Meteor and React for Realtime Apps

Learn to nest components by importing the image list into the app component and rendering it as part of the root component, composing a larger UI from smaller components.

Learn to perform ajax requests in a React app with axios, installing and importing the library, calling axios.get, and handling the promise to access the response data.

Learn how state in React drives rendering by updating a JavaScript object after an Ajax call to the Imgur API, triggering re-render of the app, image list, and image details.

Shows implementing state in a React class component by initializing this.state with an empty images array, using a constructor and super(props), and updating state from an API to trigger re-renders.

Filter out album images from the Imgur API results by excluding items with is_album true to prevent broken images in your React real-time app.

Explore adding image descriptions to the image detail component in Meteor and React for realtime apps, handle missing descriptions, and implement a progress bar for upvotes and downvotes.

Learn to generate seed data for a Meteor app using the faker library, install it via npm, and create thousands of server-side employee records at startup.

Use lodash times to generate 5,000 fake employee records with faker, creating name, email, phone, and avatar, and insert each into the employees collection in Meteor.

Turn a container into a flexbox to create responsive, equal-width employee cards. Wrap items, space them with justify-content: space-around, and set a 300px thumbnail width for consistent layouts.

Refactor a functional React component into a class-based one to enable persistent data, accessing props via this.props, implementing a render method, and incrementing a subscription count by 20 per click.

Create a new meteor and react project from the command line, install packages, replace client boilerplate, render a hello there component, and run the server to test at localhost:3000.

Learn to implement graceful error handling for URL validation in a Meteor and React realtime app by using optional method callbacks to surface client-side errors and display them in the UI.

Wire a linked list component to a subscription, render a table of links with short and long URLs and clicks, and implement token-based redirection using ES6 template strings.

Apply middleware in Meteor using the web app object to intercept requests, detect a token in the URL, and redirect to the target link using Connect Route.

Learn to use Meteor methods for safe data modification, remove the insecure package, and implement middleware with web app and connect route to redirect short links and increment clicks.

Outline the component definitions for a meteor and react realtime app, detailing the index page, header, bin list, and the bin editor, viewer, and share within bin main, plus router.

Learn to render Meteor Blaze login templates into a div using Blaze in a React app, then clean up on unmount to manage authentication state.

Create a bins collection to store user-created workspaces with markdown content, owner ID, and a shared-with email list, including created timestamps for sorting.

Consume the bin publication on the client with a bins list container using Meteor createContainer, subscribing to bins and rendering user-only data with an option for anonymous bins.

Learn to use react router for conditional rendering of app header, bin list, and bin main via nested routes like /bins and /bins/:binId, with children passed as props.

Retrieve a targeted bin by id from the URL, subscribe to the bins collection, and pass only that bin to the bin's main component via createContainer for precise rendering.

Wire the editor to call the Meteor update method with the bin and new content, ensure the editor value syncs, and add a loading guard to prevent undefined errors.

Build a bin sharing form in React with an email input and share button, styled by Bootstrap and flexbox, handle click to read the email and update the shared list.
