The Rules of React

The Rules of React

All libraries have subtle rules that you have to follow for them to work well. Often these are implied and undocumented rules that you have to learn as you go. This is an attempt to document the rules of React renders. Ideally a type system could enforce it.

What Functions Are "Pure"?

A number of methods in React are assumed to be "pure".

On classes that's the constructor, getDerivedStateFromProps, shouldComponentUpdate and render.

Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Check if a program exists from a bash script.Thanks to twitter.com/joshnesbitt and twitter.com/mheap for the help with detecting npm packages.
#!/bin/bash
# Functions ==============================================
# return 1 if global command line program installed, else 0
# example
# echo "node: $(program_is_installed node)"
function program_is_installed {
# set to 1 initially
local return_=1

Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

This tutorial walks through setting up AWS infrastructure for WordPress, starting at creating an AWS account. We'll manually provision a single EC2 instance (i.e an AWS virtual machine) to run WordPress using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.

This tutorial assumes you're relatively comfortable on the command line and editing system configuration files. It is intended for folks who want a high-level of control and understanding of their infrastructure. It will take about half an hour if you don't Google away at some point.

If you experience any difficulties or have any feedback, leave a comment. 🐬

Coming soon: I'll write another tutorial on a high availability setup for WordPress on AWS, including load-balancing multiple application servers in an auto-scaling group and utilizing RDS.

jQuery selector cache with reset (original: http://eamann.com/tech/selector-caching-jquery/). If commenting, please ping me on Twitter, same username.
function Selector_Cache() {
var collection = {};
function get_from_cache( selector, reset ) {
if ( undefined === collection[ selector ] || true === reset ) {
collection[ selector ] = jQuery( selector );
}
return collection[ selector ];
}
