Thanks to this funding, UNICEF will continue providing children inside Syria and refugee host countries with essential support for water, sanitation, hygiene, education, health and nutrition, he added.

  • My First Production Isomorphic React Graphql Project 31 May 2016
    Fraser Xu My First Production Isomorphic React Graphql Project 31 May 2016 The story During the past few weeks, I’ve been given the opportunity to rebuild the front-end of a project with “modern approach” to replace an existing CoffeeScript, jQuery, Bower based app running on Ruby on Rails. After about 2 sprints of work(2 weeks for each sprint), we shipped our first version to production last week. Before I started to share my experience, I’d like to give an overview of the architecture for the project. The current stack Library View React State send-actions(like Redux, but management simper) Date fetching GraphQL, Relay Route React-Router Assets serving Webpack Precompile JS Babel Node.js(for server side Server rendering React) Why the current stack? I’ve worked on lots of different projects before with different stacks. And I always have the idea to not use any boilerplate in mind when start a new project. Boilerplates are usually built by and for people with different requirements for a project, and none of them are identical to the one you are trying to build. So usually I will only keep a list of well maintained boilerplate project, and only use them as a reference when my own stack gets into trouble. The new project has a few requirements: Server side rendering for progressive enhanced experience so the page could work for user without JavaScript SEO, we are mainly an e-commercial website, so SEO is the number one priority The app needs to talk to a couple of micro- services, and tokens are usually stored on the server for safety reasons UI state should persist from url, not only for SEO, but also for a better user experience Fast iteration time, to move fast and delivery better user experience Improve performance, the short time we delivery page to user, the longer we can keep the user on the website There are also other requirements which are not for business, and most of them are actually for a better developer experience.
