Learn Mongodb, Recompose and Tachyons

MongoDB has a quite powerful aggregation framework that allows you to write data processing pipelines. Documents in the MongoDB collection go through a series of stages or a pipeline that transforms them into an aggregated result. In this short video series, you will learn how to write aggregations in MongoDB.

MongoDB Aggregation Framework

***Note: Active maintenance for Recompose has been discontinued since the announcement for React hooks. Your existing code using Recompose will still work. Recompose is not compatible with RxJS version 6 and beyond. You can read more about the decision [here.](https://github.com/acdlite/recompose/issues/756#issuecomment-438674573)*** 


Loading data and handling events almost always introduces layers of complexity into React apps. Recompose and RxJS solve your async problems by using Streams to output components. This course walks you through combining the powers of React and RxJS to stream data into JSX with streaming patterns and pure React components.

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 React Components from Streams with RxJS and Recompose

In this course, you will learn to use many of the most powerful and convenient higher-order components within Recompose by coding several real-world examples. Using recompose looks very different from “vanilla” React; so you will also get comfortable with the look and feel of a “recomposed” component. The best part is no more need for class components! You’ll learn how to use Recompose to both modify components and also create your own higher-order components.

Higher Order Components with Functional Patterns Using Recompose

When you declare your Component and Props in JSX, you can pass those props along to your [RxJS](/q/rxjs) stream. This is typically done using `switchMap` or `combineLatest` where you can grab from the props from your `props$` stream and push them into another stream.

Aggregation in MongoDB is really powerful and allows you to create solid pipelines to extract and transform data. This is an introductory video that aims to demonstrate the basics of aggregation — we will see how to create some basic pipeline to extract data using `$match` and manipulate the output using `$project` stages.

The aggregation stages/operators covered in this video are:

* [`$match`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/match/index.html)
* [`$project`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/project/index.html)
* [`$concat`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/concat/)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)


Find and Manipulate Data using Aggregation in MongoDB

In our last lesson, we learnt the basics of MongoDB aggregation and saw how we can [find and manipulate data](https://egghead.io/lessons/mongodb-find-and-manipulate-data-using-aggregation-in-mongodb). In this continuation, we will see how we can sort, skip and limit records during our aggregation stages.

The aggregation stages/operators covered in this video are:

* [`$sort`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)
* [`$skip`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/skip/index.html)
* [`$limit`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/limit/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs.](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)

Sort, Skip and Limit Records in MongoDB Aggregation

Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model your application data. It includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.

One of the great things about NoSQL databases is that you do not have to decide on your data schema while developing. As you get closer to production though, you'll often want to more clearly define the shape of the data you are working with.

Enforce Schemas in MongoDB using Mongoose Models

Unlike the relational databases, MongoDB doesn't allow you to join collections using the simple `find` queries, but you can write the join queries using the aggregation framework. In this lesson, we learn how to join two collections to get the data in the format we want.

The aggregation operators that we cover in this video are:

- [`$lookup`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/lookup/index.html)
- [`$project`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/project/index.html)
- [`$arrayElemAt`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/arrayElemAt/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs.](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)

Write Joins in MongoDB

[In our last lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/mongodb-group-by-and-sum-in-mongodb?pl=mongodb-aggregation-framework-3e5d), we saw how we can use `$group` operator to simulate `GROUP BY` operations that you might be aware from SQL. A minor gimmick with `$group` is that it only works with the scalar field values and not arrays. There might be times when you would want to group by some array fields; in this lesson, we learn how to do that using `$unwind` operator

Here is the list of operators that we cover in this lesson:

- [$unwind](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/unwind/index.html)
- [$group](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/group/index.html)
- [$sort](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)
- [$limit](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/limit/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/).


Perform Group Operations on Array Fields in MongoDB

In this lesson, we learn how to group documents in a collection using `$group` operator similar to `GROUP BY` in SQL. We also look at `$sum` operator and see how we can use it to count the number of documents as well as get sum of some field in our grouped results.

Here is the list of operators that we cover in this lesson:

* [`$group`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/group/index.html)
* [`$sum`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sum/index.html)
* [`$sort`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/).

Learn the proper patterns for writing a higher order component from scratch.

Write a Higher Order Component from Scratch

Learn how to use the 'mapProps' higher-order component to modify an existing component’s API (its props). 'mapProps' takes incoming props and changes them however you’d like; for example, filtering the props by a field.

Transform Props by using the Recompose mapProps Higher Order Component

Learn how to use the ‘withProps’ higher order component to pre-fill a prop, unable to be overridden.

Lock Props by using the Recompose withProps Higher Order Component

Learn how to use the 'lifecycle' higher-order component to conveniently use hooks without using a class component.

Add Lifecycle Hooks to a Functional Stateless Component using Recompose

Learn how to use the ‘flattenProp’ higher order component to take a single object prop and spread each of its fields out as a prop.

Flatten a Prop using Recompose

Learn how to use the ‘branch’ and ‘renderComponent’ higher-order components to show errors or messaging when your component is in a non-optimal state. Avoid putting extraneous logic to show errors or messaging into your core component by organizing your non-optimal states into custom higher-order components.

Show Error Messages based on Non-Optimal States with Recompose

Learn how to use the ‘branch’ and ‘renderNothing’ higher-order
components to render nothing when a certain prop condition is
met. Sometimes you only want to render a component when valid
props exist or are in a certain condition; ‘renderNothing’ is
an easy way to completely remove the component when you don’t
need to show it.
