Jotai Atoms Are Just Functions
Top Content
State management in React is a highly discussed topic with many libraries and solutions. Jotai is a new library based on atoms, which represent pieces of state. Atoms in Jotai are used to define state without holding values and can be used for global, semi-global, or local states. Jotai atoms are reusable definitions that are independent from React and can be used without React in an experimental library called Jotajsx.
The Weird Things About React

The Weird Things About React
Top Content
React has some weird and undocumented features like using the key attribute to remount components. The new beta docs and RFCs provide valuable insights into React's thinking and allow for proposing changes. React's composition story has evolved from mixins to higher order components to hooks. The upgrade to React 18 fixed TypeScript types but introduced issues with optional children. React warnings can be helpful but also annoying, and a library called React Reduce Stress can suppress them. React strict mode helps identify issues and supports new features, but it can cause double rendering in React 18. Overall, React is an interesting journey with its flaws and learning opportunities.

Making an Open Source Library Financially Sustainable
The Talk discusses how an open source library, ReactFlow, was made financially sustainable. Various methods were tried, including Github sponsoring and cross financing, but a price tag was eventually added to the library. Building trust and clear expectations through ongoing support and communication with subscribers was key to gaining financial support. The issue of people not knowing how much to contribute was addressed by providing a clear pricing structure. Additional features like one-on-one support and Pro examples were added to combat the paradox of choice and encourage financial support.

What the Heck Do "Declarative" and "Reactive" Actually Mean?
Workshop
Andre Kovac
Andre Kovac
You’ve built apps with frontend frameworks before? - Then you surely came across the terms ""declarative"" and “reactive”. Since React got released in 2013, most modern UI frameworks or libraries want to be it, but what do these terms actually mean? And what’s the difference between “declarative” and “imperative” code?
It took me a long time to grasp these concepts - but when I finally did, I saw frontend frameworks in a totally new light! And I hope you will feel the same after this talk.
In this very interactive workshop, we’ll delve into a lot of code examples to deeply understand the terms - with examples using vanilla JavaScript, React and Svelte. But the learnings will be universal. After this talk you’ll be able to confidently join discussions about the ""declarative"" and ""reactive"" nature of any new package or library.

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.
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

We know that React is for the web and React Native is for Android and iOS. But have you heard of react-native-web—for writing an app for Android, iOS, and the web in one codebase? Just like React Native abstracts away the details of iOS and Android, React Native Web extracts away the details of the browser as well. This opens up the possibility of even more code sharing across platforms.
In this workshop you’ll walk through setting up the skeleton for a React Native Web app that works great and looks awesome. You can use the resulting codebase as a foundation to build whatever app you like on top of it, using the React paradigms and many JavaScript libraries you’re used to. You might be surprised how many types of app don’t really require a separate mobile and web codebase!
What's included1. Setting up drawer and stack navigators with React Navigation, including responsiveness2. Configuring React Navigation with URLs3. Setting up React Native Paper including styling the React Navigation drawer and headers4. Setting up a custom color theme that supports dark mode5. Configuring favicons/app icons and metadata6. What to do when you can’t or don’t want to provide the same functionality on web and mobile
Prerequisites- Familiarity with building applications with either React or React Native. You do not need to know both.- Machine setup: Node LTS, Yarn, be able to successfully create and run a new Expo app following the instructions on https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/create-a-new-app/
