backbone-react-component

ith nested models and collections as related models. A REST API generator like Flask-Restless [4] creates these responses with a single efficient query. You have the flexibility to either sync all models before rendering, or render any component without all data already being fetched, and have it automatically re-render when loaded. Components subscribe and unsubscribe to model events at the proper points in the component lifecycle using react-backbone-component.[5] I missed this and wrote my own version [6] before I found it, but mine is cleaner, slightly more featureful, and presents a simpler API. Anyway, this requires some work to pull together, but I think it presents a viable alternative that: - uses existing libraries that do one thing well and allows as much departure from each elements of the architecture as you want - works with react-router, which is the shit - works with your existing REST API Relay looks wonderful, but it's possible to build the abstractions that do pretty much the same thing that support existing REST APIs.
