Learn React-router, Reason and Rust

Rust is a modern language that is close to the metal. It's got the performance of C, but with a more friendly syntax and community.

It's also memory safe, and ensures your applications are bug free by catching errors at compile time instead of runtime.

These features make Rust a great choice for developing code for embedded systems, web servers, and CLI apps. You can even compile Rust into WebAssembly in order to run it in-browser!

But as the saying goes, "before you learn to run, you must learn to walk".

In this course, you will write your first Rust application.

Starting from “Hello World” you’ll quickly move on to learning about Rust’s types, configuration files, and the `cargo` package manager along with classics like functions, loops, and handling user input.

More Rust-specific concepts like macros and pattern matching will also be introduced.

[Rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) is a set of exercises that serves as a great introduction to the Rust language. It covers many concepts from the [Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) by asking you to work through sets of exercises.

This collection walks you through Rustlings in a way that explains what's going on in each exercise. We cover everything from basic types to generics and threading.

Learning Rust by Working Through the Rustlings Exercises

This collection contains videos that explore the basic types in Rust, including **Fixed size Integer**, **Pointer sized Integer**, **Boolean**, **Strings**, **Characters**, **Arrays**, **Tuples** and more.

If you're just starting out learning Rust and [wrote your first program](https://egghead.io/courses/write-your-first-program-with-the-rust-language), this collection is the right place to get more familiar with the language!

Basic Types in Rust

Many languages work on a compilation story to WebAssembly, but Rust is already ready for primetime. Why?


- Rust is a stable language and great replacement for C and C++. 
- Due to the reference and borrowing concept, Rust doesn’t need a Garbage Collector and can be used for a production-ready WebAssembly project. 
- The Rust/Wasm team has built some sophisticated tooling for straightforward interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

This course gives you the tools to compile to WebAssembly with Rust. Over 11 lessons, we’ll set up a project and explore various paths of communication and interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

Using WebAssembly with Rust

This course foremost will teach you about the syntax and semantics of the programming language Reason or also referred to as ReasonML. In addition, the course touches on best practices recommended by the official documentation. Each lesson is focusing on a specific feature, concept or best practice and can be watched independently. Still, the whole course is carefully crafted, and each lesson builds up on the previous ones.

Simple, fast & type safe code that leverages the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems.

In this course, Chris takes a README-driven approach to build out a Rust CLI that supports content authoring for a digital garden.

Specifically, you'll work through the first command for the CLI, writing files. You start by initializing a new Cargo binary crate through creating the `write` command that allows you to create files (and their contents) to the folder that you set. 

Step by step you'll learn about:
- Handling user input
- Error handling
- Rust Move semantics
- Rust Copy semantics
- Integration testing

...and more!

React Router v4 takes an entirely new approach to routing and handling URLs in your React applications. It fully embraces the concept of declarative programming and a component based development process. In practice, this turns out to be very nice and gives you a routing solution that is less configuration heavy than many previous solutions.

In this course, you will learn about the basics of React Router v4 to help you get started. We will look at the core components that React Router supplies and how they interact together to create a robust routing solution for your React applications.

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.

Add routing to React apps using React Router v4

React Router is the defacto router for any React application and it allows us to extract the state of our application from the browser's address bar.

In this course we'll explore the core features of React Router in common examples.  From routing with individual components to more complex routing consisting of multiple components, query-strings, route parameters,  and redirects.  

Getting Started with React Router v3

Node.js is a well established server runtime that many companies are using worldwide. Express.js is a server framework for Node.js used by over 5 million projects. ReasonML is a type-safe functional language that compiles to Javascript.

This playlist collects the basic pieces of information a programmer needs to get started building servers in ReasonML on Node.js and Express.js. Follow along to learn how to get the speed of Node, combined with the added type-safety of Reason.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

ReasonML Applications for the React Developer

Routes are some times better served as a modal. If you have a modal (like a login modal) that needs to be routeable and appear on all pages you may need to use query params. Will explore how to render a route all the time and use query params to control when it's content renders

Throughout the last year, the use of React hooks has taken the world of web development. Hooks provide users with an easy way to handle interactivity within ReactJS applications, so it's no surprise that the latest release of the ReasonReact library makes great use of them. 

