In the ever-evolving landscape of modern single-page applications, VueJS stands out but also presents us with challenges. Among them, authentication is crucial: ensuring the user's identity and securing their journey within your application. Fear not; we're here to guide you through these exciting frontiers. In my session, I'll unravel the secrets of authentication in VueJS applications, making it a delightful learning journey for everyone while keeping the focus on the most critical parts. I'll provide an overview of an authentication flow, break down each step, and demystify the role of JWT tokens in the process. 
Whether you're a seasoned VueJS developer or just getting started, you're welcome. A dash of prior experience with user authentication certainly doesn't hurt, but it's optional. 
Target audience: Web Developers of all levels who want to learn about security topics and best practices.
Key learnings:- Giving a small introduction to the most essential terms and concepts of Authentication;- VueJS is used as an example, but the concepts will be agnostic.

Testings are mandatory and unit tests are the foundation for building a good testing system for our project. But for front end projects which involve components, how many unit tests are considered efficient and not overkill? Should we use additional libraries like Testing Library or Vue Test Utils with Vitest to test a component, when we can perform the same with just Playwright? Whether a component test using an E2E framework like Playwright is really a kill for? Let's find out in my talk.

In case you are unaware, shadcn (creator of `ui.shadcn`) created a new way for devs to build component libraries. Instead of a usual component library, where you are limited to the component styling, props, or events designed by the author, you now have the capability to modify the components to suit your needs.Quote from the shadcn himself, "It's a collection of re-usable components that you can copy and paste into your apps."
In this talk, I will be showcasing the power of this approach, walking through how to customize it, and why it has gained such a popularity in the recent months.

Let's explore how to create more resilient software systems employing API-first techniques. By utilizing the contract testing tool Specmatic and the Playwright test runner, we can develop tests that ensure our Nuxt applications work perfectly and communicate correctly with Microservices they rely on to get data.

We will take a closer look at how to write OpenAPI specifications that aid us in documenting our APIs and enable us to ensure they work correctly. Furthermore, we can use those specifications to automatically spin up a stub server, which we can use to test our application in a controlled environment with Playwright.

The techniques I'll show you will help you write tests that enable you to rapidly iterate without fearing regressions.

Learning Outcomes:

1. You know about the basic principles of Contract Testing and how it also helps drive our E2E tests.
2. You know to opt for Contract Testing when working with Microservices and BFFs, database seeding when using Nuxt with a database, and mocking when dealing with SPAs.
3. You know the steps to create your first OpenAPI specification and integrate Specmatic with Playwright or Cypress, and you are keen to apply this technique to your projects.

As developers we usually have to develop fast and because of that some Software Quality aspects such as Performance, Accessibility or Security can suffer. Configuring web applications to be protected against common threats and hackers is difficult. And that is why, you can use Nuxt Security -> a module for Nuxt that will help you build more secure applications without additional configuration needed! In this talk, I will guide you through the concepts of Security in modern web applications and OWASP to help you build more secure Vue & Nuxt applications!

We'll explore what's new in Nuxt 4, and the architectural decisions we've made to make it 'a better hammer', no matter what kind of project you're facing. I'm aiming for something useful for anyone, even if they don't use Nuxt. So thinking about framework philosophy, and inspiring people with what's under the hood.

With all the web framework options available in popular programming languages today, why would anyone want to create a new Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building full-stack web apps? In this talk, we will cover our rationale for deciding to do so, why DSLs are a compelling option, their pros and cons, and what it has enabled us to build for full-stack JavaScript devs so far. Additionally, we will cover some of the ups and downs of open source devtool development from our nearly three-year journey since Y Combinator (YC)

In today’s world of modern applications, swift responsiveness is essential. Users expect seamless interactions where every action triggers an immediate response.Serverless services such as AWS Lambda, allows developers to build modern applications without the need to manage traditional servers or infrastructure. However, Serverless services might introduce additional latency when new execution environments are provisioned and due to (by design) having less resources than traditional servers or containerized environments.To mitigate this problem, AWS have developed an experimental JavaScript runtime, called LLRT, built from the ground up for a Serverless environment. LLRT (Low Latency Runtime) is a lightweight JavaScript runtime designed to address the growing demand for fast and efficient Serverless applications. LLRT offers more than 10x faster startup and up to 2x overall lower cost compared to other JavaScript runtimes running on AWS Lambda.In this session you will discover how it's different from what's already out there, see its performance in action and learn how to apply it to your Serverless functions.

