React Summit Remote Edition 2020

Welcome to a talk on React Native releases, where the speaker shares their experience and perspective. The complexities of React Native releases are discussed, including the challenges of manual testing and conflicts with dependencies. The involvement of the community and improved communication with Facebook are highlighted. The speaker also mentions the incremental automation of the release process. React Native 1.0 is seen as a promise of a finalized product with long-term support. The long-term plan for React Native's new architecture is mentioned, with a focus on minimizing breaking changes.

This Talk discusses machine learning on the edge and its benefits for mobile applications. ML on the edge utilizes the computing power of mobile devices for secure, real-time processing and offline capabilities. ML Kit, Google's SDK, provides easy integration of ML solutions in mobile apps without extensive ML expertise. The Talk covers the setup of Firebase and ML Kit integration in React Native projects, showcasing the possibilities of applying filters and generating avatars with ML on the edge.

Today's Talk focuses on styles and theming in React Native, specifically from the perspective of the arrive app. The challenges faced with managing colors and font styles are addressed by Restyle, which provides a type-enforced system for building UI components with themability. The implementation of color palettes, spacing, and dark mode is discussed, along with the benefits of using Restyle's predefined components. TypeScript's autocompletion and other advantages are highlighted, and listeners are encouraged to explore the project on GitHub for more features.

Envinfo and Solidarity are tools that help developers manage their development environment more efficiently. Envinfo conglomerates information about the development environment, saving developers from having to type multiple commands. Solidarity provides more control on a per-project basis, allowing developers to check files, variables, and handle custom plug-ins. It also offers neat tricks like paint it red mode for giving warnings without disrupting the workflow. Solidarity is useful for pre-commit hooks and git config checks.

This Talk discusses the use of Relay and fragments in data fetching for React applications. It explores the challenges of fetching data from components and the optimization of data fetching. The Talk also covers the use of fragments for component data fetching and the challenges and potential errors that can arise. It highlights the design decisions of Relay that make data access easier and the use of variables in fragments. The Talk concludes with a discussion on refetching fragment data and the combination of fragments and queries in Relay.

The Talk provides an introduction to React 360, a JavaScript framework created by Facebook for building 3D and VR user interfaces on top of React. It simplifies the creation of complex UI and leverages the familiar concepts and tools of React and React Native. The folder structure includes a static assets folder for media files, a client.js file for creating locations and surfaces, and an index file as the main file. The code structure is similar to React Native and React, using Flexbox for styling. The application can be run on a web browser or any VR device, and includes features like slides, video layer, and customizable background image.

The Talk provides an introduction to React and discusses the speaker's journey of learning React effectively. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the purpose of learning React and following a step-by-step process. The Talk also highlights the need to learn React independently before diving into other tech stacks. Practical learning, tracking coding activity, and learning in public are recommended approaches. The speaker mentions working with technologies like Node.js, ExpressJS, React, EmberJS, VueJS, Nuxt, and Next. The Talk concludes with the speaker's contact information and availability for discussions on operating systems and full stack development.

In these weird times, we all have one question: what to do with that much time at home? The answer is to invent more board games and potentially use React. Modifying existing games and adding AI can bring new possibilities and challenges. The BoardGame.IO library provides a simple interface for creating playable versions of board games on a computer and adding AI. Computer simulations cannot capture the social interaction and dynamics of board games played on a table.

This Talk explores controlling apps with the mind and the future of UI and UX. It discusses the integration of VR and AR into UI and UX, the understanding of neurons and EEG headsets, connecting to Muse via Bluetooth, measuring brain waves and blink detection, feeding data to machine learning, and mind control with AR. The speaker emphasizes the importance of learning React Native, AR, React, Bluetooth, and drones for those interested in exploring these topics.

Scalable React development made easy by NX, a monorepo-based approach used by large tech companies. Challenges of sharing code in multiple repos include duplicate tooling, separate workflows, and version conflicts. Benefits of a monorepo include unified tooling, single version of dependencies, and simplified development. NX enables monorepo workflows with intelligent build systems and easy code sharing. It also supports custom code generation, enforces standards and dependencies, improves build times, and provides modern tools and plugins.

Welcome to Designing with Coding Minds. Having a designer who codes in your team can help work faster and bridge the gap between developers and designers. Designers who can code can improve design systems and create components for design tools. GitHub is used at Elastic for collaboration between designers and developers. At Elastic, the code is prioritized over the final design, allowing the code to go live first.

Global state management and the challenges of placing server state in global state are discussed. React Query is introduced as a solution for handling asynchronous server state. The Talk demonstrates the process of extracting logic into custom hooks and fixing issues with state and fetching logic. Optimistic updates with mutation are showcased, along with the benefits of using React Query for data fetching and mutations. The future of global state management is discussed, along with user feedback on React Query. The Talk concludes with an invitation to explore React Query for server state management.

Mux provides an API for live streaming and aims to keep users in their own applications. Live broadcast and live chat are different, with live chat using WebRTC and live broadcast using RTMP and HLS. WebRTC can be implemented using headless Chrome or the getUserMedia process. Mux targets developers building platforms and suggests using semantic HTML. Ionic supports native apps and custom native views.

Today's Talk discussed the preference of accessibility advocates for using the platform over divs, highlighting the ease of converting divs into buttons. The CSS for making divs look like buttons was also discussed, but it was concluded that using the platform is easier and more accessible. The Q&A session covered topics such as target market and using divs as buttons for specific cases. The Talk also briefly mentioned the tapping feature of Match and the support for native apps in Ionic. The closing remarks concluded the Talk.

The speaker introduces GraphQL Mesh, a library that extracts schemas from existing services and merges them into a single GraphQL endpoint. This allows for type safety and the ability to add federated metadata to existing services. GraphQL Mesh can run as a central gateway or a distributed source. The speaker also mentions the use of platforms for streaming and the accessibility benefits of using semantic HTML content. Additionally, there is a mention of Ionic's support for native apps. Overall, the Talk covers the benefits and capabilities of GraphQL Mesh and its applications in different scenarios.

Ionic React is a framework for building cross-platform apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It has hit its stable release and brings Ionic to even more developers. The Q&A session covers topics like the target market for Mux and the use of div as a button in React Native web. Ionic supports native apps and allows for a mix of web UI and custom native views.
