0 | LLVM-based compiler for the Nim language | # Introduction
[nlvm](https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm) (the nim-level virtual machine?)
is an [LLVM-based](http://llvm.org) compiler for the [Nim](http://nim-lang.org)
language.
From Nim's point of view, it's a backend just like C or JavaScript - from
LLVM's point of view, it's a language frontend that emits IR.
When I started on this little project, I knew neither llvm nor Nim.
Therefore, I'd specially like to thank the friendly folks at the #nim
channel that never seemed to tire of my nooby questions.
Also, thanks to all tutorial writers out there, on llvm, programming
and other topics for providing such fine sources of copy-pa... er,
inspiration!
Questions, patches, improvement suggestions and reviews welcome. When
you find bugs, feel free to fix them as well :)
Fork and enjoy!

# Status
`nlvm` is generally at par with `nim` in terms of features, with the following
notable differences:
* Fast compile times - no intermediate `C` compiler step
* DWARF ("zero-cost") exception handling
* High-quality `gdb`/`lldb` debug information with source stepping, type
information etc
* Smart code generation - compiler intrinsics for overflow checking,
smart constant initialization, etc
* Native `wasm32` support with no extra tooling
Most things from `nim` work just fine (see notes below however!):
* the same standard library is used
* similar command line options are supported (just change `nim` to `nlvm`!)
* `importc` works without needing `C` header files - the declaration in the
`.nim` file needs to be accurate
Test coverage is not too bad either:
* bootstrapping and compiling itself
* ~95% of all upstream tests - most failures can be traced to
the standard library and compiler relying on C implementation details - see
[skipped-tests.txt](skipped-tests.txt) for an updated list of issues
* compiling most applications
* platforms: linux/x86_64, wasm32 (pre-alpha!)
* majority of the nim standard library (the rest can be fixed easily -
requires upstream changes however)
How you could contribute:
* work on making [skipped-tests.txt](skipped-tests.txt) smaller
* improve platform support (`osx` and `windows` should be easy, `arm` would be
nice)
* help `nlvm` generate better IR - optimizations, builtins, exception handling..
* help upstream make std library smaller and more `nlvm`-compatible
* send me success stories :)
* leave the computer for a bit and do something real for your fellow earthlings
`nlvm` does _not_:
* understand `C` - as a consequence, `header`, `emit` and similar pragmas
will not work - neither will the fancy `importcpp`/`C++` features
* support all nim compiler flags and features - do file bugs for anything
useful that's missing
# Compile instructions
To do what I do, you will need:
* Linux
* A C/C++ compiler (ironically, I happen to use `gcc` most of the time)
Start with a clone:
cd $SRC
git clone https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm.git
cd nlvm && git submodule update --init
We will need a few development libraries installed, mainly due to how `nlvm`
processes library dependencies (see dynlib section below):
# Fedora
sudo dnf install pcre-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel ninja-build cmake
# Debian, ubuntu etc
sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev ninja-build cmake
Compile `nlvm` (if needed, this will also build `nim` and `llvm`):
make
Compile with itself and compare:
make compare
Run test suite:
make test
make stats
You can link statically to LLVM to create a stand-alone binary - this will
use a more optimized version of LLVM as well, but takes longer to build:
make STATIC_LLVM=1
If you want a faster `nlvm`, you can also try the release build - it will be
called `nlvmr`:
make STATIC_LLVM=1 nlvmr
When you update `nlvm` from `git`, don't forget the submodule:
git pull && git submodule update
To build a docker image, use:
make docker
To run built `nlvm` docker image use:
docker run -v $(pwd):/code/ nlvm c -r /code/test.nim
# Compiling your code
On the command line, `nlvm` is mostly compatible with `nim`.
When compiling, `nlvm` will generate a single `.o` file with all code from your
project and link it using `$CC` - this helps it pick the right flags for
linking with the C library.
cd $SRC/nlvm/Nim/examples
../../nlvm/nlvm c fizzbuzz
If you want to see the generated LLVM IR, use the `-c` option:
cd $SRC/nlvm/Nim/examples
../../nlvm/nlvm c -c fizzbuzz
less fizzbuzz.ll
You can then run the LLVM optimizer on it:
opt -Os fizzbuzz.ll | llvm-dis
... or compile it to assembly (`.s`):
llc fizzbuzz.ll
less fizzbuzz.s
Apart from the code of your `.nim` files, the compiler will also mix in the
compatibility found library in `nlvm-lib/`.
## Pipeline
Generally, the `nim` compiler pipeline looks something like this:
nim --> c files --> IR --> object files --> executable
In `nlvm`, we remove one step and bunch all the code together:
nim --> IR --> single object file --> executable
Going straight to the IR means it's possible to express nim constructs more
clearly, allowing `llvm` to understand the code better and thus do a better
job at optimization. It also helps keep compile times down, because the
`c-to-IR` step can be avoided.
The practical effect of generating a single object file is similar to
`gcc -fwhole-program -flto` - it is expensive in terms of memory, but results
in slightly smaller and faster binaries. Notably, the `IR-to-machine-code` step,
including any optimizations, is repeated in full for each recompile.
## Common issues
### dynlib
`nim` uses a runtime dynamic library loading scheme to gain access to shared
libraries. When compiling, no linking is done - instead, when running your
application, `nim` will try to open anything the user has installed.
`nlvm` does not support the `{.dynlib.}` pragma - instead you can use
`{.passL.}` using normal system linking.
```nim
# works with `nim`
proc f() {. importc, dynlib: "mylib" .}
# works with both `nim` and `nlvm`
{.passL: "-lmylib".}
proc f() {. importc .}
```
### header and emit
When `nim` compiles code, it will generate `c` code which may include other
`c` code, from headers or directly via `emit` statements. This means `nim` has
direct access do symbols declared in the `c` file, which can be both a feature
and a problem.
In `nlvm`, `{.header.}` directives are ignored - `nlvm` looks strictly at
the signature of the declaration, meaning the declaration must _exactly_ match
the `c` header file or subtly ABI issues and crashes ensue!
```nim
# When `nim` encounters this, it will emit `jmp_buf` in the `c` code without
# knowing the true size of the type, letting the `c` compiler determine it
# instead.
type C_JmpBuf {.importc: "jmp_buf", header: "<setjmp.h>".} = object
# nlvm instead ignores the `header` directive completely and will use the
# declaration as written. Failure to correctly declare the type will result
# in crashes and subtle bugs - memory will be overwritten or fields will be
# read from the wrong offsets.
#
# The following works with both `nim` and `nlvm`, but requires you to be
# careful to match the binary size and layout exactly (note how `bycopy`
# sometimes help to further nail down the ABI):
when defined(linux) and defined(amd64):
type
C_JmpBuf {.importc: "jmp_buf", bycopy.} = object
abi: array[200 div sizeof(clong), clong]
# In `nim`, `C` constant defines are often imported using the following trick,
# which makes `nim` emit the right `C` code that the value from the header
# can be read (no writing of course, even though it's a `var`!)
#
# assuming a c header with: `#define RTLD_NOW 2`
# works for nim:
var RTLD_NOW* {.importc: "RTLD_NOW", header: "<dlfcn.h>".}: cint
# both nlvm and nim (note how these values often can be platform-specific):
when defined(linux) and defined(amd64):
const RTLD_NOW* = cint(2)
```
### wasm32 support
`wasm32` support is still very bare-bones, so you will need to do a bit of
tinkering to get it to work.
Presently, the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target is mapped to `--os:standalone`
and `--cpu:wasm32` - this choice represents a very raw `wasm` engine with 32-bit
little-endian integers and pointers - in the future, the `nim` standard library
and `system.nim` will need to be updated to support WASM system interfaces like
emscripten or WASI.
To compile wasm files, you will thus need a `panicoverride.nim` - a minimal
example looks like this and discards any errors:
```nim
# panicoverride.nim
proc rawoutput(s: string) = discard
proc panic(s: string) {.noreturn.} = discard
```
After placing the above code in your project folder, you can compile `.nim`
code to `wasm32`:
```nim
# myfile.nim
proc adder*(v: int): int {.exportc.} =
v + 4
```
```sh
nlvm c --cpu:wasm32 --os:standalone --gc:none --passl:--no-entry myfile.nim
wasm2wat -l myfile.wasm
```
# Random notes
* Upstream is pinned using a submodule - nlvm relies heavily on internals
that keep changing - it's unlikely that it works with any other versions,
patches welcome to update it
* The nim standard library likes to import C headers directly which works
because the upstream nim compiler uses a C compiler underneath - ergo,
large parts of the standard library don't work with nlvm.
* Happy to take patches for anything, including better platform support!
* For development, it's convenient to build LLVM with assertions turned on -
the API is pretty unforgiving

