Video: Config Driven UI using ReactJS

Joban Singh

Software engineer at Microsoft Azure

The video introduces the concept of config driven UI, highlighting its ability to create dynamic interfaces using JSON configuration files instead of hard-coding. This method allows developers to specify the type, size, and position of UI components, making it easier to customize and reuse elements across different scenarios, known as config driven development. In ReactJS, this is implemented using React Hooks and custom components, with the LayoutRenderer playing a crucial role by parsing and rendering the UI based on the configuration file. The video also explains how vertical and horizontal containers stack elements, enabling complex layouts in config driven UI React applications. The approach's flexibility is emphasized, as developers can modify the UI by simply altering the configuration file, without changing the source code. This technique is beneficial for creating scalable and customizable UIs, offering significant advantages in terms of reusability and ease of updates.

Adrien Baron

Maker of clashofstats.com, Vue GWT and Tiny Frontend

This talk discusses the usage of Microfrontends in Remix and introduces the Tiny Frontend library. Kazoo, a used car buying platform, follows a domain-driven design approach and encountered issues with granular slicing. Tiny Frontend aims to solve the slicing problem and promotes type safety and compatibility of shared dependencies. The speaker demonstrates how Tiny Frontend works with server-side rendering and how Remix can consume and update components without redeploying the app. The talk also explores the usage of micro frontends and the future support for Webpack Module Federation in Remix.

Understanding React’s Fiber Architecture

Tejas Kumar

Author of the "Fluent React" bestselling book, software engineer with 23 years of experience, and host of the developer-loved ConTejas Code podcast.

This Talk explores React's internal jargon, specifically fiber, which is an internal unit of work for rendering and committing. Fibers facilitate efficient updates to elements and play a crucial role in the reconciliation process. The work loop, complete work, and commit phase are essential steps in the rendering process. Understanding React's internals can help with optimizing code and pull request reviews. React 18 introduces the work loop sync and async functions for concurrent features and prioritization. Fiber brings benefits like async rendering and the ability to discard work-in-progress trees, improving user experience.

RemixConf EU discussed full stack components and their benefits, such as marrying the backend and UI in the same file. The talk demonstrated the implementation of a combo box with search functionality using Remix and the Downshift library. It also highlighted the ease of creating resource routes in Remix and the importance of code organization and maintainability in full stack components. The speaker expressed gratitude towards the audience and discussed the future of Remix, including its acquisition by Shopify and the potential for collaboration with Hydrogen.

The Eternal Sunshine of the Zero Build Pipeline

DX Engineer at alwaysdata

For many years, we have migrated all our devtools to Node.js for the sake of simplicity: a common language (JS/TS), a large ecosystem (NPM), and a powerful engine. In the meantime, we moved a lot of computation tasks to the client-side thanks to PWA and JavaScript Hegemony.
So we made Webapps for years, developing with awesome reactive frameworks and bundling a lot of dependencies. We progressively moved from our simplicity to complex apps toolchains. We've become the new Java-like ecosystem. It sucks.
It's 2021, we've got a lot of new technologies to sustain our Users eXperience. It's time to have a break and rethink our tools rather than going faster and faster in the same direction. It's time to redesign the Developer eXperience. It's time for a bundle-free dev environment. It's time to embrace a new frontend building philosophy, still with our lovely JavaScript.
Introducing Snowpack, Vite, Astro, and other Bare Modules tools concepts!

Composition vs Configuration: How to Build Flexible, Resilient and Future-proof Components

Thomas Findlay

Findlay Web Tech

Today's Talk discusses building flexible, resilient, and future-proof React components using composition and configuration approaches. The composition approach allows for flexibility without excessive conditional logic by using multiple components and passing props. The context API can be used for variant styling, allowing for appropriate styling and class specification. Adding variants and icons is made easy by consuming the variant context. The composition and configuration approaches can be combined for the best of both worlds.

In this workshop, we discuss the merits of serverless architecture and how it can be applied to the AI space. We'll explore options around building serverless RAG applications for a more lambda-esque approach to AI. Next, we'll get hands on and build a sample CRUD app that allows you to store information and query it using an LLM with Workers AI, Vectorize, D1, and Cloudflare Workers.

High-performance Next.js

Workshop

Michele Riva

Next.js is a compelling framework that makes many tasks effortless by providing many out-of-the-box solutions. But as soon as our app needs to scale, it is essential to maintain high performance without compromising maintenance and server costs. In this workshop, we will see how to analyze Next.js performances, resources usage, how to scale it, and how to make the right decisions while writing the application architecture.
