Video: Javascript Optional: Modern React Applications That Work Without JS

Remix is a web framework built on React Router that focuses on web fundamentals, accessibility, performance, and flexibility. It delivers real HTML and SEO benefits, and allows for automatic updating of meta tags and styles. It provides features like login functionality, session management, and error handling. Remix is a server-rendered framework that can enhance sites with JavaScript but doesn't require it for basic functionality. It aims to create quality HTML-driven documents and is flexible for use with different web technologies and stacks.

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.

Remix Flat Routes is a new convention that aims to make it easier to see and organize the routes in your app. It allows for the co-location of support files with routes, decreases refactor and redesign friction, and helps apps migrate to Remix. Flat Folders convention supports co-location and allows importing assets as relative imports. To migrate existing apps to Flat Routes, use the Remix Flat Routes package's migration tool.

My name is Mark Dalglish and I'm here to discuss how ReactRouter became a framework. Remix is built on ReactRouter and heavily relies on it. Remix feels like a framework because it has a CLI, manages the dev and build lifecycle, and has strong opinions about the file system structure. Remix embraced Vite as a plugin, allowing developers to integrate it seamlessly into their existing Vite setup. The shift to Vite led to a change in the philosophy of Remix Vite, enabling frameworks to orchestrate all the environment builds and make the framework as a plugin pattern first class. React Router is merging with Remix to make all the build time framework features available to React Router consumers. React Router is now officially a framework as well as a library. The move to integrate Remix into React Router is driven by the exploration of the next generation of Remix. React Router V7 simplifies by dropping the React Native layer and allows flexibility for consumers to use it as a library or as a framework with additional architectural features provided by plugins. The focus is on betting on Vite in the long term, and React Router plans to support React Server components. Thank you to Mark for answering the questions.
