React Transmit

Relay-inspired library based on Promises instead of GraphQL.

Inspired by: Building the Facebook Newsfeed with Relay (React blog)

Features

• Implements the official Relay API methods.
• Higher-order component (HOC) syntax just like Relay.
• Declare composable Promise-based queries in HOCs.
• Isomorphic architecture supports server-side rendering.
• Works with React 0.12 and 0.13, and React Native!

Installation

	# For web or Node:
	npm install react-transmit
	
	# For React Native:
	npm install react-transmit-native

Usage

Newsfeed.js (read the comments)

import React    from "react";
import Transmit from "react-transmit";  // Import Transmit.
import Story    from "./Story";

const Newsfeed = React.createClass({
	render () {
		const stories = this.props.stories;  // Transmit props are guaranteed.
		
		return stories.map((story) => <Story story={story} />); // Pass down props.
	}
});

// Higher-order component that will do queries for the above React component.
export default Transmit.createContainer(Newsfeed, {
	queryParams: {
		count: 10  // Default query params.
	},
	queries: {
		// Query names become the Transmit prop names. 
		stories (queryParams) {
			// This "stories" query returns a Promise composed of 3 other Promises.
			return Promise.all([
				Story.getQuery("story", {storyId: 1}),
				Story.getQuery("story", {storyId: 2}),
				Story.getQuery("story", {storyId: 3})
			]);
		}
	}
});

Story.js (read the comments)

import React    from "react";
import Transmit from "react-transmit";  // Import Transmit.

const Story = React.createClass({
	render () {
		const story = this.props.story; // Passed down props.
		
		return <p>{story.content}</p>;
	}
});

export default Transmit.createContainer(Story, {
	queries: {
		// This "story" query returns a Fetch API promise.
		story (queryParams) {
			return fetch("https://some.api/stories/" + queryParams.storyId).then(resp => resp.json());
		}
	}
});