## Introduction
This repository contains development work on an execution-layer client to pair with [our consensus-layer client](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2). This client focuses on efficiency and security and strives to be as light-weight as possible in terms of resources used.
This repository is also home to:
- [Fluffy](./fluffy/README.md), a
[Portal Network](https://github.com/ethereum/stateless-ethereum-specs/blob/master/portal-network.md)
light client.
- [Nimbus Verified Proxy](./nimbus_verified_proxy/README.md)
All consensus-layer client development is happening in parallel in the
[nimbus-eth2](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2) repository.
## Development Updates
Monthly development updates are shared
[here](https://hackmd.io/jRpxY4WBQJ-hnsKaPDYqTw).
Some recent highlights include:
- Renewed funding from the EF to accelerate development
- Completed Berlin and London fork compatibility (EIP-1559). It now passes nearly all the EF Hive testsuite, and 100% of contract execution tests (47,951 tests)
- New GraphQL and WebSocket APIs, complementing JSON-RPC
- EVMC compatibility, supporting third-party optimised EVM plugins
- Up to 100x memory saving during contract executions
- Asynchronous EVM to execute many contracts in parallel, while they wait for data from the network
- Proof-of-authority validation for the Goerli test network
- Updated network protocols, to work with the latest eth/65-66 and snap/1 protocols
- A prototype new mechanism for state sync which combines what have been called Fast sync, Snap sync and Beam sync in a self-tuning way, and allows the user to participate in the network (read accounts, run transactions etc.) while sync is still in progress
- A significant redesign of the storage database to use less disk space and run faster.
For more detailed write-ups on the development progress, follow the
[Nimbus blog](https://our.status.im/tag/nimbus/).
## Building & Testing
### Prerequisites
* [RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/)
* GNU Make, Bash and the usual POSIX utilities. Git 2.9.4 or newer.
On Windows, a precompiled DLL collection download is available through the `fetch-dlls` Makefile target: ([Windows instructions](#windows)).
```bash
# MacOS with Homebrew
brew install rocksdb
# Fedora
dnf install rocksdb-devel
# Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install librocksdb-dev
# Arch (AUR)
pakku -S rocksdb
```
`rocksdb` can also be installed by following [their instructions](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
#### Obtaining the prerequisites through the Nix package manager
*Experimental*
Users of the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/nix/download.html) can install all prerequisites simply by running:
``` bash
nix-shell default.nix
```
### Build & Develop
#### POSIX-compatible OS
```bash
# The first `make` invocation will update all Git submodules.
# You'll run `make update` after each `git pull`, in the future, to keep those submodules up to date.
# Assuming you have 4 CPU cores available, you can ask Make to run 4 parallel jobs, with "-j4".
make -j4 nimbus
# See available command line options
build/nimbus --help
# Start syncing with mainnet
build/nimbus
# Update to latest version
git pull
make -j4 update
# Run tests
make test
```
To run a command that might use binaries from the Status Nim fork:
```bash
./env.sh bash # start a new interactive shell with the right env vars set
which nim
nim --version
# or without starting a new interactive shell:
./env.sh which nim
./env.sh nim --version
```
Our Wiki provides additional helpful information for [debugging individual test cases][1]
and for [pairing Nimbus with a locally running copy of Geth][2].
#### Windows
_(Experimental support!)_
Install Mingw-w64 for your architecture using the "[MinGW-W64 Online
Installer](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/)" (first link
under the directory listing). Run it and select your architecture in the setup
menu ("i686" on 32-bit, "x86\_64" on 64-bit), set the threads to "win32" and
the exceptions to "dwarf" on 32-bit and "seh" on 64-bit. Change the
installation directory to "C:\mingw-w64" and add it to your system PATH in "My
Computer"/"This PC" -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment
Variables -> Path -> Edit -> New -> C:\mingw-w64\mingw64\bin (it's "C:\mingw-w64\mingw32\bin" on 32-bit)
Install [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/) and use a "Git Bash" shell to clone and build Nimbus.
Install [cmake](https://cmake.org/).
If you don't want to compile RocksDB and SQLite separately, you can fetch pre-compiled DLLs with:
```bash
mingw32-make fetch-dlls # this will place the right DLLs for your architecture in the "build/" directory
```
You can now follow those instructions in the previous section by replacing `make` with `mingw32-make` (regardless of your 32-bit or 64-bit architecture):
```bash
mingw32-make nimbus # build the Nimbus binary
mingw32-make test # run the test suite
# etc.
```
#### Raspberry PI
*Experimental* The code can be compiled on a Raspberry PI:
* Raspberry PI 3b+
* 64gb SD Card (less might work too, but the default recommended 4-8GB will probably be too small)
* [Rasbian Buster Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) - Lite version is enough to get going and will save some disk space!
Assuming you're working with a freshly written image:
```bash
# Start by increasing swap size to 2gb:
sudo vi /etc/dphys-swapfile
# Set CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
# :wq
sudo reboot
# Install prerequisites
sudo apt-get install git libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev
mkdir status
cd status
# Install rocksdb
git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git
cd rocksdb
make shared_lib
sudo make install
cd..
# Raspberry pi doesn't include /usr/local/lib in library search path - need to add
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus.git
cd nimbus
# Follow instructions above!
```
#### Android
*Experimental* Code can be compiled and run on Android devices
##### Environment setup
* Install the [Termux](https://termux.com) app from FDroid or the Google Play store
* Install a [PRoot](https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot) of your choice following the instructions for your preferred distribution.
Note, the Ubuntu PRoot is known to contain all Nimbus prerequisites compiled on Arm64 architecture (common architecture for Android devices). Depending on the distribution, it may require effort beyond the scope of this guide to get all prerequisites.
*Assuming Ubuntu PRoot is used*
```bash
# Install prerequisites
apt install librocksdb-dev
# Clone repo and build Nimbus just like above
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus.git
cd nimbus
make
make nimbus
build/nimbus
```
### <a name="make-xvars"></a>Experimental make variables
Apart from standard Make flags (see link in the next [chapter](#devel-tips)),
the following Make variables can be set to control which version of a virtual
engine is compiled. The variables are listed with decreasing priority (in
case of doubt, the lower prioritised variable is ignored when the higher on is
available.)
* ENABLE_CHUNKED_RLPX=0<br>
Disable legacy chunked RLPx messages which are enabled by default for
synchronising against `Nethermind` nodes
* ENABLE_EVMC=1<br>
Enable mostly EVMC compliant wrapper around the native Nim VM
* ENABLE_VM2LOWMEM=1<br>
Enable new re-factored version of the native Nim VM. This version is not
optimised and coded in a way so that low memory compilers can handle it
(observed on 32 bit windows 7.)
* ENABLE_VM2=1<br>
Enable new re-factored version of the native Nim VM.
For these variables, using <variable>=0 is ignored and <variable>=2
has the same effect as <variable>=1 (ditto for other numbers.)
### <a name="devel-tips"></a>Development tips
Interesting Make variables and targets are documented in the [nimbus-build-system](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-build-system) repo.
- you can switch the DB backend with a Nim compiler define:
`-d:nimbus_db_backend=...` where the (case-insensitive) value is one of
"rocksdb" (the default), "sqlite", "lmdb"
- the Premix debugging tools are [documented separately](premix/readme.md)
- you can control the Makefile's verbosity with the V variable (defaults to 0):
```bash
make V=1 # verbose
make V=2 test # even more verbose
```
- same for the [Chronicles log level](https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronicles#chronicles_log_level):
```bash
make LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG nimbus # this is the default
make LOG_LEVEL=TRACE nimbus # log everything
```
- pass arbitrary parameters to the Nim compiler:
```bash
make NIMFLAGS="-d:release"
```
- if you want to use SSH keys with GitHub (also handles submodules):
```bash
make github-ssh
```
- force a Nim compiler rebuild:
```bash
rm vendor/Nim/bin/nim
make -j8 build-nim
```
- some programs in the _tests_ subdirectory do a replay of blockchain
database dumps when compiled and run locally. The dumps are found in
[this](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1-blobs) module which
need to be cloned as _nimbus-eth1-blobs_ parellel to the _nimbus-eth1_
file system root.
#### Git submodule workflow
Working on a dependency:
```bash
cd vendor/nim-chronicles
git checkout -b mybranch
# make some changes
git status
git commit -a
git push origin mybranch
# create a GitHub PR and wait for it to be approved and merged
git checkout master
git pull
git branch -d mybranch
# realise that the merge was done without "--no-ff"
git branch -D mybranch
# update the submodule's commit in the superproject
cd ../..
git status
git add vendor/nim-chronicles
git commit
```
It's important that you only update the submodule commit after it's available upstream.
You might want to do this on a new branch of the superproject, so you can make
a GitHub PR for it and see the CI test results.
Don't update all Git submodules at once, just because you found the relevant
Git command or `make` target. You risk updating submodules to other people's
latest commits when they are not ready to be used in the superproject.
Adding the submodule "https://github.com/status-im/foo" to "vendor/foo":
```bash
vendor/nimbus-build-system/scripts/add_submodule.sh status-im/foo
# or
./env.sh add_submodule status-im/foo
# want to place it in "vendor/bar" instead?
./env.sh add_submodule status-im/foo vendor/bar
```
Removing the submodule "vendor/bar":
```bash
git submodule deinit -f -- vendor/bar
git rm -f vendor/bar
```
Checking out older commits, either to bisect something or to reproduce an older build:
```bash
git checkout <commit hash here>
make clean
make -j8 update
```
Running a dependency's test suite using `nim` instead of `nimble` (which cannot be
convinced not to run a dependency check, thus clashing with our jury-rigged
"vendor/.nimble/pkgs"):
```bash
cd vendor/nim-rocksdb
../nimbus-build-system/scripts/nimble.sh test
# or
../../env.sh nimble test
```
### Metric visualisation
Install Prometheus and Grafana. On Gentoo, it's `emerge prometheus grafana-bin`.
```bash
# build Nimbus
make nimbus
# the Prometheus daemon will create its data dir in the current dir, so give it its own directory
mkdir ../my_metrics
# copy the basic config file over there
cp -a examples/prometheus.yml ../my_metrics/
# start Prometheus in a separate terminal
cd ../my_metrics
prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml # loads ./prometheus.yml, writes metric data to ./data
# start a fresh Nimbus sync and export metrics
rm -rf ~/.cache/nimbus/db; ./build/nimbus --prune:archive --metricsServer
```
Start the Grafana server. On Gentoo it's `/etc/init.d/grafana start`. Go to
http://localhost:3000, log in with admin:admin and change the password.
Add Prometheus as a data source. The default address of http://localhost:9090
is OK, but Grafana 6.3.5 will not apply that semitransparent default you see in
the form field, unless you click on it.
Create a new dashboard. Click on its default title in the upper left corner
("New Dashboard"). In the new page, click "Import dashboard" in the right
column and upload "examples/Nimbus-Grafana-dashboard.json".
In the main panel, there's a hidden button used to assign metrics to the left
or right Y-axis - it's the coloured line on the left of the metric name, in the
graph legend.
To see a single metric, click on its name in the legend. Click it again to go back
to the combined view. To edit a panel, click on its title and select "Edit".

