Scalable Single-Page Application Architecture

Sun, 10 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000

In order to have better understanding of the following blog post you should be familiar with the fundamentals of the object-oriented and functional programming. I also strongly encourage you to explore the redux pattern.

A couple of months ago I started working on the first version of a Silicon Valley-based startup. The project is a single-page application with quite dynamic business requirements. As in most modern single-page applications we have a fat client which encapsulates decent amount of business logic and state.

Flux in Depth. Store and Network Communication.

Sat, 18 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This is the second, and probably be the last, blog post of the series “Flux in Depth”. In the first post we did a quick overview of flux, took a look at the stateless, pure components, immutable data structures and component communication. This time, we’re going to introduce the store and how we can communicate with services through the network via HTTP, WebSocket or WebRTC. Since the flux architecture doesn’t define a way of communication with external services, here you can find my way of dealing with network communication. If you have any suggestions or opinions, do not hesitate to leave a comment.

Flux in Depth. Overview and Components.

Fri, 15 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This is the first blog post of the series “Flux in Depth”. Is this “yet the another flux tutorial”? What I have seen so far, while researching flux, were mostly “how-to” tutorials (usually with todo applications), which describe the main components of given flux application and the data flow between them. This is definitely useful for getting a high-level overview of how everything works but in reality there are plenty of other things, which should be taken under consideration. In this series of posts I will try to wire theory with practice and state my own solutions of problem I face on daily basis. Since these solutions might not be perfect, I’d really appreciate giving your opinion in the comments section below.
