How we incorporate next and cloudfront (2018-04-21)

Feel free to contact me at robert.balicki@gmail.com or tweet at me @statisticsftw

This is a rough outline of how we utilize next.js and S3/Cloudfront. Hope it helps!

It assumes some knowledge of AWS.

// WARNING: Completely untested code. it might not work and/or it might have
// things that don't work well. Just made for illustrational purposes

// redux-observable shines the most with complex async stuff, like WebSockets
// but many of us will still use it for more modest things like AJAX requests.
// In these cases, there can be a ton of repetitive boilerplate. So this is a
// simple example of applying some abstractions and conventions to make it easier.
// THAT SAID, since abstractions cause indirection it can make it harder for
// someone to come along later and know how something works. Weigh the costs
// and remember, this example isn't a suggestion of the actual code you should

import React from 'react';
import { css as EmotionCSS } from 'react-emotion';

import { jsxstyleFactory } from './jsxstyleFactory';

const cx = (css, styles, className) =>
  EmotionCSS([{ ...css, ...styles }, className]);

const jsxstyle = jsxstyleFactory(cx);
export const Box = jsxstyle.Box;

Say we have a prop.users of the shape:

const users = [
    {username: 'bob', age: 30, tags: [{name: 'work', id: 1}, {name: 'boring', id: 2}]},
    {username: 'jim', age: 25, tags: [{name: 'home', id: 3}, {name: 'fun', id: 4}]},
    {username: 'jane', age: 30, tags: [{name: 'vacation', id: 5}, {name: 'fun', id: 4}]}
];
