You weren't using JSX?

That's amazing! Believe it or not I was mocking a very similar thing (besides rails). And select2. What made me rethink was the heavy dependencie on using datatables and mobile compatibility. Am I worrying too much and datatables.net "just works"?

Check my other reply. React is great but I think you need to buy the entire stack since one thing leads to the other. "I'm already using JSX so why not add just this one more babel line and get free ES6. It's the last thing I'll add, I swear"

I liked React ideas it's just that it feels incomplete not to use the entire stack you mentioned. And it's too much for my taste. I'm sure webpack works fine for most people it's just that the possible edge cases with the black box that is the compiled modules files and lack of good documentation makes me lose my sleep. Combined with the alpha state of the rest of the ecosystem is not really an easy choice for a paranoid developer like me. I also faced a lot of small inconveniences because I'm using Vagrant. IIRC there were options like watch-polling that was available as a cli arg but not on the config file. And the usual CORS problems that I had to solve.

My english is awful, I was trying to say it's not really a SPA that I'm making. I want to keep the routing mainly on my back-end and only do ajax calls to my API where needed. But if it's not another alpha-state component I would love to have the added possibility of using one or two extra routes on the JS side. It's just that checking the most popular repos and reading things like these is awful: "We are currently working hard on some major API changes for version 1.0."

Is like "mini-SPA's" on a few places that deal with too many data sources and would be a pain to make my users change screens.

I really enjoyed doing "one way binding" and some ideas around React though.

this looks really complete, thanks

Ask HN: JavaScript framework that I can use “right now”?

from the ask-hn dept.

After spending a week learning and experimenting "modern" JavaScript I think it's not worth the effort to use React.js and Webpack if I'm not making a full SPA. It's like alpha software with constant changes (I'm mainly talking about the ecosystem and its components). Documentation is also lacking, specially Webpack. Even tutorials from 3~6 months ago are somewhat outdated. Funny thing I...

Re:Talk me out of it – switching from Firefox to Chrome on Saturday August 22, 2015 @03:16PM (#10103404)

Yeah, it's awful. I also stopped using in favor of the native FF tools. There's https://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/3.0/ but it's way better to just make the switch.

Re:Bootstrap 4 alpha on Wednesday August 19, 2015 @01:44PM (#10087181)

I'm launching a not-so-critical thing in 2 or 3 months, currently using Bootstrap 3.

Is it safe to adopt 4 right now, to be more future-proof? I don't mind bugs that eventually will be fixed but is the API stable enough?

Re:Security: from Linux to Windows on Sunday May 24, 2015 @02:59PM (#9597159)

GlassWire, EMET and AppLocker are new to me but they sound promissing!

Why do you prefer Avira? I find hard to compare since the reviews are usually personal experiences without any real data, and since they are usually closed source it's even harder.

I'm looking for a "Windows for Linux users" kinda of guide, any suggestions? I'm not talking about how to use the OS, but how to protect myself from it.My new job "requires" that I move to Windows ASAP but I'm worried about all the cloud stuff. I'm waiting for the Windows 10 release to start the dual boot pain.- Is there a "Microsoft Block" list for the hosts files for all the cloud, ads on MS...
