#react composition

Today's Talk introduces React Snots, a new way of composition for design systems. The configuration way provides flexibility but can lead to uncontrolled use cases and wrong patterns. React Slots RFC was created to address the limitations of React's support for web components and slots. It introduces createHost and createSlot APIs to enable component composition and solve previous problems. React Slots RFC allows for flexible component styling and the creation of complex structures without rendering them to the browser.

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.

This talk discusses achieving layout composition in React using Bedrock Layout Primitives. By componentizing CSS layout, complex layouts can be achieved and reused across different components. The talk also covers the challenges of achieving complex layouts, such as card lineups, and provides solutions for maintaining alignment and responsiveness. The BedrockLayout primitive library simplifies web layouts and offers flexibility in composing layouts.
