Front-end frameworks are great. They abstract away much of the complexity of building a single-page application (SPA) and help you organize your code in an intelligible manner as your project grows. However, there’s a flip side: these frameworks come with a degree overhead and can introduce complexity of their own. T...
The dust has settled a bit as far as the JavaScript front-end ecosystem is considered. React has arguably the biggest mindshare at this point, but has a lot of bells and whistles you need to get comfortable with. Vue offers a considerably simpler alternative. And then there’s Angular/Ember which, while still popular,...
Increasingly, we are seeing web applications that are developed using a single page architecture, where the entire application is loaded into the browser as JavaScript and then all interactions with the server are carried out using HTTP based APIs that return JSON documents. Often, these applications will require some...
Today we’ll be exploring Choo by @yoshuawuyts — the little framework that could. It’s a brand new framework to help you build single page apps that includes state management, unidirectional data flow, views and a router. With Choo you’ll be writing similar style applications to React and Redux but ...
This tutorial is the final of a three-part series by Brad Westfall. We’ll learn how to manage state across an entire application efficiently and in a way that can scale without dangerous complexity. We’ve come so far in our React journey, it’s worth making it across the finish line here and getting th...
This article was peer reviewed by Chris Perry, Nuria Zuazo and Vildan Softic. Thanks to all of SitePoint’s peer reviewers for making SitePoint content the best it can be! JavaScript tooling anxiety, (or, as it’s customary to abbreviate everything, TA), has now become a thing and not necessarily in a good wa...
This article was updated on 11.05.2017 to reflect important changes to Auth0’s API. Authentication for single page apps can be a tricky matter. In many cases, SPA architecture involves having an isolated front-end application with a framework like AngularJS, and a separate backend that serves as a data API to fee...
