Learn Flux-architecture, P5 and Xstream

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

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream.

cycle

This lesson is the first in an introduction to Cycle.js. We will see how to build from scratch a toy version of Cycle.js. See how to use RxJS to create simple web apps, and how to separate logic from effects.

Separate Logic from Effects in Cycle.js

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

Flux Architecture: Routing with react-router 1.0

p5.js is a JavaScript library that starts with the original goal of Processing, to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners, and reinterprets this for today's web.

In this lesson we look at using color and the basic drawing methods of p5js, and how they can be combined to create a simple graphic on the canvas.
