A React Inspired UI framework in Pure Ruby 1
About Me • David Chang @zetachang (github, twitter) • Software
Engineer @ ಋೌ搚 solda.io • Author of HyperReact (a.k.a reactrb) - a ReactJS wrapper. 2

Tons of languages compile to JavaScript 14
is one of them. 15
Atoll A Ruby Library for Building User Interfaces 16
Atoll vs. React 17
A React Component (ES6 + JSX҂ class HelloMessage extends React.Component
{ render() { return <div>Hello {this.props.name}</div>; } } An Atoll Component (Plain Ruby) class HelloMessage < Atoll::Component def render h('div', nil, "Hello #{props[:name]}") end end 18
Built upon Ruby Idioms 1. Shorter & cleaner method name.
2. Familiar toolchain (e.g. rake, rspec, sprockets.) 19
Shorter & Cleaner method name • componentWillMount • componentDidMount •
componentWillReceiveProps • shouldComponentUpdate 20
Shorter & Cleaner method name • componentWillMount before_mount • componentDidMount
after_mount • componentWillReceiveProps before_receive_props • shouldComponentUpdate needs_update? 21
Familiar Toolchains • Sprockets • ERB • Rake • RSpec
• .... • (webpack, gulp, babel, yarn, npm, browserify, rollup, jest, mocha, enzyme) 22
Demo 23
Ideas taken from React • Declarative - predictable & easier
to debug. • Everything is a Component - Proper separation of concerns. • Learn Once Write Anywhere - how to render is handled by library. 24
Declarative UI 25
UI Component: 26
class Timer < Component def initialize @state = { second:
0 } end def after_mount $window.every(1) { set_state(sec: state[:second] + 1) } end def render h('span', nil, "Time elapsed: #{state[:second]}") end end 27
Mindset 1. Always re-render when data change. 2. Component returns
a blueprint instead of the actual instance of UI. 3. Framework do the hard work to generate minimal UI updates. 28
Everything is a component 29

Why Component-Based UI? 1. A proper separation of concerns for
applications. 2. Fundamental building blocks for application. 35
Learn Once Write Anywhere 36
Let's render this: h("div", nil, "Hello") 37
38

Demo 40
Server Side Rendering (a.k.a SSR) 41
Client-side rendering • initial request loads the page layout, CSS
and JavaScript. • some or all of the content isn't included Server-side rendering • initial request loads the page, layout, CSS, JavaScript • and content. 42
Why Server Side Rendering? • Better start-up experience. • Visible
to search engines (SEO.) • User might disable JavaScript. 43
Current Problems 1. Component state could not be preserved 2.
Side-effects to make a meaningful first mount must be handled at the top level. 3. JS Runtime is required (e.g. V8, Nashorn.) 44
Let's fix this in Atoll! 45
Marshal! 46
Marshal class Foo attr_reader :bar def initialize @bar = "yeah"
end end f = Foo.new s = Marshal.dump(f) # => "\x04\bo:\bFoo\x06:\t@barI\"\tyeah\x06:\x06ET" f = Marshal.load(s) f.bar # => "yeah" 47
Marshal • Serialize object to byte stream. • Supported by
almost every Rubies (e.g. Opal, MRI, RubyMotion.) • Almost everything could be marshaled by default. 48
Demo 49
On server <!-- Inside ERB template--> <%= atoll_component(LikeButton) %> On
client <div id='like-btn' data-atoll-state="U2VuZCByZ...."> <button class="btn btn-like">Like</button> </div> 50
What's unlocked? • Could be used with existing template toolchain.
• Server side rendering for mobile app. • Pre-render for selective component. 51
Road ahead • Will be free & open sourced •
Follow @atollrb. ! • Also follow @opalrb, @RubyMotion • It’s simply fun to build this. " 52
