REACT
A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES
REACT .NET

AND ASP.NET MVC
REACT NATIVE
A FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING NATIVE APPS
USING REACT
What is React?

Made by Facebook Used by Facebook
IE8 and up All recent mobile browsers GitHub Fork for IE6 & IE7
Native apps for iOS (Android soon)• Windows already allows for native JavaScript applications.

5
What do you use now? What are your current problems?
Why React?
6
Synchronizing state is hard=> Hence Databinding=> Chain reaction of callbacks
Small changes can lead to unprecedented reactionWhat is the effect on performance?
Updating the DOM is hard Debugging
• Where to place breakpoints?• Forward, not backward• Line by line
Problems
7
“Our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed.
For that reason we should do (as wise programmers aware of our limitations) our utmost to shorten the conceptual gap between the static program and the dynamic process, to make the correspondence between the program (spread out in text space) and the process (spread out in time) as trivial as possible”
Edsger Dijkstra
8
Rebuild instead of update Immutable instead of Mutable
• Flow: Uni-directional instead of bi-directional
Debugging• Minimum number of change locations (where to place breakpoint?)• Move from change to change instead of from line to line
Solutions

20th century: Old server, easy: Throw away old page and generate a new page on every request.
2004: HTML = Composed string 2007: HTML = Composed string with XSS protection 2010: Reduce server callbacks by having more JavaScript (databinding/MVC/etc.) 2013: React

Throw away and rebuild DOM: Losing input focus & cursos position Losing text selection Losing scroll position Losing IFrame state

Minimum number of differences Fastest possible changes Minimize garbage collection Only write to the browser DOM Event handlers only attached to browser DOM root

Mutable Only changeable by setState()
• Currently also by replaceState(), but that is no longer supported by ES6 classes.
