Performance

KKbOX

The Keys to React Performance

• How to render

• When to render

KKbOX

Solutions

• Virtual DOM

• Optimistic re-rendering

KKbOX

Optimistic re-rendering• Pure Component (prop, state)

• Immutable data

• shouldComponentUpdate

• Only re-render when value is changed

• PureRenderMixin

KKbOX

Why Immutable?

• Immutable data is no side effect!

• Shared mutable state is the root of all evil - Pete Hunt

KKbOX

KKbOX

Why Immutable? (cont.)

• The reason why Om is faster than React

• Data or Value is immutable in Clojure

• Immutable + PureRenderMixin

KKbOX

KKbOX

Immutable.js

• It Implements immutable data structure in JavaScript

• Use the same algorithm with Clojure

KKbOX

PureRenderMixin implementationSimple but efficient

Flux & Relay

KKbOX

Flux & Relay

• Flux is an architecture

• Relay is designed for solving data fetching problem

KKbOX

Flux

• Unidirectional data flow

• Easy to debug

• It’s more of a pattern rather than a formal framework

KKbOX

Flux

KKbOX

Relay

• Relay is designed for solving data fetching problem

• Efficient

• Cache

• GraphQL

KKbOX

Relay Architecture

KKbOX

RelayContainer & Relay Store

KKbOX

Props coupling

KKbOX

KKbOX

Only modify 1 component

KKbOX

KKbOX

Component Communication

KKbOX

Component Communication

• It is a general problem

• Two scenarios

• Parent & Child

• No relationship

KKbOX

Parent & Child

• Pass props

• Use Callbacks

KKbOX

No Relationship• Global event system

• Flux

• Codecademy

• Adapter (broadcast)

• Channel (JS-CSP)

KKbOX

Adaptor

KKbOX

React Native

KKbOX

When ?

KKbOX

The reason to go native

KKbOX

React Native• No WebView, it uses JavaScript to control native UI.

• JavaScriptCore

• 3 pillars

• Touch Handling

• Native Components

• Style & Layout

• Reimplement Flex Box.

KKbOX

Benefits

KKbOX

Access to Platform ComponentsDifferent platforms have their own behaviours and styles

KKbOX

Instant UI change

Conclusion

KKbOX

Conclusion• Learn once, write anywhere

• React makes reusable components possible

• Look forward to Flux & Relay + GraphQL

• Tooling

• nuclide

• Jest

KKbOX

Conclusion (cont.)

• React Native is amazing but you still need to learn how native (Android/iOS) works

• Embrace Immutable data structure to reduce complexity

• It is time to use ES6 & ES2015

• Functional Programming is hot

• immutable data structure & functions composition

• #clojure

KKbOX

Trending

• React-inspired View - ComponentKit

• Flux architecture in Server side or App

• Functional Programming

KKbOX

Functional Programming• Operates on streaming and abstracts your behaviours

• Clojure

• LISP

• Immutable data structure

• ClojureScript

• #clojure
