BUILDING CALYPSO-LIKE APPLICATIONS
TODAY ▸ What did we learn when building Calypso ▸
How can it help you build similar applcations
WHAT IS CALYPSO?
None
HTTP://WORDPRESS.COM/
https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso
CALYPSO GOALS
0. BETTER USER EXPERIENCE
1. FASTER PRODUCT ITERATION
2. BETTER DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE
HOW DOES CALYPSO WORK?
OPEN WORDPRESS.COM?
None
WEBPACK
<script src="/calypso/vendor.7040ada5ffb545212814.min.js"></script> <script src="/calypso/build-production.7040ada5ffb545212814.min.js"></script> <script src="/calypso/reader.f90bc942cc65cc1988e9.min.js"></script>
A USER VISITS A (NEW) URL
page( '/me', controller.sidebar, controller.profile ); page( '/me/account', controller.sidebar, controller.account );
WE RENDER A REACT COMPONENT
COMPONENT = HTML + JS
BUT THE DATA?
WORDPRESS.COM REST API
WP.COM REST API V2 === WP-API
wpcom.js
FETCHING IN CONTROLLER
DUMB
render: function() { const size = this.props.size; if ( !
this.props.user ) { return <span className="gravatar is-placeholder" style={ { width: size, height: size } } />; } const alt = this.props.alt || this.props.user.display_name; const avatarURL = this._getResizedImageURL( safeImageURL( this.props.user.avatar_URL ) ); return ( <img alt={ alt } className="gravatar" src={ avatarURL } width={ size } height={ size } /> ); }
None
<Post post={} user={} alltags={}> {this.props.post} <PostUser user={} /> <TagSelector tags={}
/> </Post>
SMART/CONNECTED CONTAINERS
STORES/GLOBAL STATE ▸ Users ▸ Posts ▸ Fetch Errors
USER ACTIONS
export function requestSitePosts( siteId, query = {} ) { return
( dispatch ) => { dispatch( { type: POSTS_REQUEST, siteId, query } ); return wpcom.site( siteId ).postsList( query ).then( ( { found, posts } ) => { dispatch( receivePosts( posts ) ); dispatch( { type: POSTS_REQUEST_SUCCESS, siteId, query, found, posts } ); } ).catch( ( error ) => { dispatch( { type: POSTS_REQUEST_FAILURE, siteId, query, error } ); } ); }; }
