I’m sure most of you, if you have done any work with graphql, have heard of graphiql. It is an indespensible tool for writing and testing graphql queries.

The problem is that now that I’m not using express at the moment. I don’t want to go through the trouble of trying to fit graphiql into my stack.

To solve it, a graphiql bookmarklet:

jscodemigrate (deps|dependencies)

Fri, 11 Dec 2015 00:09:33 +0000

If you haven’t yet read about jscodemigrate, read about it here. If you already know about jscodemigrate then stick around because there is a new feature, and it is ready for you to use, just npm install jscodemigrate@latest --save-dev.

You already know that you can run all of your jscodeshift scripts at once and easily maintain your project with a directory full of timestamped codemods, but now, you can make it easy for those who depend on your npm packages to respond quickly to your API changes.

I’ve worked on lots of projects big and small, but as time went on they all suffered from the same problem. Changing standards and updated api’s left code fragmented as the codebase grew.

From the time I started working on coffeelint, the problem has been stewing in my head. Subconciously on the lookout for a solution, I heard about codemods. Let me preface by saying I’ve been quite obsessed with everything facebook engineering has been doing in open source lately. Needless to say I took notice.

React Native on Heroku

As a web developer doing iOS development with react native, I need a staging environment for the product manager to review changes to the app.

On the web, that means using Heroku, but with a react native app it is a bit more complicated.

My react native app has two components, the packager (for serving the client code) and the server (for interacting with the app).

Heroku only lets one process bind to an external port, so it wasn’t easy to do without creating two heroku apps.

Searching for an Isomorphic Reactiflux Stack

Now that Relay is out in preview, it will probably replace Flux entirely.

Why React?

A few months ago, the release of React Native by Facebook convinced me to make the leap to React.

I spent a while working on a React Native app and quickly learned that I needed to bring in Flux. After watching a few videos and reading a few blogs, I added my own implementation of flux to my react native app.
