From Author:

At Knock we power real-time in-app messaging experiences via our React SDK, enabling product teams to drop in components and have fully featured in-app notification feeds, modals, banners, and more instantly available. In this talk, we'll take a look at how we structured our React library in a composable way, giving teams the power to use our components out of the box, override styling with their own tokens, or bring their own UI components via hooks. We'll dive into how we structured our SDK to provide maximum flexibility for engineering teams, while preserving ease of maintenance.

This talk has been presented at React Summit US 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

All of this comes out-of-the-box, supporting light mode and dark mode. Easily show modals and announcements with no additional code. Own the rendered components for performance and customization. Build custom components with minimal code. Use hooks for fetching data and real-time updates. Noc provides a schema for strong data integrity.
