React Summit

React Summit 2023

We discuss developing at scale with NxMonoRepos, which provide the benefits of a monorepo without the drawbacks of code collocation. Nx helps with code consistency and automation through plugins and generators. The workshop covers folder structure, workspace creation, using plugins, updating files, using executors, libraries and migrations, running generators and migration scripts, connecting APIs, creating type libraries, and using generators for Storybook configuration. It also covers configuring Storybook, enforcing module boundaries, setting up CI, using workspaces, and the trade-offs of libraries and applications.

We're going to be using Nx and some its plugins to accelerate the development of this app. Some of the things you'll learn:- Generating a pristine Nx workspace- Generating frontend React apps and backend APIs inside your workspace, with pre-configured proxies- Creating shared libs for re-using code- Generating new routed components with all the routes pre-configured by Nx and ready to go- How to organize code in a monorepo- Easily move libs around your folder structure- Creating Storybook stories and e2e Cypress tests for your components Table of contents: - Lab 1 - Generate an empty workspace- Lab 2 - Generate a React app- Lab 3 - Executors- Lab 3.1 - Migrations- Lab 4 - Generate a component lib- Lab 5 - Generate a utility lib- Lab 6 - Generate a route lib- Lab 7 - Add an Express API- Lab 8 - Displaying a full game in the routed game-detail component- Lab 9 - Generate a type lib that the API and frontend can share- Lab 10 - Generate Storybook stories for the shared ui component- Lab 11 - E2E test the shared component

React at Scale with Nx

Isaac Mann

React Summit 2022

Welcome to a talk about fast React monorepos with high quality DX. Monorepos allow for collaboration and code sharing between packages, providing a more organized development environment. Leveraging caching and distribution in CI can improve speed and efficiency. NX provides a feature-rich monorepo setup for React, improving developer experience. Monorepo tools like NX console extension and project graph visualization enhance capabilities and enforce code quality.

Monorepos have been around for some time but only recently gained popularity in the JavaScript community. The promise of easily sharing code, better enforcing organizational standards, greater developer mobility due to common tooling, and more is very appealing. Still, if approached naively, a monorepo will quickly turn into a huge mess: skyrocketing slow CI times, spaghetti dependencies among projects, hard to navigate, and ultimately leading to frustration. In this talk, we will look at the available tooling, how to kickstart a new React monorepo in particular, and we will learn the key ingredients required to build a successful, long-running monorepo that scales.
