// We can mentally separate "core state" from "derived state".

// Flux actions called by views (components) are meant to be "fire and forget":
// the view will get an update after the dispatcher has updated the store.
//
// But sometimes, for view state that only really matters to the mounted
// component (like a loading indicator), it might be simpler to have
// a "done" callback in the action creator. This is considered a Flux
// anti-pattern, but if you don't actually pass data to the callback, you
// make sure not to break the "store = single-source of truth" principle.
// For example, let's say we have a widget that allows the user to add places

Proof of concept transforming React JSX code to a string-concatenating function with a Babel plugin

Instructions

Go to http://astexplorer.net/, select babylon6 as the parser, and babelv6 as the transform option.

Paste in the babel-plugin-react-string.js code in the transform area.

Paste the following example source code:

Emulating "enums" in JSDoc version of TypeScript

Emulating "enums" in JSDoc version of TypeScript

Problem

TypeScript has support for type-checking plain JavaScript files, which is very useful if you have an existing JS codebase and you want to test the waters and gradually add types.

There are some limitations in what you can do in JSDoc, but a lot of them can be worked-around by using type-definition files .d.ts (for example in a types/ directory). These files don't generate any JavaScript code, they are just there to provide extra type definitions to the compiler.

One thing you can't do in those .d.ts files though, is use enums. You could define them of course, but you won't get the runtime representation since the files don't generate JS code.
