🧵🧵🧵 Details 👇👇👇

A nice React security cheatsheet has been posted by @ronperris from @snyksec, with 10 best practices

snyk.io/blog/10-react-…

Chakra UI v1 has been released, congratz to @thesegunadebayo for his popular accessible UI library.

Thoughts of @moubi on device-based code-splitting, when CSS media queries are not enough.

Would be interesting to have a follow-up post discussing the integration with server-side rendering.

webup.org/blog/react-dev…

Wix has been a ReactNative early adopter and plans to deliver a deep dive into their ReactNative usage, as a series of 8 posts.

The 2 first posts have been published by @omribruchim already.

Product Hunt also use ReactNative and looks like to have a nicely architectured application, according to the talk slides of @rstankov.

TS codegen, typesafe routing, generic createScreen, generic loading screen... should give you some inspiration

Keeping up with React Native

@Andrei_Calazans shared the tools he currently likes for building RN apps, and committed to maintain the post over time.

Note: @RozenMD did the same recently for ReactJS: maxrozen.com/keeping-up-wit…

Some insights into the future of @Expo ?

The CTO @JI recently mentioned some interesting bits here about Expo in 2021+:
- Managed workflow superseeded
- Expo Application Services

Hope to hear more about all this soon

Also some infos about React-Navigation v6, with a roadmap and work in progress by @satya164

It shouldn't be a full rewrite this time 🤪

github.com/react-navigati…

If you don't know how to search a JS operator like "??" in google, you'll find this operator search engine from @JoshWComeau helpful

His upcoming post is really nice too, but you'll have to subscribe to his newsletter to read it 👌

Bloomberg has thousands of developers, millions of JavaScript code, their own runtime/tooling...

@robpalmer2 shared 10 insights about adopting TypeScript at scale.

Very interesting read, even if not everything will apply to your own smaller projects

The Bloomberg TS post above mentions the impact of choosing interfaces over type aliases

@ncjamieson gave more explanations on this post.

@drosenwasser advice to use interfaces whenever possible over type aliases 😱

Do we really need else statements?

@dglsparsons suggest that we can replace those with early returns.

I tend to agree with him: handling the conditional cases in early returns make the rest of the code simpler.

For @carlmjohnson , you'd rather improve the No-JS support rather than focusing on IE11 support.

Really agree with this, and I even try to make a No-JS mode for Docusaurus.

Content sites should work without SPA/React hydration (at least partially)

blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2020/time…

Should we have a native pipe |> operator in JS?

After using it in blog posts, it seems @DanShappir finally thinks that it's not needed to extend the language, and a pipe() function is good enough.

NVM 0.37 has been released by @ljharb

This makes me happy because performance of NVM has always been a problem to me, and this release brings me something like a x2 performance improvement when switching node versions!

If you don't know Flexbox already, there are multiple games to learn it in a friendly way

@geddski released the v2 of the Flexbox Zombie game

A recall by @samjarman that you should strive to make your async code execute in parallel whenever possible

samjarman.co.nz/blog/promisedo…

In my experience, even if you know this, you still fall into the trap of writing sequential code by mistake 😅

The project I work on with Facebook, @docusaurus, just reached 20k Github stars!

Don't forget to check it!
