  • Strategies for server-side rendering of asynchronously initialized React.js components
    4 projects | /r/codehunter | 1 Nov 2021
    React-async. This approach is perfect. It lets me simply define in a special function in each component how to initialize the state (doesn't matter whether synchronously or asynchronously) and these functions are called as the hierarchy is being rendered to HTML. It works in a way that a component is not rendered until the state is completely initialized. The problem is that it requires Fibers which is, as far as I understand, a Node.js extension that alters the standard JavaScript behavior. Although I really like the result, it still seems to me that instead of finding a solution we changed the rules of the game. And I think we shouldn't be forced to do that to use this core feature of React.js. I'm also not sure about the general support of this solution. Is it possible to use Fiber on standard Node.js web hosting?

    It would be cool for the Fiber Proposal to be adopted into the standard, but it's been at stage -1 for several years now. So it's not what they don’t implement it, but on the contrary, even the extension for NodeJS node-fibers was recently completely broken.
  • How to wrap async function calls into a sync function in Node.js or Javascript?
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 29 Mar 2022
    Asynchronous function using callback/promise is the DNA of JavasSript and Node.js. Any non-trivial JS app is probably permeated with this coding style. But this practice can easily lead to so called callback pyramid of doom. Even worse, if any code in any caller in the call chain depends on the result of the async function, those code has to be wrapped in callback function as well, imposing a coding style constraint on caller. From time to time I find the need to encapsulate an async function (often provided in a 3rd party library) into a sync function in order to avoid massive global re-factoring. Searching for a solution on this subject usually ended up with Node Fibers or npm packages derived from it. But Fibers just cannot solve the problem I am facing. Even the example provided by Fibers' author illustrated the deficiency:
