The War of the Worlds: Chapter XII. WHAT I SAW OF THE DESTRUCTION OF WEYBRIDGE AND SHEPPERT

Meet the Winners of Startups in North and Central America

Terra Virtua's CEO Gary Bracey (L) and co-founder/CTO Jawad Ashraf (R) When the game ‘Cryptokitties’ first released in 2017, the mainstream market was blown away, like a kid in a candy store. The thought that you or I could adopt, raise, and also trade cats--an animal that was just a collection of pixels viewable only through a computer, phone, and/or tablet was mind boggling. And now, here we are in 2021, where the meaning of “collectibles” has since evolved from more than just collecting and owning stamps, coins, or jewelry--to owning unique artwork, music tracks, TV and film scripts, and even a “tweet” such as , which as of 1 week ago, bids reached $2.5 million. Crazy. Jack Dorsey’s very first tweet In recent months, the entertainment-focused collectibles platform, Terra Virtua has continued to add some resourceful partners to its game-changing platform, announcing on Tuesday its newest strategic partnership with , a new NFT platform that launched on March 8. The partnership will see the two companies working together to deliver the benefits of NFTs and digital collectibles to the mainstream market. Ethernity Ethernity Chain recently teamed up with the , sports tycoon Michael Rubin, among others to help promote collectible works by digital artists. So, why all the hype surrounding Terra Virtua? Winklevoss twins The platform is a game-changer, adding an entirely new dimension of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to cyberspace, whether you access it from a PC, MAC, smartphone, or tablet. Its existing and exclusive partnerships with and has only added to the growing library of intellectual property licenses Terra Virtua holds in works such as , and most recently, the animated Netflix series, and which is due out in theaters this Easter. Paramount Pictures Legendary Entertainment Top Gun, The Godfather, Sunset Boulevard, World War Z Pacific Rim: The Black Godzilla vs. Kong With similarities amongst films like and (and ), which you can bet the company has been asked several times about, according to the platform’s co-founder and CTO Jawad Ashraf. Tron Ready, Player One Ready, Player Two “We’ve been asked quite a few times in various conversations we’ve had with people who aren’t familiar with the space or Terra Virtua, and while there are similarities in terms of the capability of technology to create a virtual world that you can fully immerse yourself in, that’s really where the similarities come to an end, with regards to Terra Virtua specifically.” In a conversation with both Ashrad and the company’s other co-founder and CEO, Gary Bracey, Terra Virtua is more focused on creating an immersive experience where you can interact with, and experience the things you love from within the arts and entertainment world. Digital Ownership is the Future, So Be Ready Digital ownership is what is being discussed at dinner tables right now, particularly when we are talking NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. NFTs exist on the blockchain, serving as a piece of unique code that can be verified as being unique, independently of any platform. We have only ever seen NFTs in a two-dimensional or very basic three-dimensional view. “AR and VR deepen the experience, and really bring in the social and sharing elements of owning an item,” according to Ash Mohammed, Head of Partnerships and Ashraf. “We think it’s the ‘what’s next’ of collecting and fandom.” Certainly, there has been a generational shift and phenomena occurring as between and among Millennials and Gen-Z that attributes to this evolution of what it means to create and own unique works: “We feel there is a generational shift in what ownership, and the value of that means now. Sharing, social media, and ownership are all being redefined, with digital items such as videos, pictures, skins, and even platform achievements holding more value than physical items. With games such as Minecraft, Fortnite and more, an entire generation has grown up with digital items. NFTs bring together all of these factors but remove the dependency on any platform. They will outlast any game, and they have the same rarity and authenticity as a physical item. You can hand them down in your will if you so choose. It's a tech here to stay.” Ashraf first pitched the concept of what is now known as “Terra Virtua” to Bracey at a Starbucks in Staines, on the way back to Dubai. From Ashraf’s perspective, the Blockchain was a disruptive technology that could provide the next step in advancing permanent ownership of digital assets, from in-app and in-game purchases. Both Bracey and Ashraf wanted to take this idea mainstream, as Bracey already had extensive links and a track record in licensing properties from Hollywood and beyond. Agreeing that VR was a key to the next step of interactivity, both Bracey and Ashraf expanded the vision to encompass every digital touchpoint for an asset owned by a person, including a web marketplace, mobile phone, 3D desktop, and VR. The platform’s first two environments, “Fancave” and “Terradome” allow fans to showcase their collectibles across film, music, sport, and more for free. “The terradome houses those massive collectibles which don’t fit into the Fancave, such as your own digital Kong or a huge robot from as they need a lot more space!” Ashraf described a platform’s ability to provide AR/VR dimensions in its entirety, as anything but easy. “We are fortunate to have had an amazing leadership team and also brilliant developers,” he told me. “We are bullish on the growth of VR, as we have really seen a change since the new wireless VR headsets have appeared in the marketplace.” Pacific Rim Legally Speaking… When it comes to protecting a creator’s intellectual property on the Blockchain, artists and creators to Terra Virtua earn royalties on primary sales and secondary sales on the platform. “Typically, after the primary sale, the brand owner doesn’t make anything further,” Bracey says. “Not in Terra Virtua. We have some amazing artists and brands on the platform, including, but not limited to Paramount Pictures, Legendary Entertainment, as well as some pretty amazing artists and musicians.” And of course, the “right to be forgotten.” With U.S. laws like the , or CCPA, now in place, platforms like Terra Virtua aren’t oblivious to the industry’s bigger controversies surrounding data storage and privacy. “This has always been a topic of conversation within the technology space,” Ashraf explains. “As a company, we comply with the regulations that are set and make sure that we are as secure as you can be when it comes to handling data.” California Consumer Privacy Act DeFi For You? The advances in DeFi allow for evolving mechanics in the NFTs space. Ashraf referenced the industry’s ability to ‘farm’ NFTs, which means you do activities such as lock tokens to ‘earn’ collectibles which you can hold or choose to resell. “NFTs are becoming a new asset class with their own value which people can take loans against. NFT hedge funds are emerging. The space is moving very quickly.” At the end of the day, the future is protecting those types of works (paintings, music tracks, scripts, and more) on a platform that is tailored to our digital age. “We have made it friendly for everyone. We do curate art works, and if a brand wants to onboard, then we do look at its suitability and audience size. We want to have the AAA brands which people love be associated with Terra Virtua. Some new features will allow smaller brands to connect with creators on the platform and bring their collectibles to Terra Virtua too!”

"NFTs Are the ‘What’s Next’ of Collectibles & Fandom" - Jawad Ashraf of Terra Virtua

Almost 1 year ago I published an article about . fetching data from an API in React.js But in that article, I used the class component and life cycle methods. After which, I received requests to create an article by This inspired me to think of a simple project idea that is compatible with this article. using functional components along with React Hooks. Ultimately, it came to me that I should consider creating a web page that takes a city name as input and provides weather data about the city.  How peachy! I will use the online service as the API. Let’s discuss the project structure with a diagram. OpenWeatherMap In our webpage, we will have a form that takes city name as an input, and when we submit the form it sends a network request to the . OpenWeatherMap API resolves the request and as a response, it sends JSON data containing weather info about the city. After that, we will display the data on our webpage. Let’s take a look at the mock-up design for more clarification. OpenWeatherMap As we have the minimum info about what we are going to do and how it will look like, let’s start creating a react project. In your terminal execute .  I will call my project name . It will set up a default project for us. create-react-app <project name> react-hook-with-api As usual, I will use my favorite as my editor. Now it’s time to do some cleanup. Visual Studio Code Remove , , , rename App.js with App.jsx with the following code under components folder. Don’t forget to change the import of App in the index.js. App.css App.test.js index.css const App = () => {
  return(
    <div>Weather App</div>
  )
}

export default App; Execute in your terminal, which will open your browser and you should see Weather App on the page. yarn start I will use to make the designing easier. On your terminal execute if you are using yarn or with npm execute . In your index.js don’t forget to add . It is time to create our first component. bootstrap yarn add bootstrap npm i bootstrap import ‘bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css‘ Create  SearchBar Component In our components folder create a file. Add the following lines of code in the file. And import the component in your App.jsx. On the webpage, you should see SearchBar. SearchBar.jsx // SearchBar.jsx
const SearchBar = ({ onSearchSubmit }) => {
  return (
    <div>
     SearchBar
    </div>
  );
}

export default SearchBar;

// App.jsx
import SearchBar from './SearchBar';

const App = () => {
  return(
    <div>
      <h3>Weather App</h3>
      <SearchBar />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App; Let’s add a form in our SearchBar component. Well, it’s . Because the priority is to utilize react hook. Replace your SearchBar.jsx with the following lines. going to be ugly //SearchBar.jsx
const SearchBar = () => {

  onFormSubmit = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
  }

  onInputChange = (event) => {
    console.log(event.target.value);
  }
  
  return (
    <div className="w-80 mt-20">
      <form className="w-100" onSubmit={onFormSubmit}>
        <div className="w-60 m-auto d-flex justify-content-center">
          <input 
            className="w-75"
            type="text"
            placeHolder="Enter city name"
            onChange={onInputChange}
          />
          <button type="submit" className="w-25">Search</button>
        </div>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

export default SearchBar; You should see the following output on your webpage. Add State In a article, I have talked about the State briefly. You can go through that to get a clear idea about when we need a state. previous The first state we need is in the container to store the user input. To handle the operation of the state we will use the useState hook. SearchBar The useState hook returns a current state and a function to update it. Wait... seems confusing? Let’s clear two questions first to minimize the confusion. How to access the hook? useState How to use the hook? useState // Answer to the question No. 1
import { useState} from 'react';

