We’re all here because we love React, and we love it because it’s a simple and intuitive system for creating beautiful, interactive websites. What if building full-stack apps could be just as simple and intuitive? Managing data and resources in your web applications doesn't have to be complex and time-consuming! Learn how to connect databases, APIs, and other services to your apps in minutes to make real-time interactive experiences for your users. In this session, you'll start with a blank page and end with a portfolio-worthy app and the skills you need to build your next app.

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

Full Stack GraphQL In The Cloud With Neo4j Aura, Next.js, & Vercel

WorkshopFree

William Lyon

In this workshop we will build and deploy a full stack GraphQL application using Next.js, Neo4j, and Vercel. Using a knowledge graph of news articles we will first build a GraphQL API using Next.js API routes and the Neo4j GraphQL Library. Next, we focus on the front-end, exploring how to use GraphQL for data fetching with a Next.js application. Lastly, we explore how to add personalization and content recommendation in our GraphQL API to serve relevant articles to our users, then deploy our application to the cloud using Vercel and Neo4j Aura.

Table of contents:
- Next.js overview and getting started with Next.js
- API Routes with Next.js & building a GraphQL API
- Using the Neo4j GraphQL Library
- Working with Apollo Client and GraphQL data fetching in Next.js
- Deploying with Vercel and Neo4j Aura

Gavin Ray

The frontend ecosystem moves at a breakneck pace. This workshop is intended to equip participants with an understanding of the state of the Vue 3 + GraphQL ecosystem, exploring that ecosystem – hands on, and through the lens of full-stack application development.

Table of contents
- Participants will use Hasura to build out a realtime GraphQL API backed Postgres. Together we'll walk through consuming it from a frontend and making the front-end reactive, subscribed to data changes.
- Additionally, we will look at commonly-used tools in the Vue GraphQL stack (such as Apollo Client and Urql), discuss some lesser-known alternatives, and touch on problems frequently encountered when starting out.
- Multiple patterns for managing stateful data and their tradeoffs will be outlined during the workshop, and a basic implementation for each pattern discussed will be shown.
Workshop level

NOTE: No prior experience with GraphQL is necessary, but may be helpful to aid understanding. The fundamentals will be covered.

This Talk introduces the Remix architecture patterns for web applications, with over 50% of participants using Remix professionally. The migration from single page applications to Remix involves step-by-step refactoring and offers flexibility in deployment options. Scalability can be achieved by distributing the database layer and implementing application caching. The backend for frontend pattern simplifies data fetching, and Remix provides real-time capabilities for collaborative features through WebSocket servers and Server-SendEvents.

Remixing Your Stack in a Monorepo Workspace

Juri Strumpflohner

GDE in Web Technologies & Angular, core member of Nx

Let's talk about remixing our stack in a Monorepo workspace, which allows for incremental migration and is suitable for transitioning from a Next.js app to a remix stack. Refactoring may be required for feature-specific and Next.js-coupled components, but the process is simplified because the features have already been moved out. Configuring the Monorepo to reference packages locally and linking them to the Next.js application is necessary. Nx provides benefits like fast refreshing, pre-configured setups, and features like local and remote caching.
