Learn Jasmine, React-router and Svelte

JavaScript community has been shaken recently by a release of Svelte 3 and for a good reason - it's a completely different approach than React or Vue. To quote the docs:

"[Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the browser, Svelte shifts that work into a compile step that happens when you build your app."

**The best part?** If you have 26 spare minutes you can learn the basics of Svelte 3 and start building your own apps with it!

Enjoy!



The magical disappearing UI framework

 - The web's JavaScript bloat crisis, solved. Svelte turns your templates into tiny, framework-less vanilla JavaScript.
 - Simple and familiar. Build apps out of composable, easy-to-write blocks using languages you already know.
 - Super fast, rock solid. Compile-time static analysis ensures the browser does no more work than it needs to.

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-router is the community favourite routing solution - it can handle all of your complex routing needs and in this lesson we’ll cover what’s needed to enable it’s use within Preact. https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router

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.

In this lesson Trevor looks at testing AngularJS controllers with scope inheritance with Jasmine and test spies.

Testing Controllers With Dependencies

Custom Jasmine Matchers are a great way to keep your AngularJS Unit Tests clean and tidy. We want to make expectations **readable** and express the intent of the test. Custom matchers help to accomplish this.

Custom Jasmine 1.3 Matchers

An introduction on unit testing a ReactJS component using Webpack and Jasmine. Learn how to use Webpack to package and import dependencies plus take advantage of the babel-loader to write a simple Jasmine spec using the latest ES6 syntax.

AngularJS provides helpers for convenient testing of your application. In this lesson you will learn how to test a basic controller with Jasmine and Angular.

In this lesson John shows some tricks for speeding up your test suite. He digs into some handy features of WebStorm, including the *ddescriber* plugin, as well as some alternative methods for Jasmine for selectively running your tests.

One of the beautiful things about dependency injection in your AngularJS apps is the ability to replace dependencies in your unit tests. In this lesson Trevor looks at how to configure Jasmine spies as injectable replacements for dependencies for testing.

Testing is a first class citizen in AngularJS. It is at its heart and soul. This lesson demonstrates using Karma to write a simple unit test for a Filter.

Unit Testing AngularJS

Unit testing a React component using Webpack and Jasmine, can involve slow and repetitive tasks when confirming that tests are passing when your code changes. For example, manually running commands instructing webpack to compile code plus refreshing the browser. This lesson demonstrates how to speed up your development time by automating these tasks using webpack-dev-server.

Reloading React component tests using webpack-dev-server

Using Jasmine, this lesson will look at testing an AngularJS service.

React Router is a complete routing library for React.

react-router

In this lesson, we’ll install React Router as a project dependency and add links that will update the url via pushState to avoid reloading our page on changes.

Add React Router to a Redux Application

In this lesson, we’ll wire up React Router to pass a url based filter parameter into our component and create a selector function to filter our state data between the store and our components by hooking into the `ownProps` parameter of `mapStateToProps`.

Filter State Data in Redux with a Selector Function and React Router

In this lesson we'll use the `match.path` value passed in by React Router to setup dynamic routes for Tabs. This will allow us to setup dynamic tabs which can be navigated to based upon the URL. With this pattern we can change the base path and our tab routes will automatically match and render correctly.

Create Nested Tab Routes with Dynamic Paths with React-Router

In this lesson we'll show how to setup the Prompt component from React Router. We'll prompt with a static message, as well as a dynamic method with the message as a function. Finally we'll show that you can return `true` from the message as a function to dynamically allow navigation.

Prevent Navigation with the React Router Prompt Component

In this lesson we'll show how the Link component `to` prop can receive an object. This allows  us to pass `state` to the route. With the nav state we destructure off of location we can determine if a user wants to open a modal or on a cold visit show an image embedded in the page.

Create a Modal Route with Link and Nav State in React Router

In this lesson we'll create a protected route just for logged in users. We'll combine a Route with a render prop and use a loggedIn prop to determine if the route should be allowed to be accessed. Finally we'll use nav state to preserve the location the user visited and redirect them back to the protected route once they login.

Create a ProtectedRoute Component in React Router

In this lesson we'll use the `matchPath` function exported by react-router to find active nested routes inside of a parent component. This technique can be used for comparing routes outside of a React component, or even inside of life cycle methods to do data loading.

Use matchPath to Match Nested Route Paths in Parent Routes with React-Router

In this lesson we'll explore how to test that an async form submission successfully happened using Jest. We'll also take advantage of react-testing-library to render our react components to a fake dom. We'll use `MemoryRouter` to mock what a browser would normally do in the event of a transition, and create a fake component route to confirm that the submission successfully redirected us to the url we wanted.

Test Successful Async Form Submissions with React Router

In this lesson you will learn how to attach Event Handlers to buttons and input fields. Event handlers normally follows the `on:[event]` format. If you are making use of two way binding you should use `bind:` instead, for example an input field could use bind:value.

Use Event Handlers in Svelte 2

Svelte is a new approach to building user interfaces. 

Instead of doing the vast majority of work at the runtime as other frameworks do, Svelte shifts that work into the _compile_ step which happens when you build your app. As such, you're shipping heavily optimized code to your users.

In this quick lesson we are going to learn how to create a brand new project with Svelte 3 from scratch.
