I was going through this post regarding how Facebook redesigned its homepage. It talks about code splitting and loading code in three tiers for fast first paint.
The first bundle loads the "skeleton" of the page to indicate loading of data:
The second bundle loads all the "above the fold content" at once:
Third bundle contains code for the rest of the page.
Considering that Facebook used React to build their new webpage, I would like to understand how the code in bundle-2 interacts with the code in bundle-1?
What I mean is, that once bundle-2, along with its data is loaded, the "UI skeletons" are replaced by actual components with complete data at the same place. That means in React code, we will have to either:
place the skeleton components besides other "content" components, or
we can replace the root of all skeleton component with the 'content' component.
When I loaded the page over a slow connection, I could see that some skeleton components were not replaced by content components after load. This means either they duplicated skeleton components in bundle-2 (corresponding to case 2 from above), or they somehow managed to load all 'content' components besides skeleton components by discarding the corresponding skeleton components (this corresponds to case 1 from above). If this is the case, how could they be managing this in React (at code level)?

How do I remove unused css in a webpage?
I could see that bundled css takes more time to load when I try in performance. I was trying to optimize that case by rendering the bundled css based on page wise (using react routing)
Example: There is a webpage called 'A'. If I load the page, the css used in that page alone should render. other css should not loaded or used. like wise it has to be done for every other pages.
I'm having a problem with scripts in Angular 4. Let me explain: I'm building an Angular app that will be included in a greater web application. So my app is only one among other apps inside this greater web application. In my app I need to include some HTML code representing common areas of this web application. They would be the head, header, menu and footer of the app. My app would be placed in the remaining space. Thus, I retrieve these HTML codes, turn them into SafeValue by bypassing sanitizing and include them by using the innerHTML property of some divs. After that I can see these HTMLs rendered with styling and all.
So this is the context. The problem is that the scripts in these HTMLs don't run. Even though they are not removed (you can examine the page's HTML and see the scripts there), they do not run. I need them to run as they are needed to perform some important tasks such as to fill the menu with links, animate menu expansion and god knows what else.
I have already tried to include these HTMLs in the index.html using the document DOM object to replace a div I've put in index.html as a placeholder, but I've had the same problem: it renders, but the scripts don't run. Something interesting is that if I put the script tag that is not running in the index.html directly (hardcoded, not dynamically) it works.
So, the scripts would have the following form:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//some_external_source"></script>
Only a remark: I have no control over these common HTMLs that I receive. I just receive them and have to use them for the sake of visual identity of the web application.
Sorry if it has already been answered. I have been looking for an answer for days now and I still didn't found one (I did found something similar for AngularJS though), so I posted.
This is not the way angular 2 intended such problems to be solved, if you want to divide your app into separate parts like: content, header, footer you should probably take a look at named router-outlets, or transcludion.
But if you want to do this your way, then do this:
#Component({.your metadata..})
export class SomeComponent{
constructor (private domSanitizer:DomSanitizer){
this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustScript(yourScript);
}
}
Working on MVC5 asp.net website.
I have a "dashboard" page that allows the user to place pre-defined "widgets" on the page. These widgets are simply MVC 5 partial pages (Razor). I really wanted each widget to be "self-contained" so all references, scripts, etc... are within the widget's cshtml file. BUT, the main "dashboard" page also needs certain references to jQuery, bootstrap, etc...
Of course, doing this, I could encounter conflicts, duplicate references (one from main page, one from widget), etc....
Question: What is the preferred method for this scenario? Should references like jQuery and bootstrap be JUST on the main "dashboard" page? What about javascript or jQuery code that is in the widget itself? Should this remain in the widget? If so, will I encounter the issue where it doesn't have jQuery defined (because it's in the parent page), etc...?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated?
Thanks!
