View latest React comments on Reddit (with React/Redux)

View via Github Pages at https://samvincent.github.io/react-sample-app/

NOTE: Github Pages does not allow us to enable CORS for Reddit, so Safari will not retrieve the comments. Chrome seems to be happy to allow the requests.

Build with npm run build

Implement the comment section of Reddit threads via its official API.

Features

• Single page application (no refreshes).
• Render Reddit’s "reactjs" thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs.json).
• Clicking an item should render its discussion thread.
• Render a item’s discussion thread (Reddit comment trees) (http://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/{thread ID}.json, ex: http://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/4m16ud.json).
• Allow sorting of comments by upvotes, time, and upvote/downvote ratio.

Use fetch to asynchronously retrieve data which is then passed to the reducer for addition to the applications state.

Sorting functionality is processed recursively through comment depth at the container level using the stores global sort key and the thread's comment list to avoid unnecessarily updating the state tree.

Use Radium inline styling for components so styles are declared and scoped with a component. Reduces cluttering of the css folder and makes it trivial to delete a component and have the no longer necessary styles removed at the same time.

Use CSS modules where scss provides a development speed improvement.

React logo was just a quick experiment to see how css 3D translations perform.

• Media queries implementation so UI works across mobile devices
• Removal of development only logger middleware
• Testing actions (potentially with redux-saga implementation)
• Testing of components, containers, reducers
• Network connection error message when disconnected
• Loading message while fetching
• Navigating through additional pages of threads and comments
• Use ReactCSSTransitionGroup for re-ordering on sort key change
• Allow for selection of alternate subreddits of interest

Uses react-hot-loader for immediate feedback while developing
