Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We need to register a default set of tasks, which we set to browserify and uglify."

A block of code is set as follows:

"scripts": {
    "bundle": "browserify -t babelify main.js -o main.dist.js",
    "minify": "..."
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

render() {
    if (this.state.isEditing) {
        return <PageEditor {...this.props} />;
    }

    return <PageView {...this.props} />;
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ npm install --save-dev grunt
$ npm install --save-dev grunt-browserify
$ npm install --save-dev grunt-contrib-uglify
$ npm install --save-dev grunt-contrib-watch

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "To get the most out of JSBin, be sure to set the JavaScript dropdown to ES6/Babel and include the ReactJS scripts from CDNJS."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
