After jumping into ReasonReact, I soon came to the question “How do I do higher-order components?” I had some duplicated logic in several components regarding data fetching, and I wanted to use this familiar React tool to refactor.

To illustrate, we’ll be making a “fetches something from the network” wrapper component. We’ll start with a “mixed component” that we’ll then try to refactor.

Are you a big fan of React, and want to know more about Reason/OCaml? I made this for you!

Reason is a project that adds a JavaScript-style syntax and a bunch of conventions and tooling to OCaml. The goal is to make this awesome language, with its powerful type system and robust multi-platform compiler, accessible to a broader audience. It's backed by the good folks at Facebook who invented and built React, and so naturally having best-in-class React interop has been a high priority.

This tutorial aims to give you a nice introduction to the syntax and type system of Reason, through the ReasonReact library. We'll be building a simple Todo list application.

Reactive Programming is getting a lot of attention these days, and it promises to reduce frustration, bugs, and greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, there’s a sizeable learning curve involved while you try and get your head to think in streams instead of imperative sequential processes.

I recently switched from ghost to hexo, and the biggest thing missing for me was the editor interface. So I made one. Currently, it’s mostly a clone of the Ghost interface, but I have some ideas for making it even more awesome.
