.

Flux Architecture: Application Dispatcher

In this lesson we'll create our Flux application's store which will manage the state of our application.

Flux Architecture: Application Store

In this lesson we'll create our initial components using the architecture we've built so far.

Flux Architecture: Components/Views

In this lesson we'll shift the responsibility of managing the state of our application over to a higher-order component rather than having each component managing it's own state.

Flux Architecture: Higher-Order Components

In this lesson we'll organize our components by feature.

Flux Architecture: Project Organization

Using our established architecture we'll make short work of a few remaining tasks to meet our application requirements.

Flux Architecture: Component Wrap Up

In this lesson we'll simplify future development by reducing the logic contained in our application's store.

Flux Architecture: Dumb Stores

In this lesson we'll build our actions which will be sent to our dispatcher.

Flux Architecture: Application Actions

PM2 is a production process manager for Node.js applications with a built-in load balancer. It allows you to keep applications alive forever, to reload them without downtime and to facilitate common system admin tasks.

This video shows how to enable features in your pm2 config file that allow you to prevent runaway apps from bringing your server down. Setting max memory used, number of running processes allowed and maximum restart attempts are all covered.

Controlling runaway apps using pm2

In this lesson we'll introduce routing into our application using react-router 1.0

Flux Architecture: Routing with react-router 1.0

In this video, you will learn how to pass environment variables to your node.js app using the pm2 config file. This is useful for setting options inside your app such as production or development.

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Firebase provides a real-time syncing backend for your AngularJS applications in very few lines of code. In this lesson, you'll learn how to get started integrating it into your app.

Get Started with Firebase and AngularFire

In this video, learn how to automatically restart your node.js app using pm2 when the code for your app changes. You will also learn how to exclude files and directories from restarting your app (such as static assets, css, images, etc.).
