Isomorphic Core
Isomorphic refers to javascript that can be run on both the client and the server.
This is shared code for mail and utilities that is designed to run both on deployed cloud servers and from within the Nylas Mail client.
Use through a regular import: import iso-core from 'isomorphic-core'
It is required as a dependency in the package.json of other modules.
This library isn't on the npm registry, but works as a dependency thanks to
lerna bootstrap
See index.js for what gets explicitly exported by this library.
Important Usage Notes:
Since this code runs in both the client and the server, you must be careful with what libraries you use. Some common gotchas:
- You can't use
NylasEnvorNylasExports. These are injected only in the client. - If you require a 3rd party library, it must be added to the "dependencies" of
isomorphic-core's
package.json - You may use modern javascript syntax. Both the client and server get compiled with the same .babelrc setting
