Notes

Translations

• Pagination component
  • "of" is a prop – this feels gross
  • Should Paragon have to do the work (concatenating strings)?
• Let's address this once we feel pain a second time

Linting

• Pre-commit hooks: pro/con
  • Not useful for WIP PRs
  • Let's get rid of commitlint (except on squash commits)
  • Let's get rid of precommit hooks
    • Run them only...
      • Based on a flag?
      • Based on ~/.git settings?
      • Or just run the script yourself
• --fix: let's all just stay aware of this
• Prettier?
  • ASI optional
  • Advantage: you don't have to think about linting
  • Can we use the same rules that exist within eslint?
    • https://prettier.io/docs/en/eslint.html
  • It would be nice if it just handled --fix

State of Decoupled Frontend

• Discovery: kicking off today
  • Data exists in JSON, not in APIs yet
  • Will likely serve data from the discovery service
• For now: all new greenfield frontend should use create-edx-react-app
  • If it doesn't meet your needs, PR against cookiecutter or discuss at FedX
• SSR
  • https://github.com/jaredpalmer/razzle ?
  • Don't need to answer this yet, but eventually we will
  • Gatsby – perhaps not the best choice
    • Alasdair has tried it, didn't work well
    • Seemed not well maintained
  • https://github.com/walmartlabs/electrode?
  • https://github.com/zeit/next.js/
    • Adam vouches for this based on a couple hours of playing with it

DECOUPLED LMS FUTURE????

• Let's talk about this (next or following week)
