Learn Elm, Leaflet and Ngrx-store

If you've ever worked on a website for a business, there's a good chance you've included a map.

A Google Map embed is sufficient for showing a location, but doesn't leave you many customization options.

React Leaflet to the rescue!

In this course, Colby Fayock will guide you through a series of lessons and challenges that will build your map making skills as you build out a web app for a fictional restaurant.

You'll get practice with handling API keys and using React Hooks to implement a custom interactive map complete with metadata and additional overlays.

This course has built-in challenges that you are encouraged to pause and work through, but feel free to just watch.

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.

Build Maps with React Leaflet

In this collection, you'll learn the basics of creating a new map in your React application with React Leaflet. We'll walk through adding the map itself as well as adding markers with popups, different shapes, and increasingly complex features to your map!

Mapping with React Leaflet

As your Angular application grows, it becomes more difficult to manage application state.

NgRx can help with that!

In this course, we will learn how to convert an Angular application from using stateful services into using NgRx.

We will accomplish this by adding a new feature, including building a reducer and actions. We'll also touch on using selectors to query our state, managing collections with NgRx entity, async operations, and hiding implementation details with the facade pattern.

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Reactive State Management in Angular with ngrx

`elm-ui` is a language for layout and interface design. This is a novel iteration on declarative styling where you can use Elm types and functions to define your UI in a declarative way.

The novel part is that it does not require you to know CSS to be used. The API is very simple and can be learned quickly!

The approach taken by `elm-ui` is based on two big ideas: 
Getting the compiler to verify as much of the layout and styling as possible by defining them in Elm code
Enabling refactoring capabilities of Elm for UI code


Elm is a programming language that provides a clean functional syntax for writing HTML web applications. It promises zero runtime exceptions, fast rendering, time-travel debugging, and much more.

Declarative UIs without CSS with elm-ui

Elm is a beginner friendly functional reactive programming language for building web applications. It contains a small but powerful set of language constructs, such as, static types, algebraic data types, immutability, and pure functions. Elm provides and requires the use of a specific architecture that’s well suited for sensible application construction. Elm’s type system and architecture may feel constraining at first, but they ultimately provide the programmer with some neat benefits including comprehensible code, and a much improved refactoring experience.

In this course you will learn the basic fundamentals of Elm so that you can start building applications today.

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course. The concepts being taught on RxJS are still applicable.**

Angular has many built-in features for working closely with RxJS to help you build entirely reactive applications. This course will teach you how to use Angular with RxJS. We will learn how to use the ngrx/store library to manage state in a clean, reactive "Redux style."

This course assumes you've got a working knowledge of Angular and reactive programming with RxJS. If you don't, you might want to watch the following courses to get you up to speed!

Build Redux Style Applications with Angular, RxJS, and ngrx/store

Reducers are also often used for changing a single property inside of other reducers. This lesson shows how a type can enter the people reducer, but then the people reducer can use a different type to call the clock reducer and get a value back.

Use a Reducer to Change an Object's Property Inside an Array

Functions are an important building block in Elm. In this lesson we will review stateless functions, function composition, anonymous functions, Currying, and more.

Functions in Elm

Getting Elm installed. We will install the Elm CLI with npm. This gives us access to `elm-repl` and `elm-reactor`. The repl lets us play with expressions at the command-line, and reactor starts a development server which builds Elm files on-demand.

Install the Elm Platform command-line tools

This lesson shows a super simple, yet pleasant, look at the smallest Elm example. We will use the text function from the Html module to display text in a browser.

A record is a set of key-value pairs, similar to objects in Javascript. Record fields can be accessed through dot-notation, or special access functions. Records are fully type-checked and can be described by type aliases.

Store key-value pairs using Records in Elm

Functions are one of the core building blocks of Elm. In this lesson we learn how to define, call, pass parameters, receive parameters, partially apply functions, compose functions, and add correct type signatures. In this lesson we will show how to define functions with type signatures.

Write functions and Type Signatures in Elm

Elm provides a declarative way to produce DOM elements and react to DOM events, similar to HTML. Learn how to get Web content on the screen by writing functions that take in data and return Elm’s version of HTML.

Render HTML in the browser using the Html module in Elm

Sometimes a function is useful for many different types. Instead of writing a copy of that function for each different type, learn to use type variables and allow the same function to be reused.

Reuse Functions Through Type Variables in Elm

Elm is designed specifically for building applications, and it is built around a scalable and sensible application architecture. Learn the very basics of this architecture through updating application state by reacting to DOM events.

Create Apps Using the Elm Application Architecture

Elm comes with an index of publicly-usable open-source packages. Using packages from this index can substantially improve a developer’s experience. Learn how to find a package through the index, understand its API through type annotations and documentation, download it, and use it in a project.

Elm packages aren't working with embedded **Ellie**, so I've provided you with a link to the Ellie example [here](https://ellie-app.com/nNVB6RrbZa1/9).

Elm includes a data type called `Maybe` which is useful for working with values that may, or may not exist. This lesson shows a simple case where maybe types are encountered, and how to make them useful.

Using "Maybe" in Elm for values that may or may not exist

This lesson summarizes everything the course has covered and how Angular 2, RxJS, and ngrx/store work together to achive a reactive application.

Review of Angular 2, RxJS, and Reducers from ngrx/store

The scan operator in RxJS is the main key to managing values and states in your stream. Scan behaves just as a reduce function would, but scan is able to collect values from streams over time. This lesson covers using startWith to set the initial accumulator value then using scan to update the value of the clock from the clicks and interval.

Manage State in RxJS with StartWith and Scan

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers.

http

Understand the three basic parts of making HTTP requests in Elm: 1) Building the request, 2) Writing a JSON decoder, 3) Sending the request using the Elm runtime, and reacting to the results with messages.

HTTP requests are just pieces of data in Elm. When we want to send them, we hand them off to Elm's runtime, and it notifies us when the request is done. An important part of working with HTTP requests that fetch JSON is JSON decoding, the process by which we can turn untyped JSON data into Elm types that are safe to work with.
