# purescript-road-to-react

The book [Road to React](https://www.roadtoreact.com/) is an introductory book

to React in JavaScript.  In early 2020, the book was updated to use

[React Hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html).

The first half of the book iteratively develops a React-based frontend.  Each

chapter gradually introduces more and more functionality from React.  As the

first half of the book comes to an end, you've written a basic frontend that

demonstrates a good deal of the functionality of React.

This repo translates the on-going example from into PureScript, using the

[purescript-react-basic-hooks](https://github.com/spicydonuts/purescript-react-basic-hooks)

library.

## The Code

The original JavaScript code can be found on CodeSandbox

[here](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/the-road-to-learn-react/hacker-stories/tree/hs/Data-Re-Fetching-in-React).

The translated PureScript code can be found [in this repo](./src/App.purs).

## Running

This repo can be built by running the following commands:

```console

# Enter into a Nix shell with all the dependencies available.

$ nix-shell

# Within the nix shell, build the PureScript app with spago.

$ spago build

# Run Parcel to handle the CommonJS modules.

$ parcel index.html

```

`parcel` serves the app on http://localhost:1234/.

If you want to do development interactively, you can start `spago` in one

terminal with a command line `spago build --watch`, and then start `parcel` in

another terminal.  `parcel` sometimes gets autoreloading correct, but sometimes

you explicitly have to refresh the browser window to see changes.

If you don't want to use Nix, it should be possible to install `spago`, the

PureScript compiler, and Parcel with NPM/yarn.