With the end of Dennard scaling, the cost of computing is no longer falling at the hardware level: to improve efficiency, we need better software. Competing JavaScript runtimes are sometimes faster than Node.js: can we bridge the gap? We show that Node.js can not only match faster competitors but even surpass them given enough effort. URLs are the most fundamental element in web applications. Node.js 16 was significantly slower than competing engines (Bun and Deno) at URL parsing. By reducing the number of instructions and vectorizing sub-algorithms, we multiplied by three the speed of URL parsing in Node.js (as of Node.js 20). If you have upgraded Node.js, you have the JavaScript engine with the fastest URL parsing in the industry with uncompromising support for the latest WHATGL URL standard. We share our strategies for accelerating both C++ and JavaScript processing in practice.

Many companies are going all-in AWS and thus adopting their complete CodeSuite for their CI/CD processes. However, while CodePipeline is the platform for this process, it may not be the most user-friendly. In a Monorepo setup, it's typical to create multiple CI/CD pipelines for each package. However, there are several caveats to be aware of. For instance, you may encounter scenarios where multiple pipelines get triggered even if you just modified one file, or you may question the need to create multiple branches for each pipeline. In this talk, we provide valuable tips for building a sophisticated CodePipeline using CDK in a Monorepo environment. The techniques discussed in this talk are also transferrable to other CI/CD tools.

Incident management can be challenging and throw you curveballs with unexpected issues, resulting in data loss, downtimes, and overall money & hours of sleep going to waste, BUT! There are practical things you could do to make it a smoother process and handle it better.

Yes, we do need to test our UI components but... If this rings a bell, and especially if your application has advanced UI functionality, this talk is for you.In this talk, we will cover what are the factors that need to be tested in UI components. We will challenge the testing pyramid when it comes to UI Components testing, and review the different tools that we have nowadays for making UI component testing complete Zen.

Testing is an essential part of software development, but it can be a tricky and time-consuming process. The popular testing-library package is a widely used tool that helps developers write reliable and maintainable frontend tests based on a behavior driven approach, but many users are not fully aware of how it works. In this talk, I, as one of the maintainers of the package, give an in-depth look into testing-library. You will learn how testing-library is designed to encourage good testing practices and how it can help you write more maintainable tests.

In this talk, we will discuss leveraging Machine Learning practices in Software Testing with several practical examples and a case study that I used in my project to do Bug Triage. Let's embrace the future together!

In my talk I will explore the challenges faced when trying to manage and maintain test code across multiple projects and what made me create my first Javascript module. I will showcase the process of building, publishing, and versioning it using the powerful capabilities of GitHub Actions. And finally, I will talk about the benefits of doing it.

Despite the emergency of DevOp to unite development, support and SRE factions together using common processes, we still face cultural and tooling challenges that create the Dev and Ops silos. Specifically, we often use different tools to achieve similar testing: case in point validating the user experience in production using Synthetic Monitoring and in development using e2e testing. By joining forces around common tooling, we can use the same tool for both production monitoring and testing within CI. In this talk, I will discuss how Synthetic Monitoring and e2e Testing are two sides of the same coin. Furthermore, I shall show how production monitoring and development testing can be achieved using Playwright, GitHub Actions and Elastic Synthetics.

Then let’s talk about how to get your tests up and running on CI, debugging on CI and scaling using shards.

4th November 2022 - It was just a regular day for the "release crew" as we were approaching to prepare the first release candidate for React Native 0.71. Little did we know how an innocuous release could have triggered a domino effect resulting in failing builds for nearly every React Native developer out there.
With the wisdom of hindsight, we'll walk through what happened, what are our lessons learned and the lowlights of this incident. We'll have the opportunity to look through the internals of React Native, discover our incident-response culture, and learn how we're hardening our ecosystem to protect us against similar events in the future.  
Join me as we revive this incident, and don't miss this opportunity to gain insights, be inspired, and embrace the lessons learned from the day I broke React Native.

Documentation is essential to any project and it can really "make it or break it".  However documentation is time consuming to draft and can sometimes be forgotten, or updates and amendments to it left behind as the project moves forward.  Additionally, creating your documentation with Markdown has its limitations, so you may not end up with the result you want or that your contributor needs. 
By using MDX you can combine Markdown with code and integrate it into your React project.  Documentation becomes a more streamlined and efficient process and dare I say it...fun. 

