Now, with the Flux architecture in place, we will rethink how our React components get the data that they need to render. As you know, there are usually two sources of data for a React component:
Calling another library; for example, in our case, calling the
jQuery.ajax()
method orSnapkiteStreamClient.initializeStream()
Receiving data from a parent React component via the
props
object
We want our React components not to use any external libraries to receive data. Instead, from now on, they will get that same data from stores. Keeping this plan in mind, let's refactor our Stream
component.
Here is how it looks now:
var React = require('react'); var SnapkiteStreamClient = require('snapkite-stream-client'); var StreamTweet = require('./StreamTweet.react'); var Header = require('./Header.react'); var Stream = React.createClass({ getInitialState: function () { return { tweet: null } }, componentDidMount: function () { SnapkiteStreamClient...
