Get a React Component by DOM Node
15.5.2018
Retrieving a React component’s DOM node is fairly simple from within the component itself, but what if you want to work backward: retrieve a component’s instance by DOM node? This is a task that the old Dojo Toolkit’s Dijit framework allowed with the dojo.byId method, so it made...
How to Get a React Component’s Element
14.5.2018

Vertically Centering with Flexbox
8.5.2018
Vertically centering sibling child contents is a task we’ve long needed on the web but has always seemed way more difficult than it should be. We initially used tables to accomplish the task, then moved on to CSS and JavaScript tricks because table layout was horribly inefficient —...
React and autofocus
7.5.2018
While I love ReactJS, I can say that I sometimes find interactions that were easy during the pre-ReactJS are annoyingly difficult or at least “indirect”. One example is properly ensuring that a given <input> element gets focused when a button in a different component...

This is an extract from chapter 11 of Ashley Davis’s book Data Wrangling with JavaScript now available on the Manning Early Access Program. I absolutely love this idea as there is so much data visualization stuff on the web that relies on fully functioning client side JavaScript and potentially...
