At Code Yellow we write frontend heavy apps. This means that the browser is responsible for all the rendering, and the backend only handles API requests.
In the last few weeks we have been busy refactoring a large part of our backend, frontend and development workflow to ensure the best technologies available are used.
In this article I want to highlight the changes we made to our frontend stack. As such, this article is intended for frontend developers.

It’s quite common to pass variables from server to client. Common uses are bootstrapping data, syncing config setting etc. Consider the following scenario: a single page app where a user logs in and refreshes the current page. You want the user to still be logged in. The most commonly used practise is to put it in a script tag:
<script type="text/javascript"> var userId = 1; </script> This way you introduce a global variable userId.
