Learn Flux, Realm and Tachyons

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

You can easily add CSS libraries to Nuxt using `yarn` or `npm` to install them, then simply adding them to the `nuxt.config.js` so they're included in each page. Then all the classes will be available for use in all of your templates. This lesson walks your through installing a library then adding it to your `nuxt.config.js`.

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

Actions contain no functionality, but rather describe an event in our application.  In this lesson we will describe our Actions as they relate to our application.  These Actions will then be available for triggering in our Views and for execution in our Store.

React Flux: Actions

In Flux our Components are referred to as Views, but they are the same familiar Components associated with any React development.  In Flux, however, we have the benefit of the architecture to keep us from having to pass down through a long chain of children Components any functionality that may be embedded in our Stores.  In this Lesson we will wire up all of our Components in record time utilizing the architecture we've already established.

React Flux: Components/Views

Stores are where the real work in our application is done.  Dispatchers broadcast Actions to all Stores, and the Stores registered to listen for those Actions will perform any logic needed to update our Views.  In this lesson we will establish our first Store and register the Actions we wish to respond to.

React Flux: Stores

Our build process during this series will utilize both gulp and browserify.  In this lesson we will take a moment to setup our environment and all of the tooling required to begin developing our Flux Application.  We've kept the build process very simple so porting it to grunt should be a breeze, but this also serves as a simple primer for those who may not be familiar with gulp.

React Flux: Development Environment Setup

Organizing modules and components is a critical aspect of the development of any single-page web application (SPA). In this lesson we will look at refactoring the Flux React store into a more module structure.

React Flux: Project Organization

Flux has four major components: Stores, Dispatchers, Views, and Actions.  These components interact less like a typical MVC and more like an Event Bus.  In this lesson we will start by creating our Dispatcher which queues up our Actions as Promises and executes them as they are received.  We'll also create an AppDispatcher which, unlike the Dispatcher, is more specific to our application.

React Flux: Overview and Dispatchers

As your React Flux application grows, it is inevitable that you start to see functionality and code repeated. With React, you can easily keep things DRY by using mixins.

React Flux: Remove Duplicate Code with Mixins

With this lesson, we will bring it all together, using what we've learned in the series to fisnish out the React Flux architecture example.

The completed code for this series can be found [here on Github](https://github.com/eggheadio/egghead-react-flux-example).

React Flux: Wrapping Up

By default, React doesn't have built in routing. We will add routing to our application with the react-routing-component.

Quickly build and design new UI without writing css.

tachyons

Tachyons provides extensions (-ns, -m, and -l) to many of its classes to help you design for responsive layouts. This lesson walks you through designing for mobile first then adding a design for desktop.

Design for Mobile First with Tachyons

Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables. This project hosts the JavaScript versions of Realm. Currently we only support React Native (both iOS & Android) and Node.js (on MacOS and Linux) but we are considering adding support for Cordova/PhoneGap/Ionic as well.

realm

Realm is an ACID compliant object database. In this lesson, you will learn how to install Realm, define schemas for your data, perform CRUD operations and persist your data to the filesystem.

Use Realm Object Database with Node.js

Building responsive css layouts is critical in any modern website. Tachyons makes this easy by designing for mobile first then enabling you to switch directions and positions of elements when the site scales up to desktop sizes. This lesson walks you through using Tachyons with flexbox and leveraging the `flex-column` and `flex-row` classes to respond to mobile and desktop sizes.
