Compilation of questions and answers about Relay from React.js Conf.

Disclaimer: I work on Relay at Facebook. Relay is a complex system on which we're iterating aggressively. I'll do my best here to provide accurate, useful answers, but the details are subject to change. I may also be wrong. Feedback and additional questions are welcome.

What is Relay?

Relay is a new framework from Facebook that provides data-fetching functionality for React applications. It was announced at React.js Conf (January 2015).

Recently, we've been working on extracting Ember conventions from applications we're working on into the framework. Our goal is to make it clearer how the parts of an Ember application work together, and how to organize and bootstrap your objects.

Routing

Routing is an important part of web applications. It allows your users to share the URL they see in their browser, and have the same things appear when their friends click on the link.

The Ember.js ecosystem has several great solutions for routing. But, since it is such an important part of most web applications, we've decided to build it right into the framework.

If you have already modeled your application state using Ember.StateManager, there are a few changes you'll need to make to enable routing. Once you've made those changes, you'll notice the browser's address bar spring to life as you start using your app—just by moving between states, Ember.js will update the URL automatically.