// Answer to the question No. 2
const [value, setValue] = useState(0) // 0 is the default value Here the value is the current state and is the function to update the value. And 0 is the default value that we pass as an argument in the hook. setValue useState We need a state to store the user’s input. Now we can add it to our SearchBar component. When the user makes changes to the input field we have to set the value in the state. So the code in the SearchBar will look like this //SearchBar.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';

const SearchBar = () => {
  const [cityName, setCityName] = useState('');

  onFormSubmit = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
  }

  onInputChange = (event) => {
    setCityName(event.target.value);
  }
  
  return (
    <div className="w-80 mt-20">
      <form className="w-100" onSubmit={onFormSubmit}>
        <div className="w-60 m-auto d-flex justify-content-center">
          <input 
            className="w-75"
            type="text"
            placeHolder="Enter city name"
            value={cityName}
            onChange={onInputChange}
          />
          <button type="submit" className="w-25">Search</button>
        </div>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

export default SearchBar; API Integration As we got the user input now it’s time to get data according to that. As I mentioned I will be using service to get the data. OpenWeatherMap If you don’t have an account please create one by using this link . https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up Click on your username and then click to generate one. Create a file in the root directory of your project then add the following info in there. ‘My API keys‘ .env REACT_APP_API_URL='https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5'
REACT_APP_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY It’s time to create a method in our file. Let’s name it as onSearchSubmit. There we will perform the API call based on the provided text. App.jsx Don’t forget to pass it as a prop into the SearchBar component. Then call it inside method. onFormSubmit //SearchBar.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';

const SearchBar = ({ onSearchSubmit}) => {
  const [cityName, setCityName] = useState('');

  onFormSubmit = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    setCityName('');
    onSearchSubmit(cityName);
  }

  onInputChange = (event) => {
    setCityName(event.target.value);
  }
  
  return (
    <div className="w-80 mt-20">
      <form className="w-100" onSubmit={onFormSubmit}>
        <div className="w-60 m-auto d-flex justify-content-center">
          <input 
            className="w-75"
            type="text"
            placeHolder="Enter city name"
            value={cityName}
            onChange={onInputChange}
          />
          <button type="submit" className="w-25">Search</button>
        </div>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

export default SearchBar;

//App.jsx
import './App.css'
import SearchBar from './SearchBar';

const App = () => {
  const onSearchSubmit = async (text) => {
    try {
      await fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/weather?q=${text}&units=metric&appid=${process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY}`)
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(result => {
        setData(result)
        console.log(result);
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('err', err);
    }
  }
  return(
    <div className="ui container" style={{marginTop: '10px'}}>
      <h3 className="text-center">Get Weather Info</h3>
      <SearchBar onSearchSubmit={onSearchSubmit} />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App; Now go to the webpage, open your browser developer console then search with your city name. You should see an object similar to the following. Display the Data Great, now all we need to do is just store the value in a state, after that pass it in our displaying component. I will call that component Weather. Let’s create a file called and fill it with the following code. Weather.jsx //Weather.jsx
const Weather = ({ weatherData }) => {
  return(
    <div className="container w-50 mt-5 m-auto border border-secondary p-2">
      { weatherData && (
        <>
          <div className="d-flex justify-content-between">
            <h6>Name </h6>
            <small className="text-muted">{weatherData.name}</small>
          </div>
          <div className="d-flex justify-content-between">
            <h6>Feels Like</h6>
            <small className="text-muted">{weatherData.main.feels_like}</small>
          </div>
        </>
      )}
      { !weatherData && (
        <p className="text-center">Search by city name to get data</p>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

export default Weather; And the final code of the will look like this: App.jsx // App.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import './App.css'
import SearchBar from './SearchBar';
import Weather from './Weather';

const App = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);

  const onSearchSubmit = async (text) => {
    try {
      await fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/weather?q=${text}&units=metric&appid=${process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY}`)
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(result => {
        setData(result)
        console.log(result);
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('err', err);
    }
  }

  return(
    <div className="ui container" style={{marginTop: '10px'}}>
      <h3 className="text-center">Get Weather Info</h3>
      <SearchBar onSearchSubmit={onSearchSubmit} />
      <Weather weatherData={data} />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App; We are ready, now you can search with your city to see the weather information. Well, is not tough to use a hook in your project. All you need to do is break your vision into several missions then complete them one by one. For More Information: https://reactjs.org/ https://getbootstrap.com/ https://openweathermap.org/

