Your concerns about input events moving up and down the component tree seem misplaced. It’s what happens when you use React anyway (unless you’re only using local component state); putting these input values in the Redux store only makes th

Keep in mind that while the post is poetic, he mentions getting rich in an IPO, and references Peter Thiel. So when he says wealth doesn't make you happy, he's saying something like "the difference between 10 million and 50 m

Kinda sounds like Redux.

Yeah. The way I think of this is, let's start from (my subjective) aesthetic first principles. Take an abstract human body, and look at its poses and movements: standing, sitting (and other forms of resting), walking, running. A smartp

Great article. One recent example I liked: the latest Mission Impossible had displays in fabrics, which I thought was a good alternative to smartwatches https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYKRTPmUAAAh7bz.png:large

Yeah you definitely need Redux or another state management solution. One of the unorthodox practices React encourages (through the Flux architecture) is to have 'global' state that components can access without passing down props

You would need some familiarity with npm first but after that the current practice is to use webpack with 'loaders' to transform JSX, ES6 etc. This is intermediate: webpack-howto https://github.com/petehunt/we

I saw this from Redux's creator that aligns with my take: "When people say setState() is an anti-pattern, they mean 500-line components with a complex setState() soup scattered across event handlers. When you spend your days looki

Yeah, fair point. I would say, besides interacting with server-side updates, the other use case for something like React is when you have a bunch of event listeners and find they're getting out of control (onclick function triggering s

The intercooler.js example seems to be iterating over the results, building up a string of <tr> items, and then appending the string to the DOM? Yeah, React is for stuff where you never want to do that... it's for when you write

What people refer to as boilerplate for setting up React, including in this article, is about installing and configuring node modules, build systems and other tools. React itself is just two modules (React, React-DOM.)

The problem is that there isn’t really such a thing as an “idiomatic React app”. React is just a view-rendering layer with a small API. You have to put together all the other pieces of your application stack…
