Guild is a platform that needs to exist on all platforms, using React Native to orchestrate them. React Native and Expo provide components that work across platforms. Building applications with React Native involves composing components and using a design system. Choosing the right server-side rendering solution is important for unifying mobile and web codebases. Embedding React Native allows for optimization and embedding in any application. Bridging the gap between UI and API with embeddable experiences is key to supporting communities on every platform.

Watch video: React State Management with Valtio
This is a short presentation on VALTEO, a proxy-based state management system that uses JavaScript's native idea of proxies to create observable and immutable state. The proxy tracks changes to the object and nested proxy objects, only re-rendering the component when a specific key changes. There is a gotcha with proxies in Valtio - avoid reassigning the proxy to a whole new object. Valtio integrates with Redux DevTools, making it even more powerful and convenient.

Watch video: Off with Their Heads: Rise of the Headless Components
Headless Components are efficient for app development, but there's a lot of work involved, especially for menus. The customizability wall is a problem with component libraries, but it can be solved through reverse engineering and design. Headless Components offer no markup or basic markup to be overwritten, providing flexibility in code and design quality. Radix and React ARIA are recommended stylus component libraries with different APIs. Kodaks' experience with headless components highlights the ability to mix and match easily and the potential for market gaps in the headless space. Radix is a popular choice for headless components due to its well-documented and user-friendly API. Headless components aid in testing, distribution of design systems, and accessibility. MUI is a self-consistent and rich library, while Radix focuses on accessibility and default accessibility. Kodaks integrates well with headless libraries and welcomes feedback through Discord.

CCTDD: Cypress Component Test Driven Design
Cypress component test-driven design can take front-end engineers to the next level by covering TDD examples, component testing, endpoint testing, and recommended best practices. The TDD flow involves starting with failing tests, making them work, and then improving them. Component tests can be written incrementally, using custom wrappers and props. The differences between React Testing Library and Cypress Component Test lie in the API style. Code coverage can be achieved with Cypress component tests, and the Pack.js Cypress Adapter can be used to avoid test duplication between the backend and frontend.

Today's Talk discusses building flexible, resilient, and future-proof React components using composition and configuration approaches. The composition approach allows for flexibility without excessive conditional logic by using multiple components and passing props. The context API can be used for variant styling, allowing for appropriate styling and class specification. Adding variants and icons is made easy by consuming the variant context. The composition and configuration approaches can be combined for the best of both worlds.

Find Out If Your Design System Is Better Than Nothing
Building a design system without adoption is a waste of time. Grafana UI's adoption is growing consistently over time. The factors affecting design system adoption include the source mix changing, displacement of Homebrew components by Grafana UI, and the limitations of Grafana UI's current state. Measuring adoption is important to determine the success of a design system. The analysis of code through static code analysis tools is valuable in detecting and tracking component usage.

Taking Component Driven One Step Further
React was built for component-driven development. Challenges of component sharing include the inability to easily share components across applications. Monorepos have benefits but can also present challenges such as slow IDE performance and merge conflicts. Onboarding developers and the deployment process can be time-consuming. Bit solves these challenges by allowing isolated and versioned components in a monorepo, providing easy component search, filtering, and versioning, and enabling component-driven development.