4 | gulp资料收集 | # use-gulp
#### 为什么使用gulp?
首先看一篇文章 [Gulp的目标是取代Grunt](http://www.infoq.com/cn/news/2014/02/gulp)
>根据gulp的文档，它努力实现的主要特性是：
> - 易于使用：采用代码优于配置策略，gulp让简单的事情继续简单，复杂的任务变得可管理。
> - 高效：通过利用node.js强大的流，不需要往磁盘写中间文件，可以更快地完成构建。
> - 高质量：gulp严格的插件指导方针，确保插件简单并且按你期望的方式工作。
> - 易于学习：通过把API降到最少，你能在很短的时间内学会gulp。构建工作就像你设想的一样：是一系列流管道。
> Gulp通过**流和代码优于配置**策略来尽量简化任务编写的工作。
别的先不说，通过代码来比较两者（gulp VS grunt）
可以参照我的代码，也可以阅读[该文章] (http://www.techug.com/gulp)。
- [Gruntfile.js](https://github.com/hjzheng/angular-cuf-nav/blob/master/Gruntfile.js)
- [gulpfile.js](https://github.com/hjzheng/html2js-gulp-for-cuf/blob/master/gulpfile.js)
两者的功能基本类似，gulp是通过代码完成任务，体现了代码优于配置的原则，对程序员更加友好，另外它也可以将多个功能一次性串起来，不需要暂存在本地，体现了对流的使用，这个可以阅读[该文章](http://www.techug.com/gulp)里的例子。
另外，经常会有人问，为什么gulp比grunt快，这个可以参考这篇[文章](http://jaysoo.ca/2014/01/27/gruntjs-vs-gulpjs/) 或者我本人在segmentfault上得回答[编译同样的scss，为什么gulp的速度几乎是grunt的两倍?](http://segmentfault.com/q/1010000003951849/a-1020000003952258)
#### 关于NodeJS流(stream)
因为gulp是基于流的方式工作的，所以想要进一步深入gulp，我们应该先学习NodeJS的流, 当然即使对流不熟悉，依然可以很方便的使用gulp。

---
This is a somewhat opinionated curriculum for learning front-end development during #100DaysOfCode. As it covers a wide range of front-end development topics, it can be thought of as more of a "survey" style course rather than a deep dive into any one area. Ideally, your takeaway from completing this curriculum will be some familiarity with each topic and the ability to easily dive deeper in any area in the future when necessary.
This curriculum was influenced significantly by Kamran Ahmed's [Modern Frontend Developer](https://medium.com/tech-tajawal/modern-frontend-developer-in-2018-4c2072fa2b9c) roadmap. Please check it out--it is excellent.
**Note**: I know front-end development means a lot of different things to a lot of people! If you're a front-end developer and you think this guide could be improved, please let me know by raising an issue as described in the [Contributing](#contributing) section. Thank you!

