This workshop covers data fetching strategies in JavaScript, focusing on Fetch API, Axios, SWR, and React Query. It provides examples and guidance on implementing these strategies in a React application. Troubleshooting and deployment issues, such as CORS, are also addressed. The workshop concludes by highlighting the advantages and use cases of SWR and React Query, and encourages participants to choose the best strategy based on their project's needs.

In this workshop, first, we’ll go over the different ways you can consume APIs in React. Then, we’ll test each one by fetching content from a headless CMS (with both REST and GraphQL) and checking in detail how they work. While there is no advanced React knowledge required, this is going to be a hands-on session, so you’ll need to clone a preconfigured GitHub repository and utilize your preferred React programming editor, like VS Code. You will learn:- What diverse data fetching options there are in React- What are advantages and disadvantages of each- What are the typical use cases and when each strategy is more beneficial than others

Fetch, useEffect, React Query, SWR, what else?

React Summit 2022

In this Talk, the concept of headless WordPress and its benefits for developers are discussed. The use of front-end frameworks like Remix, Nuxt, Next, or SvelteKit to interact with WordPress through REST or GraphQL APIs is highlighted. The process of creating content models, adding data, and querying the GraphQL schema is explained. The setup of a basic Remix app with Apollo Client and the loading of data into route components using Remix are covered. The handling of dynamic routing with Remix and WordPress is also explored.

One of the largest draws of headless or decoupled WordPress architecture is that we can endlessly remix the WordPress CMS that content creators love with the latest and greatest of web technology. This presentation will demonstrate how quickly a developer can get up and running with headless WordPress development using the Remix full stack framework. Using open source tools like WPGraphQL and Atlas Content Modeler, you can transform your WordPress site into a powerful headless CMS that serves data via GraphQL. We’ll see how we can query for and use that data in a Remix app, and also discuss how the framework’s focus on web fundamentals can benefit both the developer and the visitors who use our sites.

Personalization is the ability to offer exclusive experiences based on existing data. It is important to meet customer expectations and stay competitive. There are four types of personalization: explicit, implicit, interrupted, and seamless. Implementing personalized experiences involves using tools like Next.js and NetJS. Best practices include avoiding annoying users, testing strategies, and monitoring analytics.

"Personalization" is right now one of the hottest buzzwords in the development world. Marketers, developers, and content creators evaluate the possibilities and alternatives to handle custom scenarios while offering powerful experiences to the users. Let's talk about personalization, the benefits, the challenges, and how we can manage and offer personalized experiences. We will see code examples using some of the features introduced in Next.js 12, the newest version of the framework, and connecting to Storyblok, a Headless CMS that offers a real-time visual editor.

Don't take it Personally, it is Personalization

This Talk discusses the challenges faced when implementing or migrating a legacy stack to Next.js and Contentful in large-scale projects. It emphasizes the need for careful analysis and estimation of time and resources. The Talk also highlights the benefits of Next.js in facilitating collaboration with isolated teams and integrating with other frameworks. It addresses the challenges of using a headless CMS in large-scale projects and suggests strategies for handling unavailability and crashes. The importance of using global state wisely and promoting code reusability is also emphasized, along with techniques for overcoming challenges in large-scale projects.

NextJS is an excellent full stack framework. Contentful is a well-known flexible headless CMS. Together are a great match, but when we talk large scale projects the challenges are completely different than the ones you may face in a small to medium scale project. Leonidas will try to raise your awareness on such challenges based on Greece's experience on redesigning Vodafone's site to create beautiful self-serve and guided journeys for Vodafone customers.

TS Congress

This Talk explains how to handle URL slug changes in Next.js by using the getStaticPaths and getStaticProps methods. It covers implementing redirects and provides a solution to eliminate the need for editors to perform additional steps. The approach involves tracking URL slug changes and issuing proper redirects. The speaker encourages the audience to reach out with any questions or experiences with handling URL slugs.

If you're using a headless CMS for storing content, you also work with URL slugs, the last parts of any URL. The problem is, content editors are able to freely change the slugs which can cause 404 errors, lost page ranks, broken links, and in the end confused visitors on your site. In this talk, I will present a solution for keeping a history of URL slugs in the CMS and explain how to implement a proper redirect mechanism (using TypeScript!) for dynamically generated pages on a Next.js website. Add to the talk notes: https://github.com/ondrabus/kontent-boilerplate-next-js-ts-congress-2022

The Workshop covers the use of PlatformSH and Strapi for building and deploying decoupled applications. It explores setting up projects, configuring databases, middleware, and plugins. The workshop also covers building and deploying the application, syncing data, and exploring the site. It highlights the benefits of PlatformSH, such as isolated development environments and easy deployment of multi-app architectures. The workshop concludes with a discussion on handling drafts and implementing live previews.

Node.js has become an increasingly popular language to build and deploy backend APIs. In a world of legacy CMSs adopting decoupled implementations, plenty of frameworks have sprung up to classify themselves as "headless" CMSs, designed from the start to provide an easy way to personalize content models, administer permissions and authentication, and serve a content API quickly. Strapi, one of the leaders in this space, has recently released their v4 version of the framework, and with Platform.sh it can be deployed alongside a number of frontends within the same project, giving a drastically simplified development experience working with decoupled sites. In this workshop, we'll deploy a Strapi demo application, which has been configured to serve a restaurant review site. Piece piece you will add database services, tests, and frontends, all within the safety of isolated development environments. At the end, each user will have a functioning decoupled site, and some greater understanding of working with decoupled sites in production. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

GraphQL Galaxy

GraphQL Galaxy 2021

WordPress is widely used, and it now supports a REST API for headless usage. Serving static HTML files allows for infinite scaling and surviving viral traffic. GraphQL can be used to interface with WordPress data, reducing complexity. WordPress can be coupled with plugins like Yoast and ACF, and WPGraphQL works seamlessly with these plugins. GraphQL allows for selecting only necessary data and has performance advantages over REST APIs.

Headless Wordpress using its built-in REST API is a powerful solution to scale WordPress to the web, but complex relationships can easily turn into chains of requests, making maintainability difficult along with the potential cost of performance. With WPGraphQL, we can harness the benefits of GraphQL, leading to a better developer experience and optimized request logic, making sure we’re only delivering what we need to our users.We’ll explore these advantages and how these pieces fit together with modern tools like Next.js to build great experiences for the web. <a href="https://www.colfayock.com/event-notes/graphql-galaxy-2021" target="_blank">Slides &amp; more</a> <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>
