Falcor: Simplifying Your Data

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Claim: Falcor treats local and remote data the same and handles fetching and caching for you. Live specifics include model.get paths and JSON Graph as the data shape, a client cache with time-to-live caching, and support for ranges for pagination. Components declare queries that are unioned so parents don’t have to tunnel props. Implementation notes: node middleware that aggregates many microservices, battle-tested at Netflix scale, open source as of 2015.