# :calendar: Curriculum
The underlying principle of this repository is [timeboxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeboxing). If you have spent any amount of time in the past trying to learn web development or a similar skill, you have likely experienced going down a rabbit hole on any one particular topic. This repository aims to assign a certain number of days to each technology and encourages you to move to the next once that number of days is up.
It is anticipated that everyone is at a different level of proficiency when starting this challenge, and that's okay. Beginner and expert front-end developers alike can benefit from timeboxed practice in each of these areas.
The recommended day-by-day activities are as follows:
- Days 1-8: [HTML](#html)
- Days 9-16: [CSS](#css)
- Days 17-24: [JavaScript Basics](#javascript)
- Days 25-27: [jQuery](#jquery)
- Days 28-33: [Responsive Web Design](#rwd)
- Days 34-36: [Accessibility](#accessibility)
- Days 37-39: [Git](#git)
- Days 40-44: [Node and NPM](#node)
- Days 45-50: [Sass](#sass)
- Days 51-54: [Bootstrap](#bootstrap)
- Day 55: [BEM](#bem)
- Days 57-61: [Gulp](#gulp)
- Days 62-65: [Webpack](#webpack)
- Day 66: [ESLint](#eslint)
- Days 68-83: [React](#react)
- Days 84-89: [Redux](#redux)
- Days 90-94: [Jest](#jest)
- Days 95-97: [TypeScript](#typescript)
- Days 98-100: [NextJS](#nextjs)
# :mag_right: The Details
Below you can find a little information about each topic in the curriculum as well as some ideas/guidance on what to do for each. For inspiration on projects to do alongside this curriculum, see the [Project Ideas section](#project-ideas).
As part of the timeboxing principle, it's okay if you don't get through all of the items in the "Learning Areas and Ideas" sections. You should instead focus on getting the most you can out of the number of days assigned to each area and then move on.
<a name="html"></a>
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, it forms a triad of cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web. Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
HTML is really the foundation of web development. Even in the javascript-based frameworks, you end up writing HTML in one form or another.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [Basic HTML and HTML5 section](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- HTML page structure
- HTML elements
- Nesting HTML elements
- Semantic markup
- Links / multiple pages
- Images
- Audio/video media
- Forms and form elements
- Create a multi-page website! (See [Project Ideas](#project-ideas) if you need some inspiration).
<a name="css"></a>
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML. CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript. CSS is designed to enable the separation of presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate .css file, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
CSS is another essential component of web development. While it is mainly used to style and position HTML elements, it has become increasingly capable of more dynamic tasks (e.g., animations) that would once be handled by javascript.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [Basic CSS, CSS flexbox, and CSS grid sections](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- In-line CSS
- `<style>` tags
- External CSS with `<link>`
- Styling elements
- Selectors
- Floats, clearing floats
- Layouts (grid, flexbox)
- Fonts, custom fonts
- Style the HTML page(s) you made when learning HTML!
<a name="javascript"></a>
JavaScript , often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, interpreted programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. It is a language that is also characterized as dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-paradigm. Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of the World Wide Web. JavaScript enables interactive web pages and thus is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
JavaScript has become increasingly important in the front-end world. While it was once used mainly to make pages dynamic, it is now the foundation of many front-end frameworks. These frameworks handle a lot of the tasks that were formerly handled by the back-end (e.g., routing and displaying different views).
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [Basic JavaScript and ES6 sections](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- Too many language fundamentals to list here!
- `<script>` tag and placement
- Accessing HTML elements
- The event loop, call stack, and event queue
- Prototypal Inheritance
- Reference vs. value
- Add some dynamic elements or logic to your HTML/CSS page(s) developed earlier!
<a name="jquery"></a>
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript. (Source: [jQuery.com](https://jquery.com/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
After you have spent some time with plain (also called "vanilla") javascript, you may find some tasks a bit cumbersome, especially those related to accessing and manipulating HTML elements. For quite a while, jQuery was the go-to library for making these kinds of tasks easier and consistent across different browsers. Nowadays, jQuery isn't necessarily "mandatory" learning because of advancements in vanilla javascript, CSS, and newer javascript frameworks (we'll look at frameworks later). Still, it would be beneficial to take a little time to learn some jQuery and apply it to a small project.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [jQuery section](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- Document ready
- Selectors
- Toggle classes
- Animation
- Add or move HTML elements
- Add jQuery to your site!
<a name="rwd"></a>
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. Recent work also considers the viewer proximity as part of the viewing context as an extension for RWD. Content, design and performance are necessary across all devices to ensure usability and satisfaction. A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Responsive web design is all about making web applications look and function properly on all types of device. A quick-and-dirty example would be that a website should look and function properly both in a desktop web browser and on a mobile phone browser. An understanding of responsive design is crucial for any front-end developer!
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [Responsive Web Design Principles section](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- Media queries, breakpoints
- Responsive images
- Make your website responsive!
- Use Chrome DevTools to view your site on different devices/viewports.
<a name="accessibility"></a>
Web accessibility is the inclusive practice of ensuring there are no barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites on the World Wide Web by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, generally all users have equal access to information and functionality. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Accessibility, often written as a11y, is one of the most important topics in front-end web development, yet it seems to often get short shrift. Creating accessible web applications is not only ethically sound, but also makes a lot of business sense considering the additional audience that will be able to view your applications when they are accessible.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Take the [Applied Accessibility section](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) on freeCodeCamp.
- Read some content on [The A11Y Project](https://a11yproject.com/about)
- Review their [checklist](https://a11yproject.com/checklist)
- Update your site(s) for accessibility based on this checklist
<a name="git"></a>
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. (Source: [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Version/code control is an essential part of any web developer's toolkit. There are a number of different version control systems, but Git is by far the most prevalent at the moment. You can (and should!) use it to track your projects as you learn!
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- [Git Tutorial for Beginners (Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVsySz-h9r4)
- Install git
- Set up a [github](https://github.com) account
- Learn the most-used git commands:
- init
- clone
- add
- commit
- push
- pull
- merge
- rebase
- Add your existing projects to github!
<a name="node"></a>
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. JavaScript is used primarily for client-side scripting, in which scripts written in JavaScript are embedded in a webpage's HTML and run client-side by a JavaScript engine in the user's web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
While Node.js is typically known as a back-end solution, it is used quite frequently to support front-end development. It does this in a number of ways, including things like running build tools, testing, and linting (all to be covered soon!). Node Package Manager (npm) is another great feature of Node and can be used to manage dependencies of your project (i.e., code libraries your project might rely on -- jQuery is an example!).
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Research node and how it is different than the browser
- Install node (npm comes with it)
- Create a simple javascript file and run it with node
- Use NPM to manage any dependencies in your existing project(s) (e.g., jQuery!)
<a name="sass"></a>
Sass is an extension of CSS that adds power and elegance to the basic language. It allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. Sass helps keep large stylesheets well-organized, and get small stylesheets up and running quickly, particularly with the help of the Compass style library. (Source: [sass-lang.com](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Sass allows you to write CSS in a more programmatic way. If you've done some CSS, you might have noticed that you end up repeating a lot of information--for example, specifying the same color code. In Sass, you can use things like variables, loops, and nesting to reduce redundancy and increase readability. After writing your code in Sass, you can quickly and easily compile it to regular CSS.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- [Install Sass](https://sass-lang.com/install) globally with npm!
- [Sass Crash Course Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roywYSEPSvc)
- Follow the [Learn Sass](https://sass-lang.com/guide) tutorial and/or [freeCodeCamp](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) Sass tutorial.
- Update your existing site to generate your CSS using Sass!
<a name="bootstrap"></a>
\* Some alternatives: Foundation, Bulma, Materialize
Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end framework for developing websites and web applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions. (Source: [Wikipedia](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_(front-end_framework)>))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
There are many options for laying out, styling, and making your web application dynamic, but you'll find that starting with a framework helps you tremendously in getting a head start. Bootstrap is one such framework, but it is definitely far from the only option! I recommend getting familiar with one framework like this, but it's far more important to grasp HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals than it is to get caught up in any one framework.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Learn what Bootstrap is and why you would want to use it
- [Bootstrap 4 Crash Course (Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnCmSXCZEpU)
- Complete the Bootstrap section on [freeCodeCamp](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/)
- Refactor your site using bootstrap!
<a name="bem"></a>
The Block, Element, Modifier methodology (commonly referred to as BEM) is a popular naming convention for classes in HTML and CSS. Developed by the team at Yandex, its goal is to help developers better understand the relationship between the HTML and CSS in a given project. (Source: [css-tricks.com](https://css-tricks.com/bem-101/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
It's important to know naming and organization systems like BEM exist and why they are used. Do some research here, but at a beginner level I wouldn't recommend devoting too much time to the subject.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Read the [BEM introduction](http://getbem.com/introduction/)
- [Why I Use BEM (Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLjHSVwXYq4)
- Create a simple webpage using BEM conventions.
<a name="gulp"></a>
Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow, so you can stop messing around and build something. (Source: [gulpjs.com](https://gulpjs.com/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
In modern front-end development, you'll often find yourself needing to automate tasks like bundling, moving files, and injecting references into HTML files. Gulp is one tool that can help you do these things!
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Install gulp with npm
- Follow the [gulp for beginners tutorial](https://css-tricks.com/gulp-for-beginners/) on CSS-Tricks
- In your website, set up gulp to:
- Compile Sass for you
- Put the generated CSS file in `build` subdirectory
- Move your web pages to the build directory
- Inject a reference to your generated CSS file into your web pages
<a name="webpack"></a>
At its core, webpack is a static module bundler for modern JavaScript applications. When webpack processes your application, it internally builds a dependency graph which maps every module your project needs and generates one or more bundles. (Source: [webpack.js.org](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Imagine that you have a large web development project with a number of different developers working on a lot of different tasks. Rather than all working in the same files, you might want to modularize them as much as possible. Webpack helps enable this by letting your team work modularly and then, come time to build the application, Webpack will stick it all together: HTML, CSS/Sass, JavasScript, images, etc. Webpack isn't the only module bundler, but it seems to be the front-runner at the moment.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Read [webpack concepts](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/)
- [What is Webpack, How does it work? (Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU-2T7k9NfI)
- [This webpack tutorial](https://hackernoon.com/a-tale-of-webpack-4-and-how-to-finally-configure-it-in-the-right-way-4e94c8e7e5c1)
<a name="eslint"></a>
ESLint is an open source JavaScript linting utility originally created by Nicholas C. Zakas in June 2013. Code linting is a type of static analysis that is frequently used to find problematic patterns or code that doesn’t adhere to certain style guidelines. There are code linters for most programming languages, and compilers sometimes incorporate linting into the compilation process. (Source: [eslint.org](https://eslint.org/docs/about/))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Linting is a fantastic tool for code quality, readability, and consistency. Using a linter will help you catch syntax and formatting mistakes before they go to production. You can run linters manually or include them in your build/deployment process.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Install eslint using npm
- [How to Setup VS Code + Prettier + ESLint (Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIvjKId9m2c)
- Lint your JavaScript
<a name="react"></a>
\* Some alternatives: Vue, Angular, Ember
React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies. React can be used as a base in the development of single-page or mobile applications. Complex React applications usually require the use of additional libraries for state management, routing, and interaction with an API. (source: [Wikipedia](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_(JavaScript_library)>))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Front-end JavaScript frameworks are at the forefront of modern front-end development. One important takeaway here is that React, despite being incredibly popular, is only a library for building user interfaces whereas frameworks like Vue and Angular aim to be more full-featured. For example, if you build an application with in React that needs to route to different views, you'll need to bring in something like `react-router`.

