It compares RSC to traditional server-side rendering (SSR) and explains how RSC handles promises and integrates client components. The Talk also discusses the RSC manifest and deserialization process. The speaker then introduces the Waku framework, which supports bundling, server, routing, and SSR. The future plans for Waku include integration with client state management libraries.

React server components solve the problem of interrupting user interfaces caused by CPU-bound or network-bound web applications. They allow for read-only content to be rendered on the server and interactive elements to be shipped to the client, reducing code shipped and improving performance. Server-side rendering and server-side fetching improve the user experience by reducing delays and flash of unstyled content. Soft navigation with server components enables re-rendering without hard navigation, and using frameworks like Next.js helps with debugging and deployment challenges.

React server components simplify server-side rendering and provide a mental model of components as pure functions. Using React as a library for server components allows for building a basic RSC server and connecting it to an SSR server. RSC responses are serialized virtual DOM that offload code from the client and handle interactivity. The client manifest maps serialized placeholders to real components on the client, enabling dynamic rendering. Server components combine the best of classic web development and progressive enhancement, offering the advantage of moving logic from the client to the server.

This Talk introduces server components in React, which provide an intermediate format for rendering and offer advantages for both client-side and server-side rendering. Server components reduce bundle size on the client and improve search engine optimization. They abstract the rendering process, allowing for faster rendering and flexibility in choosing where to render components. While server components are still in the experimental stage, Next.js is a good starting point to try them out.

My name is Mauro and I work for a company called Doubleloop in Italy. Today, I'm going to share my learning journey through puzzles and challenges related to React Server Components (RSC). RSC allows for server-side rendering and streaming of components. React flight, a protocol used to serialize and share rendering jobs, is a key feature of RSC. RSC can be used without a server, known as React Serverless Components. Using RSC, different types of content can be switched using the useState hook. RSC can be effectively used on a server by starting Node.js with a specific flag. Client-only components recognized by RSC can be executed on the client. React Streaming Components introduces the streaming concept and allows for continuous updates of the page. Advanced features of React Streaming Components include asynchronous rendering, suspense, and recursion. The React Strange Constraints challenge focuses on optimizing rendering by sending the initial page as HTML. The use of a proxy and RSE payload allows for client hydration of RSC. The possibility of using languages other than JavaScript, such as Rust, for server components is explored. RSC has the potential to become a language-agnostic protocol. The meaning of client-server roles in RSC can be extended. RSC offers streaming capabilities and the ability to balance server and client work. Infinite streaming is possible with server sockets. RSC hydration is believed to be faster than regular hydration. The Talk concludes by encouraging questions during the Q&A session.

Additionally, we will explore the use of React 19 hooks to enhance interactivity. Finally, we will optimize rendering and achieve improved Lighthouse scores for better performance. Overall, this Talk covers a range of techniques and tools to enhance React projects and deliver a better user experience.

Hi, my name is Julian and I am super excited to be speaking at React Summit this year. Today, I will be talking about Suspense on the server and its importance in React server components. React server components allow us to differentiate between static and dynamic components, improving performance and user experience. Suspense improves performance by introducing streaming and out-of-order streaming. We can implement suspense on the server by creating a suspended object to store the suspended children and swapping out the loading state for the actual content using custom elements. Multiple suspense boundaries can be used to render individual loading states for different sections, improving the user experience.

Welcome to Securing Server on the Red Applications in the Context of Next.js talk. Next.js brings new challenges for front-end developers with its server-side rendering technologies. We need to consider security in Next.js applications and address the common vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP top 10. Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a common vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit the server's privileges. Security logging and monitoring failures are critical, as proper setup is necessary to detect attacks. Being cautious with npm packages, addressing identification and authentication failures, and updating vulnerable components are crucial for application security. Database seeding, security headers, and permissions policies are important for application security. It's important to reduce the criticality of an attack, check strict transport security header, and prevent security issues by following best practices. Understanding CSRF vulnerability, image injection vulnerability, and cryptographic failures is important. Broken access control can result in unauthorized access and should be mitigated. Thank you for watching this talk and stay safe!

Welcome to React Advanced 2024. Gerald Miller and Alessia Bellisario discuss the pairing of GraphQL and server components and its advantages. GraphQL combined with server components has been widely adopted, allowing for initial rendering on the server and optimizing performance. React Server Components introduce a new primitive for rendering on the server and executing server-only code. GraphQL serves as a unifying layer between microservices. Data fetching in client components involves setting up an Apollo Client instance and provider. Best practices include separating data, avoiding overlap between server and client components, and using the preload query component. Optimize network requests in React using suspense boundaries and avoiding multiple requests. Fragments in GraphQL help optimize data fetching for UI components. Use fragments and the defer directive to stream data incrementally. Add suspense boundaries, useSuspenseFragment hook, and deferred directives to optimize data fetching in React components. Combine React server components and GraphQL for streaming multi-part responses and enhancing user experiences.

