RE: Boilerplate For React Applications Using Atlaskit Components And Parcel

LOL. I asked you first. Ok, I'll go. I like typescript because that's just the order of things. I was working with coffeescript, and typescript came soon after to get my attention. Basically, it's what I know. Things I like about typescript:

Tooling
- tsc for compilation
- ts_node for runtime execution without compilation
- sass support
- webpack integration
type declarations. It's easy to add my own types and ts just takes care of the rest. For example, steem wasn't typed and it was easy for me to just add it. That was really nice.

Things I don't like about it

It's freaking voodoo. I don't mean compiling to js. Since it is adding integration for already confusing (webpack) aspects of how that works and getting through hairy situations are not an option (at least not for me). This means that in some exceptional cases, I still fall back to plain old JS because I can't figure it out.
effing semicolons!!!! Take the javascript out of javascript why don't you!!!

LOL, yes that's true, you asked first ;)

I'm sticking to JavaScript because I like it. I use Babel in all of my projects. Therefore I can use the latest features of the language. And there have been significant additions to the language like the modules syntax and spread operators.

Furthermore, I do not believe in static types. I prefer developing with dynamic types. There is less noise in my code. When I say I do not believe in static types I mean that I do not believe that static types will bring down your error density. If you want to bring down the error density in your programs, use TDD.

I have not used semicolons in my JavaScript program in years, and I had not a single issue with it.

But I agree with you on the tooling. I have seen some great tooling for TypeScript. But there are static analyzers which give you most of the benefits for JavaScript as well.

So to sum it up: I'm just happy using JavaScript :)

I really want to give atlaskit a try. I think this is my gateway drug. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for pushing it on to me.

:) Let me know what you have built.

PS: I will update the starter to include Redux for state management.

Do you know how to solve this? I'm running into this with npm run build

> [email protected] build /app
> parcel build src/index.html --public-url ./

Well, it smells like a Babel configuration error. My guess would be a missing configuration for class properties. Check your .babelrc file. It should look like this:

{
  "presets": ["react-app"],
  "plugins": ["transform-class-properties"]
}

Ensure that you have the plugin installed:

npm i --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-class-properties

Let me know if this fixed it for you. If not I have to look at your code. Good luck mate.

Thanks, this fixed it for me. I'm back in business. Parcel is voodoo

Did you find out what the issue has been?

Ok, I'm going to get to the bottom of this this week. Promise.

r351574nc3 (72) 8 years ago

Honestly, I haven't had the chance to investigate.

I added it as the default dashboard to my the docker image I use for my bots. https://github.com/r351574nc3/docker-steem-bot-template/releases/tag/0.1.0-atlasparcel

I also started a new steemit-events project to use it. It's an event app for steemit blockchain.

Cool, will check it out and see what you have done with it. BTW: I added Redux to the starter.

Cool I already have plans to use it for several projects. I'm kinda delayed right now. Trying to get my witness full node and my kubernetes cluster running. I'll loop back around when that's done.