Fetch Data From an API in React.js Using React Hooks 

You can work with Forms using Velo APIs in 2 different ways: Use the Wix Forms app and its APIs. Create your own custom form with input elements and submit buttons. Then use Velo to save the data to a collection. Let's present each approach so you can decide which to use. Wix Forms APIs Wix Forms is an app solution that provides you with a built-in suite of form functionalities, such as an out-of-the-box submission button, database collection creation, and auto-generated emails after submission. First use the to set up your forms quickly and efficiently, taking advantage of Wix Forms features. You even get a for your form that you can use to store the form data. Wix Forms app starter collection Then use the to customize the visitor experience even more. For example, you can display a personalized thank you message when a visitor submits the form. WixForms Velo APIs Check out the benefits of the Wix Forms app! Choose from a variety of designs for your form from a set of templates. You can design and customize the layout of the form in the Editor. Each form design comes with its own collection for storing form data. You don't have to create your own from scratch. Each field on your form is automatically connected to the collection. You don't have to connect fields one by one. The Wix Forms app sets up email notifications so you don't have to. The information is saved for your contacts, and goes through the Inbox (Wix CRM). The Wix Forms app makes it easy to set up payment forms, multi-step forms, and subscription forms. Using Wix Forms Starter Collections When to your site, you pick the type of form you want. Depending on the form you pick, you get a collection specifically built for that form. In addition to the form appearing in the  Form Submissions tab in the Dashboard's Customer Management area, you can also see the collection in the Database section of the Velo Sidebar. you add the Wix Forms app We call these collections because that's exactly what they are for, to help you get started.  You can use the collection "as is" or you can change the collection to meet your needs. For example, when we add a Donations form to our site, we get a starter collection called Donors with basic fields. Here we customized the collection by adding a Signature field. starter collections The fields on the Donations form are connected to the fields in the Donors collection. This means that each time a visitor submits a form, the form field data is stored in the corresponding field in the collection. The opposite is not true. Adding a field to a starter collection does not add a corresponding field to the form. Using the WixForms API on your site in the Wix Editor. Add and set up a Wix Form Enable . You will see a WixForms element and its corresponding form element on your page. The Form element is a container for the input elements and buttons in the Wix Form. If you hide or collapse either the WixForms or Form element, the other element is also hidden/collapsed. Note that we apply the WixForms functions and events to the WixForms element, not the Form element. Dev Mode wixForms1 form1 Write the code for the client-side event handlers and to handle what happens when a visitor submits the form. onWixFormSubmitted() provides information, such as field names and field values, that is available only on the client side. You can code operations to run on the client side, such as displaying a message after form submission. This event fires when the server indicates that the submission was received, even if the server is still asynchronously processing. Here is sample code for displaying a personalized message on the page thanking the visitor for a donation. Client-side event handlers: onWixFormSubmitted( ) onWixFormSubmittedError( ) $w( ).onWixFormSubmitted( {fields} => { firstName = fields[ ].fieldValue; lastName = fields[ ].fieldValue; donation = fields[ ].fieldValue; email = fields[ ].fieldValue;
   $w( ).text = ;
}); "#wixForms1" let 0 let 1 let 2 let 3 '#text1' `Thank you, , for your generous donation of .` ${firstName} ${lastName} ${donation} /* fields array of objects:
 * [
 *  {
 *    "id":"inputFirstName",
 *    "fieldValue":"Maria",
 *    "fieldName":"Enter first name"
 *  }
 *  {
 *    "id":"inputLastName",
 *    "fieldValue":"Santora",
 *    "fieldName":"Enter last name"
 *  },
 *  {
 *    "id":"inputDonation",
 *    "fieldValue":"1000",
 *    "fieldName":"Enter donation amount"
 *  },
 *  {
 *    "id":"inputEmail",
 *    "fieldValue":"ms@theCompany",
      "fieldName":"Enter email"
 *  }
 * ]
 */ Write the code for the backend event handler function to perform operations on the server side when the visitor submits a form. `onFormSubmit()` provides additional information that the page does not have, such as the form's submission time and the contact ID. Keep in mind that the functions on the server run asynchronously and do not hold up onWixFormSubmitted( ) operations. Backend Event Handler: onFormSubmit() Custom Forms To provide your site visitors with a fully customized form experience that you totally control, you can create custom forms manually. Add user input elements and buttons to the page, and code their usage to act like a form. Using Velo APIs to create your own custom forms may take a bit more time and coding than using the Wix Forms app, but customizing your own forms can offer some advantages, such as enabling additional field types and using advanced functionality with code, without adding Ascend to your site. Using APIs for Custom Forms Use standard $w input elements and buttons to create your form. The user input elements on your form can use functionality provided by . FormElement Write code for the event handlers to customize your visitors' experience. Here are some examples and tutorial articles to help you get started.

