connect.js explained
// connect() is a function that injects Redux-related props into your component.
// You can inject data and callbacks that change that data by dispatching actions.
function connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) {
// It lets us inject component as the last step so people can use it as a decorator.
// Generally you don't need to worry about it.
return function (WrappedComponent) {
// It returns a component
return class extends React.Component {

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Clojure deftype, defrecord, defprotocol
  • defprotocol: defines an interface
  • deftype: create a bare-bones object which implements a protocol
  • defrecord: creates an immutable persistent map which implements a protocol

Typically you'll use defrecord (or even a basic map);
unless you need some specific Java inter-op,
where by you'll want to use deftype instead.

Note: defprotocol allows you to add new abstractions in a clean way Rather than (like OOP) having polymorphism on the class itself,