<a name="redux"></a>
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. On top of that, it provides a great developer experience, such as live code editing combined with a time traveling debugger. (Source: [redux.js.org](https://redux.js.org/introduction/getting-started))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
As you build bigger and bigger front-end applications, you start realizing that it's hard to maintain application state: things like the if the user is logged in, who the user is, and generally what's going on in the application. Redux is a great library that helps you maintain a single source of state on which your application can base its logic.

- Take note of the [Redux three principles](https://redux.js.org/introduction/three-principles)
- Single source of truth
- State is read-only
- Changes are made with pure functions
- Add Redux state management to your app!
<a name="jest"></a>
Jest is a delightful JavaScript Testing Framework with a focus on simplicity. It works with projects using: Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular, Vue and more! (Source: [jestjs.io](https://jestjs.io))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
It is very important to set up automated testing for your front-end projects. Setting up automated testing will allow you to make future changes with confidence--if you make changes and your tests still pass, you will be fairly comfortable you didn't break any existing functionality. There are too many testing frameworks to list; Jest is simply one of my favorties.
### :book: Learning Areas and Ideas
- Learn [Jest basics](https://jestjs.io/docs/en/getting-started)
- If you used `create-react-app`, [Jest is already configured](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/running-tests).
- Add tests to your application!
<a name="typescript"></a>
\* Alternative: Flow
TypeScript is an open-source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing to the language. TypeScript is designed for development of large applications and transcompiles to JavaScript. As TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, existing JavaScript programs are also valid TypeScript programs. TypeScript may be used to develop JavaScript applications for both client-side and server-side (Node.js) execution. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TypeScript))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
JavaScript is dynamically typed. However, it is a common belief that static typing (i.e., specifying variable types, classes, interfaces ahead of time) is both clearer and reduces the likelihood of defects/bugs. Regardless of how you feel on the topic, it's important to at least get a feel for a statically-typed version of JavaScript like TypeScript. Note that TypeScript compiles down to JavaScript so it can be interpreted by browsers (i.e., browsers don't natively interpret TypeScript).

<a name="nextjs"></a>
Next.js is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered React applications. (Source: [Next.js — React Server Side Rendering Done Right](https://hackernoon.com/next-js-react-server-side-rendering-done-right-f9700078a3b6))
### :bulb: Quick Takeaway
Now we're getting advanced! By now you've built a React (or Vue or Angular) application that does quite a bit of work in the browser. For various reasons (e.g., SEO, concerns over client performance), you might actually want your front-end application to be rendered on the server rather than the client. That's where a framework like next.js comes in.

