Documentation is often your community's first point of contact with your project and their daily companion at work. So why is documentation the last thing that gets done, and how can we do it better? This talk shares how important documentation is for React and React Native and how you can invest in or contribute to making your favourite project's docs to build a thriving community <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Opensource Documentation—Tales from React and React Native

Rachel Nabors

<div><div>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!</div></div><div><div> </div></div> <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

System-level state management in modern React applications is challenging. Usually, as the applications grow, the complexity of interaction between different parts of the application compounds. The more you need those isolated parts to talk, the higher the level of complexity. Usually, the common pitfalls of these communications are underestimated especially with the recent trend of State management that tends to keep the application state outside of React and distributed. In this talk, We'll see how the Actor Model architecture can come to the rescue and what makes it stand out compared to the other approaches. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Most documentation systems focus on text content of one form or another: WYSIWYG editors, markdown, code comments, and so forth. Storybook, the industry-standard component workshop, takes a very different approach, focusing instead on component examples, or stories. In this demo, I will introduce an open format called Component Story Format (CSF). I will show how CSF can be used used to create interactive docs in Storybook, including auto-generated DocsPage and freeform MDX documentation. Storybook Docs is a convenient way to build a living production design system. I will then show how CSF stories can be used create novel forms of documentation, such as multiplayer collaborative docs, interactive design prototypes, and even behavioral documentation via tests. Finally, I will present the current status and outline a roadmap of improvements that are on their way in the coming months. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

My unpopular opinion is that testing is ... important. How do you test your React Native apps? In this presentation I will show how to run full integrations tests using Cypress while the RN app is running in the browser. This method can cover most of the application's code and be effective at finding logical errors and mistakes when calling the server APIs. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Remember Atomic Design? It's been a while since we started talking about Design Systems. They're supposed to solve our interfaces inconsistencies issues, as a single source of truth. But do you know well how to build and use them, from a developer perspective? Here's your ultimate guide to Design Systems, for Devs! From the fundamentals of Design Tokens definition, to how to build advanced versatile layouts. You'll learn all best practices, tips &amp; tricks, components splicing strategies, from this comprehensive step--step handbook talk. Never be lost again in front of a creating Design System from scratch! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Headless CMSs are great for developers, but not for content creators. React Bricks is the first CMS that is super-great for Developers (it's just React, backed solid APIs), for Content Creators (it keeps the visual editing experience of no-code tools like Wix) and for Designers (you can express your exact design system and be sure nobody will break it). I'll show you how it works! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Modern frontend frameworks like React are well thought-of in their application security design and that’s great. However, there is still plenty of room for developers to make mistakes and use insecure APIs, vulnerable components, or generally do the wrong thing that turns user input into a Cross-site Scripting vulnerability (XSS). Let me show you how React applications get hacked in the real-world. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

The discussion explores the separation of concerns between logic (Model) and UI (View) and how React hooks are a great abstraction model that help achieve that. We'll start with designing a component's API (in a top down approach), then dive deeper to explore how to implement this API, while maintaining a good separation of concerns. We'll create custom React hooks to implement the Model and React components for the UI. Both expose self-documenting APIs and are completely decoupled from each other. To demo this approach, we'll create a simple Toggler component (a UI component that allows going back and forth in an array of values).Towards the end, we'll explore the benefits, focusing on testing these decoupled units in isolation. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

We often talk and hear about scaling in production, but we rarely talk about scaling development. Aspects like structuring and organizing your codebase, code sharing across teams, speeding up build and test runs can play a huge role in terms of productivity for a developer team. That impacts small teams but gets even more evident as your team grows and especially for large enterprises. In this short talk I'm going to demo Nx and what it can do for you to help you modularize your React code, generate code for you, help you build faster and much more. Tune in to learn about the build framework you've been missing in your tool belt! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

We’re generally afraid of the future. Not only is it unknown, but there’s quite a lot of reasons to believe we’re practically doomed. And it doesn’t help that we’re negatively wired nature, programmed to look out for risks more than search for rewards. Developers especially so. So with this speech, I want to paint another picture for you. I genuinely believe, the future of work is enjoyable and definitely worth pursuing. And you can have that. Right after this speech. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
