Building React Primitives to Power In-App Messaging
At Knock we power real-time in-app messaging experiences via our React SDK, enabling product teams to drop in components and have fully featured in-app notification feeds, modals, banners, and more instantly available. In this talk, we'll take a look at how we structured our React library in a composable way, giving teams the power to use our components out of the box, override styling with their own tokens, or bring their own UI components via hooks. We'll dive into how we structured our SDK to provide maximum flexibility for engineering teams, while preserving ease of maintenance.