==================================
A React-Native starter mobile app, or maybe just an example, or maybe a boilerplate (you decide) for iOS and Android with a single code base, with 2 backends to chose from: a Hapi or Parse Server solution- [Demo](#screens)
[](http://standardjs.com/)
[](https://www.codacy.com/app/bartonhammond/snowflake?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=bartonhammond/snowflake&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade)
[](https://gitter.im/bartonhammond/snowflake?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
[](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake/blob/master/LICENSE)
[](https://github.com/facebook/react-native)
## Installation
* [Install React-Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content)
### Install Snowflake
* Clone snowflake: `git clone https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake.git`
* install dependencies
```
cd snowflake
npm install
```
### Using Snowflake Hapi Server
#### Use the local or remote Snowflake Hapi Server
To make things easy for you, the `config.example.js` has been initialized to use the remote **Snowflake Hapi Server** which is running on **Redhat OpenShift**.
This **Snowflake Hapi Server** is Open Source. It can run either locally or on **RedHat OpenShift**. For your convince a server is running at: [https://snowflakeserver-bartonhammond.rhcloud.com](https://snowflakeserver-bartonhammond.rhcloud.com/)
Please refer to [https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift) for more information about the code and instructions for installation and setup of the server.
#### The following commands are for the client
* Copy the ```src/lib/config.example.js``` to ```src/lib/config.js```.
* **Note**: the `.gitignore` includes `config.js` from being committed to GitHub
* **Note**: you must select either `hapiLocal` or `hapiRemote` for the ```backend``` as shown below with `hapiRemote` set as the default.
```
backend: {
hapiLocal: false,
hapiRemote: true,
parseLocal: false,
parseRemote: false
},
```
* To run Hapi locally, follow the instructions at [https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift). You will have to install **MongoDB** and **Redis**.
* **Note**: The default is to run remotely on the **RedHat OpenShift Snowflake Server** so there is nothing more to do if you want to use it! In that case, just use the `config.js` as is.
* If you want to install and run the **Snowflake Hapi Server** locally, then update the ```src/lib/config.js``` file as shown below.
* **Note**: use the ip from the `ifconfig` command for the `local`. This ip matches the **Snowflake Hapi Server** setup.
* An example of the `url` is shown below assuming the `ifconfig` shows the local ip to be `192.168.0.5`
* **Note**: You don't have to provide the `local.url` value if you are using the `remote`
```
HAPI: {
local: {
url: 'http://192.168.0.5:5000'
},
remote: {
url: 'https://snowflakeserver-bartonhammond.rhcloud.com/'
}
}
```
### Using Parse Server
This **Snowflake Parse Heroku Server** is Open Source. It can run either locally or on **Heroku**. For your convince a server is running at: [https://snowflake-parse.herokuapp.com/parse](https://snowflake-parse.herokuapp.com/parse)
Please refer to [https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-parse-heroku](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-parse-heroku) for more information about the code and instructions for installation and setup of the server.
#### The following instructions are for the client
* Copy the ```src/lib/config.example.js``` to ```src/lib/config.js```.
* **Note**: the `.gitignore` includes `config.js` from being committed to GitHub
* Set `parseLocal` to true if you are running a local instance of parse-server
* Otherwise, set `parseRemote` to true to indicate your parse server instance is hosted in the cloud
```
backend: {
hapiLocal: false,
hapiRemote: false,
parseLocal: true,
parseRemote: false
},
```
* To setup parse-server, follow the instructions at https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server-example
* Set the `local.url` value if you are running parse-server `local`
* Set the `remote.url` value if you are running parse-server `remote`
```
PARSE: {
appId: 'snowflake', // match APP_ID in parse-server's index.js
local: {
url: 'http://localhost:1337/parse' // match SERVER_URL in parse-server's index.js
},
remote: {
url: 'https://enter_your_snowflake_host.com' // match SERVER_URL in parse-server's index.js
}
}
```
### To run:
* For iOS, from the command line, run via command: ```react-native run-ios``` or open XCode and load project, Run ```Product -> Run (⌘+R)```
* For Android, from the command line, run via the command: ```react-native run-android``` assuming you have an emulator or device running and attached
* To run Jest, ```npm test```
* To debug Jest unit cases, install [node_inspector](https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector) and run ```npm run test-chrome```
* Enjoy!

## Notes
Code is written to [JS Standard](https://github.com/feross/standard) and validated with [Eslint](http://eslint.org/). To setup your favorite editor using the Eslint configuration, see [Editors](http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/integrations#editors)
Navigation is handled with [React Native Router Flux](https://github.com/aksonov/react-native-router-flux). Multiple scenes support **Login, Register, and Reset Password**. Once successfully logged in, there are 3 more scenes: **Logout, Subview, and Profile**.
A user can **change** their **Email Address** and **User Name** once they are logged in using the **Profile** form.
The icons used throughout the app are from [React Native Vector Icons](https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons), namely using **FontAwesome**
**Form building** is extremely easy and consistent by using [Tcomb Form Library](https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb-form-native) by using **domain models** and writing less code.
Using [Redux](https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux) and [Immutable](https://facebook.github.io/immutable-js/), the state of the application is **testable** with [Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/), which includes [Snapshot tests](http://facebook.github.io/jest/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html) currently with 85 tests and ~90% coverage!!!
To ease the pain of Redux Action definitions, Snowflake uses [Key Mirror](https://github.com/STRML/keyMirror).
Using the [Validate.JS](https://validatejs.org/) Library, all **user input is validated**. Appropriate messages are displayed to the user guiding them in the input requirements.
Once a user is logged in, their **Session State is stored** in [AsyncStorage](https://github.com/jasonmerino/react-native-simple-store) so that subsequent usage does not require logging in again.
Snowflake supports **multiple languages** using [I18n](https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/react-native-i18n) with English, French and Spanish.
Snowflake supports **Hot Reloading** of its state.
Snowflake uses CI with [Bitrise.io]( https://www.bitrise.io) and has **extensive docs and 45+ min of video** demonstating implementation.
Snowflake has a **choice of servers**, either
* **Hapi Server** that runs on **RedHat Openshift** and **locally**.
See [https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift) for more information about the OpenShift Hapi server. The setup instructions below describe how to select the server you desire.
* **Parse Server** that runs **remotely** or **locally**
See [https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server-example](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server-example) for more information.

----------
## Technologies
*The following are brief descriptions of the technologies used*
### [React-Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/)
*React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React.*
What more can I say? It's a fantastic leap forward in providing the ability to write native applications with Javascript that target both iOS and Android.
This application provides one code base that works on both platforms. It demonstrates Form interactions, Navigation, and use of many other components.
### [Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/)
*85 Unit tests that cover plain objects and JSX components*
The de-facto standard for React/Native testing. This app demonstrates how to mock **ReactNative, node_modules, classes** and to properly **test JSX components** by programmatically changing the props, and throughly **test the applications data state and the actions** in conjunction with Redux.
### [Redux](http://redux.js.org/)
*Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test.*
Before Redux, application state was managed by all the various components in the app. Now, the state is managed in a **predictable and consistent manner** and it can be **tested with Jest** and best of all, it is **independent** of the UI. This is a major advancement in application design!
### [Hapi](http://hapijs.com/)
For me, Hapi provided a clear way for defining APIs and managing things clearly. Some folks like Express, I've used Express myself, and I wanted to try Hapi. I'm very satisfied with Hapi. As you may or may not know, WalMart Labs produced Hapi and they've used it in their business.
One of the needs of any application is server side processing. With the ability to run Hapi locally or on OpenShift, I'm able to write my server logic and test it locally. When I'm "happy" I can push the code to OpenShift. The same code runs in both environments.
### [Parse Server](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server)
As an alternative to Hapi, Snowflake also supports Parse Server. Parse Server is an open source version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.
Parse Server works with the Express web application framework. You can test it locally and push changes to your parse remote server when you are ready.
### [OpenShift](https://www.openshift.com/)
I chose OpenShift because I could get a reasonable performing application for free. The Snowflake server ([https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake-hapi-openshift) uses 3 gears with MongoDB and Redis.
### [TComb](https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb-form-native)
*A structured model based approach to declarative forms*
*With this library, you **simplify form processing** incredibly! Write a lot **less code**, get **usability** and **accessibility for free** (automatic labels, inline validation, etc) and no need to update forms when domain model changes. This application **demonstrates how to test these forms** also!
### [Validate.js](http://validatejs.org/)
*Validate.js provides a declarative way of validating javascript objects.*
Using Validate.js for the Form processing was a breeze! And with the ability to test the validations to the Redux state was very easy!
---------------
## Continuous Integration
CI proves to the developer that everything required to build and test
the application is well defined and repeatable. Without CI, one would
not know, for a fact, that all the required tools and assests are
available for everyone to build with. CI gives us developers some
"peace of mind" that our build process is repeatable.