How To Use Velo API To Work with Forms

Each time working with in app we spend a lot of time to make , … Most actions in fact are CRUD for working with . redux react action types, action creators reducers redux store Let’s imagine that someone makes it for us… To make any react app we should create an empty project by using or configure with . create-react-app webpack babel _It’s a first part of tutorial where I’m going to show how to create react app from scratch._medium.com React app from scratch Usually I use webpack for to make a custom configuration. But this time I’ll use create-react-app. If you don’t have it (I hope you installed and on your PC) you can run next command: own projects node.js npm npm i -g create-react-app It will install the package as global so you can run it anywhere. Let’s run create-react-app to create a new directory for our project and create react app: create-react-app react-redux-example Small notice… For working with any node.js project you need to check . For example, you can find or commands. And to run it you can make command or short way (for predefined commands) / . package.json scripts section start test npm run start/ npm run test npm start npm test Another way is using . As it’s part of Facebook react ecosystem don’t forget to install it ( ). With yarn you can run the same commands: / . yarn npm i -g yarn yarn start yarn test And again, we are too lazy so we can just install another package — : ntl npm i -g ntl After that, you don’t need to research each package.json. Just run command in a directory of node.js project and you can see all commands. ntl Comeback to our app… We created a new react project. Let’s check it: cd react-redux-example To see all predefined commands run ntl: ntl We see start, build, test, eject commands: — starts our app, start — builds static files (js, css…) to deploy it on server, build — runs tests of our app, test — creates webpack config (after running eject command you’ll need to manage webpack by yourself). eject So now we can run our app. Run and then select command and press enter or make it manually by running ( ) command (but it’s not our way). ntl start npm start yarn start As we can see it works on port: 3000. If we open it in a browser ( ) we see our app: http://localhost:3000/ As we can see from page info to update our app we should change file. src/App.js Next, we should research our app structure and add redux. To see the tree structure of our app run next command (without node_modules): tree -I "node_modules" .├── README.md├── package.json├── public│   ├── favicon.ico│   ├── index.html│   └── manifest.json├── src│   ├── App.css│   ├── App.js│   ├── App.test.js│   ├── index.css│   ├── index.js│   ├── logo.svg│   └── registerServiceWorker.js└── yarn.lock So we are ready to create a form example. Our goals: create stateful component by extending React.Component see what is controlled components see what is state and how to manage it split our component: get stateless component and smart container see what is HOC and check other tools for working with state (recompose) So let’s create a new directory and create file with our form. src/form index.js mkdir src/formtouch src/form/index.js In real app, you will use and the best config is . With all scope of rules, you should split code into files. All JSX code you should keep in files. After looking into project structure you will know what each file does. eslint airbnb eslint config js/jsx *.jsx But using for our small lazy example we can make all code in files. create-react-app *.js Our simple form will be like this: React, { Component } 'react'; import from App Component {render() { (<form><h1>Our form example</h1><div><textarea /></div><div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div></form>);}} class extends return App; export default We need to update for adding our form: src/App.js React, { Component } 'react'; logo './logo.svg'; './App.css';** ** App Component {render() { (<div className="App"><header className="App-header"><img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" /><h1 className="App-title">Welcome to React</h1></header> </div>);}} import from import from import import Form from './form'; class extends return <Form /> App; export default And run command: start Here we just have a textarea input field and submit button. We can enter any text and press submit. But how can we get entered text? Now we have uncontrolled textarea component. To get entered text we can use but it’s not a react way. To work with react like a pro we need to use state. react ref links Let’s update our component and make it smart: React, { Component } 'react'; import from App Component {constructor(props) { (props); .state = {text: '',};} class extends super this onTextChange = (event) => {  
  **this**.setState({ text: event.target.value });  
};  

render() {  
    **return** (  
        <form>  
            <h1>Our form example</h1>  
            <div>  
                <textarea onChange={**this**.onTextChange}>  
                    {**this**.state.text}  
                </textarea>  
            </div>  
            <div>  
                <input type="submit" value="Submit" />  
            </div>  
        </form>  
    );  
} } App; export default Now we can get entered value but what about submit button? We should process entered value: React, { Component } 'react'; import from App Component {constructor(props) { (props); .state = {text: '',};} class extends super this onTextChange = (event) => {  
  **this**.setState({ text: event.target.value });  
};  

onFormSubmit = (event) => {  
    event.preventDefault();  
    alert(**this**.state.text);  
};  

render() {  
    **return** (  
        <form onSubmit={**this**.onFormSubmit}>  
            <h1>Our form example</h1>  
            <div>  
                <textarea onChange={**this**.onTextChange}>  
                    {**this**.state.text}  
                </textarea>  
            </div>  
            <div>  
                <input type="submit" value="Submit" />  
            </div>  
        </form>  
    );  
} } App; export default I added form submit handler. If we enter some test text and press submit we see an alert with the entered text: In real app, you can make ajax request instead of alert. So we see what is controlled and uncontrolled components — in our case it’s textarea. And we see what is smart component or container. In real production app if you want to be a pro you need to split logic into single responsibility components. In our case it’s splitting our big smart component into stateless component (or stupid component in some docs) and container. We get at least two files each with own single responsibility: stateless component will be just a view layer and container will be responsible for the state. Let’s create , and integrate it to our form: FormComponent FormContainer touch src/form/formComponenttouch src/form/formContainer And our code: FormComponent: React, { Component } 'react'; import from FormComponent Component {render() { (<form onSubmit={ .props.onFormSubmit}><h1>Our form example</h1><div><textarea onChange={ .props.onTextChange}>{ .props.text}</textarea></div><div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div></form>);}} class extends return this this this FormComponent; export default FormContainer: React, { Component } 'react'; import from FormContainer = FormComponent => { App Component {constructor(props) { (props); .state = {text: '',};} const return class extends super this onTextChange = (event) => {  
        **this**.setState({ text: event.target.value });  
    };  

