JavaScript Framework Explosion

ES6, ES7 and TypeScript
ES5: es5.github.io
ES6: git.io/es6features
ES7: bit.ly/es7features
TS: www.typescriptlang.org
TSES7ES6ES5

TypeScript
$ npm install -g typescript
function greeter(person: string) { 
return "Hello, " + person; 
} 
 
var user = "Jane User"; 
 
document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user);
$ tsc greeter.ts

“Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8
JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-
blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and eﬃcient.
Node’s package ecosystem, npm, is the largest
ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.”

Front End Build Tools
Old School: Gulp
New School: SystemJS
Hip: Webpack
Web Dependencies:
Old School: Bower
New School: npm
Hip: yarn

Yeoman
The web's scaﬀolding tool for modern webapps
Helps you kickstart new projects
Promotes the Yeoman workﬂow
yeoman.io

Gulp
gulp.task('serve', function() {
browserSync.init({
server: './app'
});
gulp.watch(['app/**/*.js', 'app/**/*.css', 'app/**/*.html'])
.on('change', browserSync.reload);
});

Write and Bundle
// bar.js
export default function bar() {
// code here
}
// app.js
import bar from './bar';
bar();
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: './app.js',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js'
}
}

<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

webpack.conﬁg.js
module.exports = {
entry: './src/app.js',
output: {
path: __dirname + '/src/main/webapp/public',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /.js$/,
loader: 'babel',
exclude: /node_modules/,
query: {
presets: ['es2015', 'react']
}
}
]
}
};

Leading JavaScript Frameworks in 2019
angular.io
reactjs.org
vuejs.org

“Angular and React dominate:
Nothing else even comes close.”

“2018: The Year of React
React won the popularity battle in 2017.”

“React kept a ﬁrm grip on its lead in 2018.”

Front End Performance Optimization
Reduce HTTP Requests
Gzip HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
Far Future Expires Headers
Code Miniﬁcation
Optimize Images

HTTP/2
Binary, instead of textual
Fully multiplexed, instead of ordered and
blocking
Can use one connection for parallelism
Uses header compression to reduce overhead
Allows servers to “push” responses proactively
into client caches

HTTP/2 Server Push in Java

Mobile Hates You!
How to ﬁght back:
Implement PRPL
Get a ~$150-200 unlocked Android (e.g. Moto G4)
Use chrome://inspect && chrome://inspect?tracing
Lighthouse
DevTools Network & CPU Throttling

The PRPL Pattern
Push
Render
Pre-cache
Lazy-load

The PRPL Pattern
Push critical resources for the initial URL route
Render initial route
Pre-cache remaining routes
Lazy-load and create remaining routes on demand