I'm Daisuke Kato, an open source developer. I've developed React libraries like Zest, Jota, and Valsio. Now, I'm working on a new React framework, Waku. It's a team project that started a year and a half ago. Recently, we added support for server functions. This talk is about server functions and React Server Components (RSC), which allows running React on a server. RSC includes server components and functions and can render components at build time. It leverages serialization provided by a React library. Server components are an extension that allows rendering on the server and merging with client components. Let's explore the implementation with code. RSC allows the use of server and client components. The server serializes the client component into the RST payload. A client reference acts like a URL and is used to retrieve the actual client component. Creating a client reference involves code transformation. Server functions allow the client component to call a function on the server. Server function and client component are both functions that need to be serializable. Creating server references has multiple ways. The framework transforms user code for different situations. Waku now supports server functions. Supporting server function is a challenging task, but we've done it. Thank you for your talk.

I will talk about my recent project, Waku, and my React libraries - Rustand, Jotai, and Valisio. Waku is a React framework that depends heavily on React Server Components (RSC) and aims to make capabilities like code splitting, routing, data fetching, and SSR available to developers. It uses React components based on RSC for reusability and provides a fast experience with VIT, hot reload, and hot module replacement. Waku is under active development, aiming for V1 alpha and exploring Waku-specific features. Deploying Waku apps on Vercel is supported, and a plugin system is in consideration for extended support.

Today's Talk explores the concepts of async local storage and React context. Async local storage is a useful API for retrieving values from a parent component without passing them through multiple components. React context, on the other hand, allows for the creation of context instances in parent components and consumption in child components. The Talk also discusses server actions in React, their limitations, and the use of async local storage in server actions, with an example Cloudflare worker handling web requests and authentication.

The Talk discusses internationalization for server components and the challenge of loading translations efficiently. It suggests using import statements in JavaScript to optimize message loading and eliminate the need for namespaces.

Micro frontends are an architectural style where independent deliverable frontend applications compose a greater application. They allow for independent development and deployment, breaking down teams into feature verticals. React Native's architecture enables updating the JavaScript layer without going through the app store. Code Push can be used to deploy separate JavaScript bundles for each micro frontend. However, there are challenges with managing native code and dependencies in a micro frontend ecosystem for mobile apps.

Today's Talk introduces the concepts of hydration and off islands, explores the benefits of islands for enhancing server-side rendered HTML with client-side JavaScript, discusses the lazy approach of re-zoomability and its advantages over traditional hydration, highlights the use of resumability and concurrent React for improved rendering performance, examines the features and concerns of React server components, touches on the co-location of client and server code, and explores future trends in rendering and navigation. The Talk also reflects on past ideas and emphasizes the importance of identifying core metrics for performance optimization.

React has improved state management with built-in hooks like useState, useReducer, and useRef. Redux can still be used but it's recommended to avoid global state. Zustand is an alternative state manager that allows for easy creation of hooks. Proper architecture is important for accessing the global store. State managers can add extra bytes to the client's JavaScript bundle, so it's important to be selective in choosing libraries. Next.js and React routers are recommended for server-side rendering and personalized experiences can be achieved with spas.

This Talk discusses the journey of data fetching libraries in React's new streaming SSL, focusing on the use of suspense for data fetching.

Bun is a modern JavaScript runtime environment that combines a bundler, transpiler, package manager, and runtime. It offers faster installation of NPM packages and execution of package.json scripts. Bun introduces a new JavaScript and TypeScript bundler with built-in support for server components, enabling easy RPC with the client. This allows for code splitting and running code that streamingly renders React or any other library from the server and mixes it with client code, resulting in less JavaScript sent to the client.

We discuss GraphQL servers, their current state, and how to harden resolvers. The talk explores the working of resolvers, handling server outages, and implementing passive health checking. It also delves into the role of API Gateways, proxies, and declarative resolvers in improving network traffic handling. The use of JQ for data transformation and outlier detection is demonstrated. The talk concludes with the importance of resilient resolvers and engagement with the GraphQL community.

React Server Components is a recent feature introduced with the React team and launched with Next.js 12. They allow for rendering components on the server, improving performance and data fetching. Server components can be used alongside client-side rendering and provide direct access to server resources. However, they are still in the experimental stage and have some limitations, such as not being able to use hooks or event handlers. Challenges include importing server components in client components and making third-party API calls.

Liad Yosef discusses the importance and evolution of server-side rendering, highlighting its benefits such as improved performance and SEO. He explores different rendering strategies and the challenges of hydration in React. He introduces SuspenseSSL in React 18 as a solution for fetching data in advance and selectively hydrating components. He also mentions React Server Component as a game changer for reducing bundle size in rendering with React.

Next.js is a framework that allows for client-side rendering and easy page transitions. Server-side rendering offers a more secure application and better search engine optimization but requires a server.