    onFormSubmit = (event) => {  
        event.preventDefault();  
        alert(**this**.state.text);  
    };  

    render() {  
        **return** (  
            <FormComponent  
                text={**this**.state.text}  
                onTextChange={**this**.onTextChange}  
                onFormSubmit={**this**.onFormSubmit}  
            />  
        );  
    }  
} }; FormContainer; export default And our form: React, { Component } 'react'; FormContainer './formContainer'; FormComponent './formComponent'; import from import from import from Form = FormContainer(FormComponent); const App Component {render() { (<Form />);}} class extends return App; export default Here we see some interesting cases: we just split code and for stateless FormComponent we put state and handlers as properties. FormContainer does not render jsx code. It just puts state and handlers to FormComponent. FormContainer is not a react component. It’s high order component (HOC) — wrapper function. We put component as a parameter to function and it returns react component. HOC is an interesting pattern for react development. You can write your app in totally function way. Just imagine your react component can be just a JS function: props => jsx Don’t forget this arrow function. Let’s update our form component and make it functional: React 'react'; import from FormComponent = props => (<form onSubmit={props.onFormSubmit}><h1>Our form example</h1><div><textarea onChange={props.onTextChange}>{props.text}</textarea></div><div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div></form>); const FormComponent; export default Here we have a function. It gets props and returns JSX code. Less code, it’s more declarative. But what about our container? Should it be still a class? Working with redux it can be totally functional. Redux is a storage for global state. In some cases you will work with local state and you will create a classes. But speaking about declarative code don’t forget that we are too lazy for writing all code by ourselves. Our container is a HOC and there are a lot of production ready HOCs. The most interesting library for that is . You can find a lot of examples if you open . recompose documentation Next, I want to show how to make our container more functional. But first we should install it: npm i -S recompose or yarn add recompose After we can change our container. We will use withStateHandlers() { withStateHandlers } 'recompose'; import from FormContainer = withStateHandlers(({ text = '' }) => ({ text }),{onTextChange: () => event => ({text: event.target.value,}),onFormSubmit: ({ text }) => (event) => {event.preventDefault();alert(text);},},); const FormContainer; export default Again, less code, it’s more declarative. And in our case it’s functional. We even don’t need to import react because it’s just JS code. If we run our app we see the same results: So we just used ready recompose HOC for working with local state without making it manually. We finished our goals for this part: we saw controlled and uncontrolled components, stateless(functional) and smart (stateful) components — containers. We created own HOC and found a lot of ready HOCs created by other developers to make our development more faster and make our lazy life more easier :) Next step is adding redux… To add redux in our app as any other dependency we should first install it. In our case we need redux and to use it with react. react-redux yarn add redux react-redux And one thing — redux-logger: yarn add redux-logger It’s useful for debugging. Let’s create our store: touch src/store.js With next code: { createStore, applyMiddleware } 'redux'; logger 'redux-logger'; import from import from reducers './reducers'; import from store = createStore(reducers,applyMiddleware(logger)); const store; export default And reducers: touch src/reducers.js For now, it’s empty, but we will add reducer for our form component later: { combineReducers } 'redux'; import from combineReducers({}); export default Next step is creating provider for app — : src/index.js React 'react'; ReactDOM 'react-dom'; { Provider } 'react-redux'; './index.css'; App './App'; store './store'; registerServiceWorker './registerServiceWorker'; import from import from import from import import from import from import from ReactDOM.render( document.getElementById('root'));registerServiceWorker(); <Provider store={store}><App /></Provider>, It makes the store available to all container components in the application without passing it explicitly. You only need to use it once when you render the root component. And now we need to create , and . action types action creators, reducer But before we need to think about our actions: we need to change text submit our form. Action types: touch src/form/types.js With next code: FORM_TEXT = '@@form/TEXT'; FORM_SUBMIT = '@@form/SUBMIT'; export const export const In real production app you can create a lot of types/actions and each time you will have a naming problem. So if you don’t want to have a collision problems you need to add suffix to your types. I use @@moduleName/TYPE notation. In our case for form module I use , for example: or . @@form/TYPE @@form/TEXT @@form/SUBMIT Action creators: touch src/form/actions.js With code: { FORM_TEXT, FORM_SUBMIT } './types'; import from textAction = text => ({type: FORM_TEXT,text,}); export const submitAction = () => ({type: FORM_SUBMIT,}); export const And reducer: touch src/form/reducer.js With code: { FORM_TEXT } './types'; import from defaultState = {text: '',}; const (state = defaultState, action) => { (action.type) { FORM_TEXT: { ...state, ...action }; : state;}}; export default switch case return default return And don’t forget to add this reducer to global reducers (in next articles I’ll show how to use code splitting and reducer injecting). src/reducers.js: { combineReducers } 'redux'; import from form './form/reducer'; import from combineReducers({ form }); export default Next step is changing form container: { connect } 'react-redux'; { textAction, submitAction } './actions'; import from import from mapStateToProps = state => state.form; mapDispatchToProps = { textAction, submitAction }; const const connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps); export default is a HOC, created to connect store to components. It gets parameters (mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps) and returns HOC. Connect is a selector, it filters data from the store. mapStateToProps creates dispatchers for actions. Using dispatchers you can change state. mapDispatchToProps A small changes of form component: React 'react'; import from FormComponent = props => (<form onSubmit={(event) => {event.preventDefault();props.submitAction();alert(props.text);}}><h1>Our form example</h1><div><textareaonChange={event => props.textAction(event.target.value)}value={props.text}/></div><div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div></form>); const FormComponent; export default Not so nice code as the previous example but here we have a global state and it’s still functional. So we are done. Let’s start app and see results: And submit: The same results. As you can see we didn’t make reducer for form submit action. Because form submitting usually finishes by sending ajax request or making other side effects. And it’s an interesting point ( , , , …) for another article. redux thunk redux-saga redux-promise redux-observable All console text we see thanks to . redux-logger Each time working with redux we need to make the same again and again: create , , , even . Imagine if someone makes it for us. action types action creators reducer container Try my small project: . redux-lazy Install it: yarn add redux-lazy Next create file: rl.js touch src/form/rl.js With next code: RL 'redux-lazy'; import from rl = RL('form');rl.addAction('text', { text: '' });rl.addAction('submit', {}); const new result = rl.flush(); const result; export default Now we can delete , , and . We have all this stuff from the box. types.js actions.js reducer.js form container Update src/index.js React 'react'; import from FormComponent './formComponent'; rl './rl'; import from import from Form = rl.Container(FormComponent); const App = () => <Form />; const App; export default Here we make functional component and we get Container from redux-lazy. src/reducers.js { combineReducers } 'redux'; import from rl './form/rl'; import from combineReducers({ [rl.nameSpace]: rl.reducer }); export default Here we get namespace and reducer from redux-lazy. And small updates in from component: React 'react'; import from FormComponent = props => (<form onSubmit={(event) => {event.preventDefault();props.submitAction();alert(props.text);}}><h1>Our form example</h1><div><textareaonChange={event => props.textAction( )}value={props.text}/></div><div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div></form>); const { text: event.target.value } FormComponent; export default And results: You can get a lot of stuff from redux-lazy: {nameSpace,types,actions,defaultState,reducer,mapStateToProps,mapDispatchToProps,Container,} = rl.flush(); const So just to repeat: Create redux-lazy object: const rl = new RL(‘form’); Add actions: rl.addAction(‘text’, { text: ‘’ }); the code. Flush That’s all. I think it’s useful for any (not only lazy) react/redux developer. To make possibility run it on your PC I created a . github repository To run it locally just make next steps: git clone cd react-redux-exampleyarnntl https://github.com/evheniy/react-redux-example.git _In this article I’m continue to discuss creating react redux app using redux-lazy._medium.com React — redux for lazy developers.

