2015-01-29 Unofficial Relay FAQ

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).

Nothing here is my original. But I want to put them together in one place to save people from spending the same time as I did.

First off, bundle.
==================

1. cd to the project directory
2. Start the react-native packager if not started
3. Download the bundle to the asset folder:
curl "http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android" -o "android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle"

// getComponent is a function that returns a promise for a component
// It will not be called until the first mount
function asyncComponent(getComponent) {
  return class AsyncComponent extends React.Component {
    static Component = null;
    state = { Component: AsyncComponent.Component };

    componentWillMount() {
      if (!this.state.Component) {
        getComponent().then(Component => {

Exponent - ex-navigation

This is for now, for my personal use only, things might not be correctly explained here. For the official docs please check: https://github.com/exponentjs/ex-navigation/blob/master/README.md

Navigation bar configuration

On every screen you can use the built-in navigation bar, you can add a title, left button, right button or change navigation bar’s style. All you need to do is pass appropriate params to navigationBar in the route configuration:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

Making Impossible States Impossible in ReasonML

Introduction

If you have already seen Richard Feldman's talk entitled "Making Impossible States Impossible" or have read "Designing with types: Making illegal states unrepresentable" then you can skip the explanations and just head straight to the Reason examples.

This post is intended to display how to model your Reason Application to prevent creating impossible states. The benefits of being able to design a feature in this way include avoiding having to deal with complex test scenarios regarding defined business rules and a clear documentation of what is possible just by looking at the type definition. Long story short, let's see how this all works by implementing an example.
