Explore the importance of server-side rendering and React Server Components in improving performance and reducing bundle size in React development.
Liad Yosef: Evolution of Server-Side Rendering
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.
TypeScript Techniques Workshop
This Workshop covers a variety of TypeScript techniques, including type checking, compiling code, using operator satisfies, creating type mappings, manipulating types with template literal strings, and using opaque types for type safety.
It also introduces Next.js and React Server Components for server-side rendering and direct data fetching. The importance of type checking and CI setup is emphasized, along with the use of satisfies and pick operators.
Improving User Experience with React Server Components
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.