This article is the follow up of Angular 2+ and Ruby on Rails user authentication App Architecture Components Home component (Welcome Page) Toolbar component Auth dialog component Login from component Register form component Profile component Separating Login and Register forms into different components is useful, because we can reuse them in other pages if needed (for example dedicated login and register pages without a dialog) Routes Home route Profile route Route Guards : will check if user is logged in, if not, will redirect to home Profile route guard Services : will manage login, register, logout, user profile data, verify token authenticity, and check wether the user is logged in or not TokenAuthService Home Component and Home Route Let’s start by generating our first component, Home, with Angular CLI: $ ng g c home g = generate and c = component This will create ./src/app/ folder with home component class, its template and stylesheet, Angular CLI will also add it to Main App Module’s declarations array automatically. home Now we need to create a route for it, open ./src/app/app-routing.module.ts Import the HomeComponent: import {HomeComponent} from "./home/home.component"; and add home route to routes array: const routes: Routes = [{path: '',children: []}, ]; {path: 'home',component: HomeComponent} We’ll also make it the default route: const routes: Routes = [{path: '',component: HomeComponent,pathMatch: 'full'},{path: 'home',component: HomeComponent}]; Now if we go to HomeComponent will be displayed by default http://localhost:4200 Toolbar Component Same procedure for Toolbar Component: $ ng g c toolbar Setup toolbar’s html template: For now we’ll display all actions, we’ll implement the conditional state later. Change to something more appealing: ./src/app/home/home.component.html Edit as follows to display our toolbar and wrap the router outlet in class: ./src/app/app.component.html container And here’s what we get so far: Auth Dialog Now we need to create the which will display Login/Register forms: AuthDialogComponent $ ng g c auth-dialog Let’s edit the AuthDialogComponent file in ./src/app/auth-dialog/auth-dialog.component.ts Auth Dialog Component will have an decorator (line 11) , it takes 2 possible values, ‘login’ or ‘register’, this will allow us to pick the initial form to display when the dialog shows up (login or register form). The default value of this input is ‘login’. Input authMode (line 12) is an event emitter, required by Materialize Dialog Directive, we’ll emit events on it to open or close our dialog. modalActions (line 18) method takes a as its parameter, will set the current auth mode and display the dialog, if no parameter is passed, login will be the default. openDialog mode and methods will help us to display the login or register forms conditionally. isLoginMode isRegisterMode Edit this dialog’s template, : ./src/app/auth-dialog/auth-dialog.component.html On line 2, we are using , and passing event emitter for its input to be able to control the dialog by emitting events on it. materialize modal directive modalActions materializeActions For now all this dialog is displaying is its current mode on line 17, and the ability to switch modes on lines 23 and 26. The structural directive takes a boolean expression, if the expression is , it will display the node, or hide it otherwise (remove it from the DOM). *ngIf true Let’s display this dialog when we click on register or login actions in the toolbar. In include the auth-dialog component, and create click events on Login and Register actions to open the Auth Dialog: ./src/app/toolbar/toolbar.component.html (line 24) is a reference to the AuthDialogComponent of our ToolbarComponent view, it will allow us to access the AuthDialogComponent class from the ToolbarComponent class. #authDialog ./src/app/toolbar/toolbar.component.ts: import {Component, OnInit, } from '@angular/core'; ViewChild import {AuthDialogComponent} from "../auth-dialog/auth-dialog.component"; @Component({selector: 'app-toolbar',templateUrl: './toolbar.component.html',styleUrls: ['./toolbar.component.sass']})export class ToolbarComponent implements OnInit { @ViewChild('authDialog') authDialog: AuthDialogComponent; constructor() { } ngOnInit() {} presentAuthDialog(mode?: 'login'| 'register'){this.authDialog.openDialog(mode);} } decorator will reference the from our template so we can access its methods and attributes directly from our class. ViewChild AuthDialogComponent ToolbarComponent method takes an parameter , AuthDialogComponenet’s method defaults the mode to ‘login’, so if we want to open the login dialog, we can just call without any params. presentAuthDialog optional mode (notice the question mark) openDialog presentAuthDialog() So this is what we get for the Auth Dialog so far: We’ll use the to display the correct actions in the toolbar depending on wether or not the user is authenticated, for that, we can use which returns true of the user is logged in. Token Service the userSignedIn() method Import and inject into our : Angular2TokenService ToolbarComponent Now we can use it on our toolbar template to hide/show actions conditionally, we’ll also attach the method to its action: signOut Login & Register forms We’re almost finished. Let’s generate login and register form components. $ ng g c login-form $ ng g c register-form Login form template We have two text inputs (email & password) both of which are required for form to have a valid state. We are using Angular’s two way data binding on line 12 and 24 to bind the input values to signInUser object in our component class, which means the values will be updated when they are modified in the HTML form by the user, and also updated in the view if they are modified programatically in the component class. Submit button (line 31) will be in disabled state unless the form becomes valid (line 32). Login form component Login form will have an output (line 16), which is an event fired when login request completes, so the parent components can listen and act on it. onFormResult We’ll inject the into our component (line 17) and use its method when the form is submitted. When the login action completes, we’ll emit an event on output, with a payload containing the result (lines 31 and 37), this will notify the parent components. Token Service signIn onFormResult Register form template Pretty similar to login from, but have have an additional password confirmation text field and its validation. Register form component Similar to login form, register form has an Output event emitter, , that fires when register request completes. onFormResult Hooking up the outputs in auth dialog In the auth dialog component class, create the event handlers for events emitted by and form components, if the the login/register was successful, close the dialog, otherwise display the error returned by our RoR server in an alert window: onFormResult login register Final Auth Dialog Notice the toolbar actions updating their state automatically when user logs in and out.

How computer vision is changing everything An irregular round-up of inspirations and disruptions in art, advertising, social media, urban play and human computer interaction. The camera is fast becoming the the most important and powerful sensors we have, with face detection, image recognition and motion detection driving creativity in new directions and rapidly changing the world around us. From , to and , to and , , , and , we’re only just getting started. driving robots on mars shopping war dance art interaction design immersive realities machine learning surveillance This is by no means a comprehensive breakdown of all the cool stuff that’s happening in computer vision, but here’s some of the cooler stuff that’s been happening to hopefully get you inspired: The Computer Vision innovators: The computer vision was, interestingly enough, also one of the first interactive artworks. Developed between 1969 and 1975, ’s legendary Videoplace, was motivated by his belief that the entire human body ought to have a role in our interactions with computers.
