Content is a crucial part of what you build on the web. Modern web technologies brings a lot to the developer experience in terms of building content-driven sites, but how can we improve things for editors and content creators? In this workshop you’ll learn how use Sanity.io to approach structured content modeling, and how to build, iterate, and configure your own CMS to unify data models with efficient and delightful editor experiences. It’s intended for web developers who want to deliver better content experiences for their content teams and clients.

This workshop has been presented at React Advanced 2021, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

Portable Text is a specification for block content that allows the expression of rich text and embedded content such as images and links in a structured JSON format. It's designed to work seamlessly with React and other frameworks by mapping content to components, enabling more granular control and querying capabilities compared to traditional HTML storage.

You can customize the rich text editor in Sanity.io by defining serializers for your specific content types, such as custom styled texts or embedded media. This involves mapping data types to React components and adjusting properties like 'types', 'marks', and 'lists' to control the available formatting options and behaviors in the editor.

Sanity.io offers flexible content structures, real-time collaboration features, and a customizable editor that can be tailored to specific content needs. Its use of structured content enables developers to easily query and integrate data across various platforms, enhancing the ability to deliver a consistent and dynamic user experience.

Sanity.io's image pipeline allows for on-the-fly image transformations via URL parameters. You can specify dimensions, formats, and other properties such as cropping and blurring. The platform also analyzes images to provide metadata like color palettes and lqip, which can be used to optimize loading times and presentation.

Yes, Sanity.io supports role-based access control which can be configured for different user roles and permissions at the document level. Custom permissions on fields and documents can be set up, allowing granular control over who can view or edit specific parts of the content.

You can manage multiple Sanity.io projects by setting up separate project configurations for each client, ensuring data isolation and specific customization. Deployments can be managed through Sanity's CLI or integrated into your CI/CD pipelines. Each project can have its own set of API keys and configurations for billing and access control.

React Performance Debugging Masterclass

Ivan Akulov

Ivan’s first attempts at performance debugging were chaotic. He would see a slow interaction, try a random optimization, see that it didn't help, and keep trying other optimizations until he found the right one (or gave up).
Back then, Ivan didn’t know how to use performance devtools well. He would do a recording in Chrome DevTools or React Profiler, poke around it, try clicking random things, and then close it in frustration a few minutes later. Now, Ivan knows exactly where and what to look for. And in this workshop, Ivan will teach you that too.
Here’s how this is going to work. We’ll take a slow app → debug it (using tools like Chrome DevTools, React Profiler, and why-did-you-render) → pinpoint the bottleneck → and then repeat, several times more. We won’t talk about the solutions (in 90% of the cases, it’s just the ol’ regular useMemo() or memo()). But we’ll talk about everything that comes before – and learn how to analyze any React performance problem, step by step.
(Note: This workshop is best suited for engineers who are already familiar with how useMemo() and memo() work – but want to get better at using the performance tools around React. Also, we’ll be covering interaction performance, not load speed, so you won’t hear a word about Lighthouse 🤐)

With the release of React 18 we finally get the long awaited concurrent rendering. But how is that going to affect your application? What are the benefits of concurrent rendering in React? What do you need to do to switch to concurrent rendering when you upgrade to React 18? And what if you don’t want or can’t use concurrent rendering yet?

There are some behavior changes you need to be aware of! In this workshop we will cover all of those subjects and more.

Join me with your laptop in this interactive workshop. You will see how easy it is to switch to concurrent rendering in your React application. You will learn all about concurrent rendering, SuspenseList, the startTransition API and more.

Maurice de Beijer

The addition of the hooks API to React was quite a major change. Before hooks most components had to be class based. Now, with hooks, these are often much simpler functional components. Hooks can be really simple to use. Almost deceptively simple. Because there are still plenty of ways you can mess up with hooks. And it often turns out there are many ways where you can improve your components a better understanding of how each React hook can be used.You will learn all about the pros and cons of the various hooks. You will learn when to use useState() versus useReducer(). We will look at using useContext() efficiently. You will see when to use useLayoutEffect() and when useEffect() is better.

ReactJS is wildly popular and thus wildly supported. TypeScript is increasingly popular, and thus increasingly supported.

The two together? Not as much. Given that they both change quickly, it's hard to find accurate learning materials.

React+TypeScript, with JetBrains IDEs? That three-part combination is the topic of this series. We'll show a little about a lot. Meaning, the key steps to getting productive, in the IDE, for React projects using TypeScript. Along the way we'll show test-driven development and emphasize tips-and-tricks in the IDE.

Designing Effective Tests With React Testing Library

Featured Workshop

Josh Justice

React Testing Library is a great framework for React component tests because there are a lot of questions it answers for you, so you don’t need to worry about those questions. But that doesn’t mean testing is easy. There are still a lot of questions you have to figure out for yourself: How many component tests should you write vs end-to-end tests or lower-level unit tests? How can you test a certain line of code that is tricky to test? And what in the world are you supposed to do about that persistent act() warning?
In this three-hour workshop we’ll introduce React Testing Library along with a mental model for how to think about designing your component tests. This mental model will help you see how to test each bit of logic, whether or not to mock dependencies, and will help improve the design of your components. You’ll walk away with the tools, techniques, and principles you need to implement low-cost, high-value component tests.
Table of contents- The different kinds of React application tests, and where component tests fit in- A mental model for thinking about the inputs and outputs of the components you test- Options for selecting DOM elements to verify and interact with them- The value of mocks and why they shouldn’t be avoided- The challenges with asynchrony in RTL tests and how to handle them
Prerequisites- Familiarity with building applications with React- Basic experience writing automated tests with Jest or another unit testing framework- You do not need any experience with React Testing Library- Machine setup: Node LTS, Yarn

Routing in React 18 and Beyond

Top Content

Delba de Oliveira

Senior Developer Advocate @ Vercel

Routing in React 18 brings a native app-like user experience and allows applications to transition between different environments. React Router and Next.js have different approaches to routing, with React Router using component-based routing and Next.js using file system-based routing. React server components provide the primitives to address the disadvantages of multipage applications while maintaining the same user experience. Improving navigation and routing in React involves including loading UI, pre-rendering parts of the screen, and using server components for more performant experiences. Next.js and Remix are moving towards a converging solution by combining component-based routing with file system routing.
