🧡 Hydrogen by @ShopifyDevs

An opinionated React framework for Shopify E-commerce sites

Bets all-in on Server Components, streaming SSR
Oxygen: dedicated hosting infra to come (V8 isolates at Edge)

=> Highly dynamic content without perf compromise

🧡 React-Router v6 by @mjackson & @ryanflorence

Best of React & Reach routers: code-splitting, TS support, route ranking, config object

New: subroutes relative to parent, <Outlet> comp...

API remains familiar

Extensive migration doc + compact package

🧡 @storybookjs Interactive stories (beta) by @winkerVSbecks

Sometimes, props are not good enough to set a stateful React component in the wanted UI state

Storybook introduces a "play()" method where you can use @TestingLib APIs to do the setup!

🧡 The State Initializer Pattern

@kentcdodds explains a reset callback has pros over resetting with a React key update:
- lighter, no unmount/remount
- smoother, can preserve animated state transitions

Trap to avoid: an initialValue prop might change

kentcdodds.com/blog/the-state…
🧡 Creating a React component with TDD

@mattibarzeev uses TDD baby steps cycle to test a React component rendering and interactions with TDD

No test of implementation details, using Testing Lib: test remains robust to refactors.

🧡 TypeScript Control flow analysis for destructured discriminated unions, PR merged by @ahejlsberg

Very useful for React: destructuring props, fetch hooks results...

No need to write unnatural JS just for TS, the following will now compile!

🧡 File-based routing with React Router

@oedotme continues with Part 2

He adds Vite-based code-splitting to its homemade file-based routing system

Not so complicated to implement in user-land πŸ‘

🧡 πŸŽ™οΈπŸŽ₯ Podcast with @swyx & @leeerob

Lots of interesting subjects!

Couldn't listen to it this week πŸ˜…

But definitely will, I'll comment next week!

🧡 @hdjirdeh explains that what the Aurora team at Google did for Next.js

Also, what's to come next.

Note: Aurora seems to also have worked on Shopify Hydrogen ;)

🧡 Embracing Expo Modules in your React Native Projects

@kudochien debunks the myth that Expo modules are only for full-featured Expo apps

It's not all-or-nothing:
- any React-Native app can easily use a single Expo module
- it remains lightweight

blog.expo.dev/embracing-expo…
🧡 TypeScript 4.5 RC

ES modules support for Node.js delayed

Some of my highlights:

🧡 Chrome & Lighthouse user flows

Chrome allows to record/replay full user flows

Lighthouse can measure lab perf for nav & user interactions

Next.js 12.3 was released with great new features.
Many we already knew were coming.

What surprised me most is the new caching system of Next.js leveraging Vercel infra.

Worth checking this thread + link:

Different perspective πŸ€ͺ

"Mutability has great positives
But thinking immutability is bad may just mean some past patterns were problematic, and not that the entirety of immutable data is bad"

useMemo/useCallback will go away someday

I can agree, but maybe the pain is only temporary?

Maybe we shouldn't throw the immutability model because of short-term difficulties, and the platform should evolve to support better the immutable UI model

Things like Records & Tuples can greatly help

"make the right technical choice, and make the right long term choice"

I think the React team still follow this today

I can understand signals are appealing right now, but is it the way you want to write code in 10 years once the platform has improved?

I'll do a thread with all the funny tweets I gathered for my React newsletter

Too much fun to not share 🀭

Just wondering if I should exclude non-React/frontend memes?

Should I include these? πŸ‘‡

There are 16 hooks in React 😏 😈

And I bet you never used this one: useSyncExternalStore()

Used internally in state management libs, like Redux

But have you ever thought about using it in your own app code?

πŸ’‘ It could be useful & even prevent some React re-renders

πŸ‘‡ 🧡 Image
Let's start with a real-world problem.

Imagine you are using React-Router and call useLocation() in a few places

➑️ do some conditional rendering depending on pathname, hash, ?search query-string... Image
There are a few potential performance problems, for example:

- whenever you click on hash link, components reading only pathname will re-render ➑️ useless

- whenever you update the ?search querystring link, components reading only pathname or hash will re-render ➑️ useless