In this lesson, we'll get started using ReasonReact `0.7.x` by scaffolding out an application using the [BuckleScript](https://bucklescript.github.io/) command-line tool. Once scaffolded, we'll go through the steps needed in order to properly run our application within a development environment that is ripe for productivity!

Up and Running with React Hooks inside of a ReasonML 

Any React developer will agree that 2019 was the year of that hooks took the library by storm. Luckily for us, the ReasonRect library makes it possible to hooks within the context of a ReasonML application.

In this lesson we will take a test drive of the `useReducer` hook within a ReasonML application. By the end, we'll have learned how to define our actions using variants, use records to shape our state, and more!

Use ReasonMLs Variant & Record types with ReasonReact's useReducer hook to Manage State

When working with traditional React, we often pass functional stateless components the `props` object as an argument. Although there are a few minor differences when working in the context of Reason, the act of passing `props` to a component is done in an extremely similar manner.

In this lesson, we will get a first-hand look at just how similar these processes are by walking through the steps of creating a React Component in ReasonReact. By the end, you'll have developed an understanding of ReasonReact's "named args" syntax which it uses for creating components and you'll have created a re-usable Layout component that can be used to share layout throughout an application.

Create a Layout Component for Displaying Child Components Inside of a ReasonReact App

One of the key benefits of BuckleScript is the ease in which it makes the process of porting JavaScript libraries so they can be used within the context of a ReasonML application. The Reason Package Index, or [redex](https://redex.github.io/), provides a central place for browsing all available packages. Additionally, creating your own BuckleScript bindings is a straight forward process that also provides value in the form of knowledge surrounding the inner-workings of the library at hand.

In this lesson, we learn how to integrate the emotion css-in-js libray into our project by installing the `bs-css` package. Once installed, we'll create a `.re` file for our style rules and see how we can add global css, as well as styles for specific css classes which we'll target using React's `className` prop.

ReasonML is a fantastic way to write Javascript! But it doesn't yet have a built-in async / await syntax. Furthermore the built-in libraries for working with Javascript promises are awkward to work with, and produce code that's hard to read. This lesson will teach the viewer how to use the "bs-let" language extension (called a PPX) to achieve readable, easy to write promise-based code.

Async / Await in ReasonML

Although ReasonML has built-in libraries for working with JSON, they are low-level and difficult to use by hand. The Decco library offers automatically generated JSON decoders, and produce a result that keeps the programmer safe at runtime by telling them whether the data they got matched the shape of the data they expected. 

Automatically decode JSON into records in ReasonML using Decco

This lesson shows how the Serbet server library for ReasonML and Node.js makes handling JSON request bodies, and responding with JSON request bodies a simple task.

Handle JSON request bodies and send JSON responses from a Node.js server using ReasonML

Decco is a great library for automatically generating JSON encoders and decoders, but most real-world projects will quickly run into the need to add custom data types that Decco doesn't ship with support for. This lesson shows how to simply add a custom data type by implementing a codec that reads and writes Javascript dates as floats.

Write a simple custom JSON decoder for Decco in ReasonML

Decco is a language extension that automatically generates JSON encoders and decoders from type signatures. When adding adding custom Decoders, the error messages that the compiler produces can be quite confusing. This lesson shows the viewer how to use explicit type signatures to narrow down where an error might be coming from in custom codec code. This same pattern can be applied whenever confusing error messages come from code that is written without explicit type signatures.

Working with cryptic error messages from ReasonML when writing custom Decco decoders.

This lesson shows how to use the `serbet` npm package to write a simple Node.js http server in ReasonML by implementing a simple "hello world" endpoint. Serbet is a convenient wrapper around Express.js. It's a young library, but its patterns are already used in production code.