**** UPDATE ****
TO further clarify: If I put the scripts, references, etc (specific to the widget) at the bottom of the widget, then when the partial page is rendered on the main page, the scripts, etc.. are not rendered at the bottom of the main page. This causes my code to act funny because of the order that things are rendered. This is one reason I ask this question. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
Put the script code and references that are global to the application , that are used everywhere and that are not specific to a widget in the most outer page.
What i would do, is i would bundle all my script references in one place and add that bundle link to the dashboard page, this makes your code cleaner and your page will have less external references thus a better client side performance.
I have an application I am trying to set up as a SPA with AngularJS that hooks into a REST API off of our internal SharePoint site. I am having issues with ng-view and getting any of the views to actually load. Both views are setup as ng-template and whenever it tries to find one, it kicks back a 404 Not Found like it's still looking for a separate page.
Here is the plnkr.
I know that none of the data will load because of this coming from an internal SharePoint list, but the views should at least load something to give us an idea of what is going on.
Edit: I cannot actually answer this since my account is too new, but I needed to move the ng-template script blocks inside of the ng-app div so that they would be recognized.
Just so that this doesn't stay as unanswered:
I needed to move the ng-template script blocks inside of the ng-app div so that they would be recognized by Angular and not loaded in the wrong order compared to the DOM.
I am using backbone.js and building a single page application, inspired by trello.com ..
I want to know how you show many pages on top of the original page. As in how you architect it.
How do you use Backbone routers to achieve this?
For example in trello
Basepage
And then now on top of the base page you have dynamic content
like a cards detail
like a boards details
How could i architecture something like this?
I've done a couple of approaches so far in projects with 50+ pages and they both scaled well. I did not use backbone.js but the approaches are straight forward and do not require a framework to learn other than I used jQuery for selectors.
Both of them have in common creating a single overlay window that you can pull in content into the window. I wrote mine from scratch but you could easily use jQuery UI dialog. The two approaches only differ in how the content is pulled. Also, using the information on the link is all you should need to pull in the "module" or overlay content as your rule. Do not need tons of scripts loaded in to start your app. Have the modules pull in the behavior for you.
Option 1) Use the jQuery load method to pull content from stand-alone web pages by using a placeholder variable like so:
var $ph = $('<div />');
$ph.load(URL); // loads gui of remote URL + executes any script that URL has
The $ph var now contains all the GUI loaded in from the external URL so you can use selector on it to extract the particular HTML and place it into your DOM or overlay as you need.
Here is an example of the stand-alone HTML output:
<div class="module">
<a class="link">click me</a>
</div>
<script>
(function(){
// put any private vars here
$('.module .link').click(function(){
// do something
});
})();
</script>
If you remove() or destroy the dom inside the overlay through jQuery, it will automatically remove all the events directly assigned aka "bind" and "unbind" them but using "live" or "delegate" you will need to worry about "die" and "undelegate" etc. just doing die('.namespace').live('click.namespace') will ensure is cleaned.
Here is an example of this on one of my websites -> http://www.kitgui.com/docs
But the better example is within the customer section as the docs is fairly simple using hash history.
2) Using an iframe inside your overlay and assigning it a URL.
This is the easiest option but is a little slower because each page called has to have a full standalone behavior and dependencies with the iframe. Also you must worry about sizing the frame etc. unless you have a fixed overlay window.
You must have a loader overlay your iframe while its loading then have the iframe talk the parent to tell it its done loading and hide the loader.
I did this for several sites but one of them is a site in development you can see here to get the code ->
http://dev.zipstory.com (sign in and go to my zipstory and click "group" settings etc to see this, just view source to see how I did this as its all there)
The thing about iframes is you should write some code on the parent that accepts standard messages from the iframe that you agree on as a typical set of behavior such as notifying its done loading or passing messages to update something on the parent etc. This can be added on the fly and refactored as you need as long as your aim is KISS approach.
Each of the 'dynamic content' pages should be a template (underscore.js gives you _.template()) rendered by a backbone view. The main page needs to have events that initialize new views and render the templates. Look at the todos app (http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/docs/todos.html) to get a basic idea about the flow of a backbone app.
