Next.js client-only SPA example

Made this example to show how to use Next.js router for a 100% SPA (no JS server) app.

You use Next.js router like normally, but don't define getStaticProps and such. Instead you do client-only fetching with swr, react-query, or similar methods.

You can generate HTML fallback for the page if there's something meaningful to show before you "know" the params. (Remember, HTML is static, so it can't respond to dynamic query. But it can be different per route.)

Don't like Next? Here's how to do the same in Gatsby.

The Journey of SWR and Suspense

We are trying to combine the idea of SWR ("stale-while-revalidate") and React Suspense together, and this write-up covers all our findings from this journey.

Background

When React Hooks launched, people started to rely on useEffect to initiate data fetching:

function User () {

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

user-package-stats

I was poking around trying to figure out all the packages I have access to publish and got curious. So I write this little script to determine the download stats for all the packages I have publish access to.

Feel free to try it yourself. Just change the username passed to getUserDownloadStats.

By default, the stats are sorted by their average daily downloads (descending). That should give you an idea of the most "popular" package of a given user relative to how long that package has been around.

You can use it with npx like so:

Replacing Create React App with the Next.js CLI

How dare you make a jab at Create React App!?

Firstly, Create React App is good. But it's a very rigid CLI, primarily designed for projects that require very little to no configuration. This makes it great for beginners and simple projects but unfortunately, this means that it's pretty non-extensible. Despite the involvement from big names and a ton of great devs, it has left me wanting a much better developer experience with a lot more polish when it comes to hot reloading, babel configuration, webpack configuration, etc. It's definitely simple and good, but not amazing.

Now, compare that experience to Next.js which for starters has a much larger team behind it provided by a world-class company (Vercel) who are all financially dedicated to making it the best DX you could imagine to build any React application. Next.js is the 💣-diggity. It has amazing docs, great support, can grow with your requirements into SSR or static site generation, etc.

So why

If you're publishing ES Modules, you need to also publish CommonJS versions of those modules.

This isn't to support old browsers or Node versions: even in Node 14, using require() to load a module won't work if it's only available as ESM.

cjyes is the bare minimum fix for this problem. You write ES Modules and fill out a valid package.json, and it'll generate the corresponding CommonJS files pretty much instantly. cjyes takes up 500kb of disk space including its two dependencies.

Implementing a jq REPL with fzf

Update: I created jq-zsh-plugin that does this.

One of my favourite tools of my trade is jq. It essentially enables you to process json streams with the same power that sed, awk and grep provide you with for editing line-based formats (csv, tsv, etc.).

Another one of my favourite tools is fzf.

finally-polyfill

A tiny ~150-byte polyfill for Promise.prototype.finally.

Useful for browsers that support Promise but not the .finally() method.

Usage

npm install finally-polyfill
