Interesting part (unmounting & API) is at the end if you're not interested in the rest =).

Stress Tests

This animation proposal is just an attempt. In case it doesn't work out, I've gathered a few examples that can test the power of a future animation system.

1. Parent is an infinitely spinning ball, and has a child ball that is also spinning. Clicking on the parent causes child to reverse spinning direction. This tests the ability of the animation system to compose animation, not in the sense of applying multiple interpolations to one or more variables passed onto the child (this should be trivial), but in the sense that the parent's constantly updating at the same time as the child, and has to ensure that it passes the animation commands correctly to it. This also tests that we can still intercept these animations (the clicking) and immediately change their configuration instead of queueing them.

2. Typing letters and let them fly in concurrently. This tests concurrency, coordination of an array of ch

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

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).

React now supports the use of ES6 classes as an alternative to React.createClass().

React's concept of Mixins, however, doesn't have a corollary when using ES6 classes. This left the community without an established pattern for code that both handles cross-cutting concerns and requires access to Component Life Cycle Methods.

In this gist, @sebmarkbage proposed an alternative pattern to React mixins: decorate components with a wrapping "higher order" component that handles whatever lifecycle methods it needs to and then invokes the wrapped component in its render() method, passing through props.

While a viable solution, this has a few drawbacks:

1. There's no way for the child component to override functionality defined on the higher order component.