## Redux State Management
This section explains a little about what I've learned with Redux and the management of application state.
### Without Redux
<details>
<summary></summary>
custom_mark10
digraph G {
aize ="4,4";
login [shape=box];
login -> validate [style=bold,label="1"];
login -> restful [style=bold,label="2"];
restful -> parse [style=bold,label="3"];
login -> router [style=bold,label="4"];
router-> new_page [style=bold,label="5"];
}
custom_mark10
</details>
A typical app, at least those I've written before, have logic and state scattered all through out. Frameworks help to organize but typically the developer has to know how to "stitch" it together by remembering to update certain state at certain times.
In the above diagram, the Login component is responsible for calling the Validate and making sure the rules are applied and errors are displayed. Then it has to have logic that confirms everything is in the right state, and pass that data to a Restul API to interact, in this case, with Parse. When that activity is complete the Router has to be informed and a new_page can be displayed.
This makes testing hard as the logic is partially contained in the Login component itself and the sequence of those events are encapsulated there too!
### With Redux
<details>
<summary></summary>
custom_mark11
digraph G {
aize ="4,4";
login [shape=box];
login -> Action[style=bold,label="1"];
Action -> Reducer [style=bold,label="2"];
Reducer -> login [style=bold,label="3"];
login -> Action [style=bold,label="4"];
Action -> restful [style=bold,label="5"];
restful -> parse [style=bold,label="6"];
Action -> Reducer [style=bold,label="7"];
Reducer -> new_page [style=bold,label="8"];
}
custom_mark11
</details>
What the above diagram depicts is that the logic for login is contained in the Actions and Reducer and can be tested in isolation from the UI. This also makes the UI Component Login much simpler to write as it just renders content based on props that are provided. The props are actually the Reducer Store.
So what is happening in this diagram? Where's the Validation? That would be in step 1. When the user enters characters on the form, they are sent to an action. The action packages them up and sends them to the Reducer. The reducer looks at what Type the Action is and performs the operation, in this case, Validate the parameters.
How does Login respond? Well, it recieves the updated Props - the properties which are the store. It then renders it's output based on those properties. Just straight forward logic - nothing more then checking the properties and display approptiately. At no time does the Login component change any property state.
The responsibility of changing state belongs to the Reducer.
Every time an Action is called, that Action interacts w/ the Reducer. The Reducer does state changes on the State or Store model.
Let's look at a concrete example, Resetting a Password. Now the UI is pretty simple, provide a Text Input for the email entry and a Button to click. Let's further assume that the email has been validated and the user clicks the "Reset Password" button. All that Login does is call an Action function called ```resetPassword``` passing the email value.
So don't get too overwhelmed with the following code. You can think of the ```dispatch``` calls as meerly as a messaging system. Each ```dispatch``` call invokes a function - it just calls a function in a Promise chain.
I want to now look at one specific Action and trace it's path. That action is the ```dispatch(resetPasswordRequest());``` call. That call signals that the "**reset password request**" processing is starting. We'll look at that next and how it trickles all the way back to the Login ui.
> Action.resetPassword
```
export function resetPassword(email) {
return dispatch => {
dispatch(resetPasswordRequest());
return new Parse().resetPassword({
email: email
})
.then((response) => {
if (response.status === 200 || response.status === 201) {
dispatch(loginState());
dispatch(resetPasswordSuccess());
} else {
dispatch(resetPasswordFailure(JSON.parse(response._bodyInit)));
}
return response;
})
.then((response) => {
if (response.status === 200 || response.status === 201) {
dispatch(emitLoggedOut());
}
})
.catch((error) => {
dispatch(resetPasswordFailure(error));
});
};
}
```
The simple function returns an object with type ```RESET_PASSWORD_REQUEST```. All of the activities performed have this pattern, make a REQUEST and then either have a SUCCESS or a FAILURE.
Now Redux is responsible for taking this returned Action object and passing it to the Reducer. What does the Reducer do with this Action? We'll look at that next.
> Action.resetPasswordRequest
```
export function resetPasswordRequest() {
return {
type: RESET_PASSWORD_REQUEST
};
}
```
The Reducer is a function with 2 parameters, state and action. What it does is to make modifications to the state depending upon the action. The state is any javascript object you like. This application uses Immutable.js for it's state so to guarantee the state is always immutable.
Notice the ```switch``` statement - it's looking at that Action.type value - all Actions have a type value. In our case, the type is RESET_PASSWORD_REQUEST.
So what's happening here. If any request type comes to the Reducer, including RESET_PASSWORD_REQUEST, we change the state by setting the ```form.isFetching``` to ```true``` and the ```form.error``` field to null. The returned new state value has these two fields set.
What happens with that new state? Well Redux makes that state available in the Login component ```props```. And since the ```props``` have changed, Login needs to ```render```. Let's look at that next.
> Reducer.Action.ResetPasswordRequest snippet
```
export default function authReducer(state = initialState, action) {
if (!(state instanceof InitialState)) return initialState.mergeDeep(state);
switch (action.type) {
case SESSION_TOKEN_REQUEST:
case SIGNUP_REQUEST:
case LOGOUT_REQUEST:
case LOGIN_REQUEST:
case RESET_PASSWORD_REQUEST:
let nextState = state.setIn(['form', 'isFetching'], true)
.setIn(['form','error'],null);
return nextState;
.....
```
So here in the ```render``` component we need to decide if a ```spinner``` should be displayed. It should display when the ```props.isFetching``` is ```true```. That's the value set above in the Reducer! All the Login ```render()``` has to do is check that property and set the UI appropriately.
> Login.Header.render snippet
```
render() {
let spinner = <Text> </Text>;
if (this.props.isFetching) {
spinner = <GiftedSpinner/>;
}
return (
<View style={styles.header}>
<Image style={styles.mark} source={{uri:
'http://i.imgur.com/da4G0Io.png'}}
/>
{spinner}
</View>
);
}
```
Hopefully this gives you some insight into how Redux is integrated into the application. In my opinion, this is a huge step in application logic.
If you'd like to read an excellent tutorial on Redux I can't recommend this one enough: [http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial.html](http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial.html)
--------------------
## Hot Reloading
This video shows Snowflake exporting and importing state from Redux. It demonstrates, with the iOS Simulator, the process of copying the state for import at a later time. After the demo, I walk through the code to clarify how I achieved this. It's assumed you have some familiarity with Redux. Hopefully it helps you gain a better understanding of what Redux provides you!

## Faq
### How do I change the Language of the App?
Just use the Settings of your Device or Simulator.
### Why did you use the RestAPI instead of the (JS-sdk | ParseReact)
I looked at it initially and, imo, it had too much magic. For example, I couldn't see how I was going to isolate my JSX components easily and keep all my "state" in Redux. ParseReact is right there in the middle of your JSX component which would tie me to a very particular vendor and implementation detail. If I decided to later move away from ParseReact I'd have to rewrite a lot of code and tests.
Also, it had this statement
> Mutations are dispatched in the manner of Flux Actions, allowing updates to be synchronized between many different components without requiring views to talk to each other
I don't want to deal w/ wrapping my head around Flux Actions and have to monkey-patch or something to get Redux Actions.
In a previous life, I worked with Parse JS SDK and it's based on backbone.js. So I didn't go that direction either, because, again, I didn't want to have another data model to deal with. Plus, at the time I was using it, the SDK was buggy and it was difficult to work with.
With the Parse Rest API, it's simple, can be tested itself from the command line with curl, it's clear, it's succinct and it's easily replaced with something else, an example such as Mongo/Mongoose without much, if any, impact on the code base.

