andrew8088 / chirps.js
Created June 15, 2015 20:17
The Flux store creator that I'm currently using (with Facebook's own flux repo, which includes just a dispatcher). `chirps.js` is an example of it in action.
var constants = require('../constants');
var ChirpStore = module.exports = require('./store').extend({
init: function () {
this.bind(constants.RECEIVE_CHIRPS, this.loadChirps);
this.bind(constants.CREATED_CHIRP, this.loadChirps);
},
loadChirps: function (data) {
data = ({}).toString.call(data).indexOf('Array') > 0 ? data : [data];
data.forEach(ChirpStore.add.bind(ChirpStore));

'use strict';
var db = require('mongoose').connection;
var credential = require('credential');
var User = require('./models/user'); // the mongoose model
exports.createUser = function createUser(userAttrs, callback) {
db.once('open', function () {
User.findOne({ username: userAttrs.username }, 'username', function (err, person) {
if (err) return callback(err);
if (person) {

How to test a terminal command.

Playing around with FireFox's __noSuchMethod__ property; all browsers should have this!
var myObj = (function () {
var data = {
products : ["foobar", "bazquirk", "gizmo"],
services : ["widgets", "other", "last"]
};
return {
__noSuchMethod__ : function (id, args) {
if (id === 'all_products') return data.products;
if (id === 'all_services') return data.services;
