Developing With Golgi: A Comparison With React.js

This tutorial aims to show how to develop an application using Golgi rather than React. To that end, it is based around one of the well-known, documented React Examples: Thinking in React. In this tutorial we’ll demonstrate how and why you’d build the exact same example using Golgi.

This tutorial has a number of chapters:

• Chapter 1 looks at how you can use the basic features of Golgi to implement the example application’s basic display-only functionality
• Chapter 2 looks at the modifications needed to implement the application’s interactive filtering functionality
• Chapter 3 optimises the application’s implementation by using Golgi’s built-in state map functionality
• Chapter 4 further optimises the application’s implementation by using Golgi’s built-in MutationObserver functionality
• Chapter 5 shows you how to optimise the performance of the example application, in particular its initial load-time, by using Golgi’s optional server-side tools