## Why Isomorphic
#### SEO
An application that can only run in the client-side cannot serve HTML to crawlers, so it will have poor [SEO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization) by default. Web crawlers function by making a request to a web server and interpreting the result. but if the server returns a blank page, it’s not of much value. There are workarounds, but not without jumping through some hoops.
#### Performance
By the same token, if the server doesn’t render a full page of HTML but instead waits for client-side JavaScript to do so, users will experience a few critical seconds of blank page or loading spinner before seeing the content on the page. There are plenty of studies showing the drastic effect a slow site has on users, and thus revenue.
#### Maintainability
While the ideal case can lead to a nice, clean separation of concerns, inevitably some bits of application logic or view logic end up duplicated between client and server, often in different languages. Common examples are date and currency formatting, form validations, and routing logic. This makes maintenance a nightmare, especially for more complex apps.
## Problem exists yet
#### [FOUC](https://www.google.com.hk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwimhPqTrofRAhXHkJQKHTEYCfMQFggjMAE&url=https%3a%2f%2fen%2ewikipedia%2eorg%2fwiki%2fFlash_of_unstyled_content&usg=AFQjCNGjAnNtZtjPb5oLsT9Wlf9az7hXTw)
It happens when run in development mode. This is caused by deprecated using [extract-text-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin) in development for getting a seamless hmr experience.(Why deprecated? See this [Issue](https://github.com/webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin/issues/30)) If you are not an OCD, go ahead, ignore it.
#### Mismatch
It happens also when run in development mode. This is caused by when you update the react component code and reload the page, the markup generated mismatches that on server render. However, once you restart the server, the checksum will be valid. So it is harmless, ignore it also.

9 | 🗄🙅♀️ Deploy your next serverless JavaScript function in seconds | 
[](https://greenkeeper.io/)
[](https://circleci.com/gh/postlight/serverless-typescript-starter/tree/master)
[Postlight](https://postlight.com)'s Modern Serverless Starter Kit adds a light layer on top of the Serverless framework, giving you the latest in modern JavaScript (ES6 via Webpack, TypeScript if you want it, testing with Jest, linting with ESLint, and formatting with Prettier), the ease and power of Serverless, and a few handy helpers (like functions for handling warm functions and response helpers).
Once installed, you can create and deploy functions with the latest ES6 features in minutes, with linting and formatting baked in.
Read more about it in [this handy introduction](https://postlight.com/trackchanges/introducing-postlights-modern-serverless-starter-kit).
Note: Currently, this starter kit specifically targets AWS.
## Install
```bash
# If you don't already have the serverless cli installed, do that
yarn global add serverless
# Use the serverless cli to install this repo
serverless install --url https://github.com/postlight/serverless-typescript-starter --name <your-service-name>
# cd into project and set it up
cd <your-service-name>
# Install dependencies
yarn install
```
## Development
Creating and deploying a new function takes two steps, which you can see in action with this repo's default Hello World function (if you're already familiar with Serverless, you're probably familiar with these steps).
#### 1. Add your function to `serverless.yml`
In the functions section of [`./serverless.yml`](./serverless.yml), you have to add your new function like so:
```yaml
functions:
hello:
handler: src/hello.default
events:
- http:
path: hello
method: get
```
Ignoring the scheduling event, you can see here that we're setting up a function named `hello` with a handler at `src/hello.ts` (the `.default` piece is just indicating that the function to run will be the default export from that file). The `http` event says that this function will run when an http event is triggered (on AWS, this happens via API Gateway).
#### 2. Create your function
This starter kit's Hello World function (which you will of course get rid of) can be found at [`./src/hello.ts`](./src/hello.ts). There you can see a basic function that's intended to work in conjunction with API Gateway (i.e., it is web-accessible). Like most Serverless functions, the `hello` function is asynchronous and accepts an event & context. (This is all basic Serverless; if you've never used it, be sure to read through [their docs](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/).
---
You can develop and test your lambda functions locally in a few different ways.
### Live-reloading functions
To run the hello function with the event data defined in [`fixtures/event.json`](fixtures/event.json) (with live reloading), run:
```bash
yarn watch:hello
```
### API Gateway-like local dev server
To spin up a local dev server that will more closely match the API Gateway endpoint/experience:
```bash
yarn serve
```
### Test your functions with Jest
Jest is installed as the testrunner. To create a test, co-locate your test with the file it's testing
as `<filename>.test.ts` and then run/watch tests with:
```bash
yarn test
```
### Adding new functions/files to Webpack
When you add a new function to your serverless config, you don't need to also add it as a new entry
for Webpack. The `serverless-webpack` plugin allows us to follow a simple convention in our `serverless.yml`
file which is uses to automatically resolve your function handlers to the appropriate file:
```yaml
functions:
hello:
handler: src/hello.default
```
As you can see, the path to the file with the function has to explicitly say where the handler
file is. (If your function weren't the default export of that file, you'd do something like:
`src/hello.namedExport` instead.)
### Keep your lambda functions warm
Lambda functions will go "cold" if they haven't been invoked for a certain period of time (estimates vary, and AWS doesn't offer a clear answer). From the [Serverless blog](https://serverless.com/blog/keep-your-lambdas-warm/):
> Cold start happens when you execute an inactive (cold) function for the first time. It occurs while your cloud provider provisions your selected runtime container and then runs your function. This process, referred to as cold start, will increase your execution time considerably.
A frequently running function won't have this problem, but you can keep your function running hot by scheduling a regular ping to your lambda function. Here's what that looks like in your `serverless.yml`:
```yaml
custom:
warmup:
enabled: true
events:
- schedule: rate(5 minutes)
prewarm: true
concurrency: 2
```
The above config would keep all of your deployed lambda functions running warm. The `prewarm` flag will ensure your function is warmed immediately after deploys (so you don't have to wait five minutes for the first scheduled event). And by setting the `concurrency` to `2`, we're keeping two instances warm for each deployed function.
Under `custom.warmup`, you can set project-wide warmup behaviors. On the other hand, if you want to set function-specific behaviours, you should use the `warmup` key under the select functions. You can browse all the options [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-plugin-warmup#configuration).
Your handler function can then handle this event like so:
```javascript
const myFunc = (event, context, callback) => {
// Detect the keep-alive ping from CloudWatch and exit early. This keeps our
// lambda function running hot.
if (event.source === 'serverless-plugin-warmup') {
// serverless-plugin-warmup is the source for Scheduled events
return callback(null, 'pinged');
}
// ... the rest of your function
};
export default myFunc;
```
Copying and pasting the above can be tedious, so we've added a higher order function to wrap your run-warm functions. You still need to config the ping in your `serverless.yml` file; then your function should look like this:
```javascript
import runWarm from './utils';
const myFunc = (event, context, callback) => {
// Your function logic
};
export default runWarm(myFunc);
```
### Pruning old versions of deployed functions
The Serverless framework doesn't purge previous versions of functions from AWS, so the number of previous versions can grow out of hand and eventually filling up your code storage. This starter kit includes [serverless-prune-plugin](https://github.com/claygregory/serverless-prune-plugin) which automatically prunes old versions from AWS. The config for this plugin can be found in `serverless.yml` file. The defaults are:
```yaml
custom:
prune:
automatic: true
number: 5 # Number of versions to keep
```
The above config removes all but the last five stale versions automatically after each deployment.
Go [here](https://medium.com/fluidity/the-dark-side-of-aws-lambda-5c9f620b7dd2) for more on why pruning is useful.
## Environment Variables
If you have environment variables stored in a `.env` file, you can reference them inside your `serverless.yml` and inside your functions. Considering you have a `NAME` variable:
In a function:
```node
process.env.NAME
```
In `serverless.yml`:
```yaml
provider:
name: ${env:NAME}
runtime: nodejs12.x
```
You can check the documentation [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-dotenv-plugin).
## Deploy
Assuming you've already set up your default AWS credentials (or have set a different AWS profile via [the profile field](serverless.yml#L25)):
```bash
yarn deploy
```
`yarn deploy` will deploy to "dev" environment. You can deploy to `stage` or `production`
with:
```bash
yarn deploy:stage
# -- or --
yarn deploy:production
```
After you've deployed, the output of the deploy script will give you the API endpoint