Empathy-driven development empowers developers to create software that truly understands and serves users' needs. This talk explores practical techniques for integrating empathy into the development process, leading to more intuitive, user-friendly applications. Learn how cultivating empathy can foster collaboration, improve code quality, and ultimately enhance user satisfaction. Join us to unlock the transformative potential of empathy in your development journey.

Imagine being a knight preparing for a jousting tournament, but your horse is more interested in the fair's hay bales than your impending duel. That's what prepping your tech department for an investment round or exit can feel like sometimes. This talk provides an in-depth look into the role of a frontend engineer, especially working with React, in preparing a tech department for an investment round or an exit. Through a unique lens of tech due diligence, the presentation uncovers the importance of good practices, solid architecture, efficient documentation, and more.

React Server Components are a newer way of working with React that is widely adopted in frameworks like Next.js. In this talk, we will look under the surface of how they work and are executed on the server side, and how they fit with server rendering and traditional React apps.

In a few months, Google will DESTROY your React app......well, kinda. In March, Google is releasing a new Core Web Vital called Interaction to Next Paint (INP). It measures the speed of interactions – and every React site Ivan has seen so far had INP way in red. This is bad for any site that cares about SEO.In this talk, let’s learn how to prepare for the new Core Web Vital: how INP works, and how to improve it – both manually and with new React APIs like useTransition() and React Concurrency.

When writing code for the Web, there are a lot of capabilities that are offered out of the box by our browsers. If you ever wrote a File Upload component, used timers and intervals, interacted with the DOM, or stored something in the Local/Session Storage, you had to go to the MDN’s Web API docs, to find some relevant information on how to implement that code.
In this session, we will delve into the exciting world of browser Web APIs that are not so commonly used (although they should be) and explore their incredible capabilities 🚀
All these features offer new opportunities for creating immersive web experiences that can help businesses grow and connect with customers.
So if you are the kind of an engineer who wants to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to web development, learn how Intersection Observer, Background Sync API, Screen Wake Lock API (and many more) can help you create better web applications that will keep users engaged and coming back for more! 

Setting up JavaScript projects is no fun. Getting started involves installing and configuring node, tsc, prettier, eslint, a testing framework, a database driver, and more. Why is JavaScript not batteries included? In this talk we'll talk about how Deno fixes this, letting you focus on building stuff. We explore what benefits full tooling integration unlocks, and remember how fun it is to program if your tools help you, rather than requiring your babysitting.

React Server Components are new topic in community, bunch of frameworks are implementing them, people are discussing around this topic. But what if we could use React Server Components in React Native? And bring all optimisation features that RSC allows to mobile apps? In this talk I would present what we are able to do with RSC in React Native!

An elevator pitch for security - yay! I know, security is often frustrating or even annoying. But we all work in tech and at some point, security always becomes a topic. Let's discover a real-world security flaw and what we can learn from it to prevent such incidents. It's gonna be fun, I promise.

Our web UI application is pretty big - hundreds of people have been actively building it during the past eight years. We started facing scalability issues and technological limitations. We evaluated plenty of options and settled on micro-frontends. This evening we will discuss:- Differences between various micro-frontend architectures- Why we made this choice and if it's helpful for you- What we gained- What we sacrificed (yes, there are downsides)- What challenges are still ahead of us

Race conditions are among some of the most challenging to detect and reproduce issues. As such they pose a significant challenge in development notably in UI. In this talk, we explore how to detect race conditions by leveraging fuzzing techniques. We walk you through discovering the real problem of race conditions and how they impact user experience. We provide you tools and examples demonstrating how to easily detect them in your daily work thanks to tests relying on fuzzing. After that talk, we hope your React code will be race conditions free or at least that you will have the right tools to help you.

We take a look at different challenges and decisions when bundling code for web applications. We look at how these are commonly solved and why we need to rethink them.

When treated as a platform, LLMs such as ChatGPT become powerful building blocks for custom, conversational agents. In this talk, we use the OpenAI API and Vercel AI SDK to build a digital sommelier that recommends the perfect wine.

Discover the future of automated mobile application testing with a JavaScript-powered mechanical arm. During this talk we will explore the design, prototyping, and implementation of this cutting-edge solution, optimizing testing efficiency and precision on real mobile devices. We will also discuss the challenges of building a hardware solution for the real world, and how to overcome them.

What would you do differently if you could travel back in time? Modern testing frameworks have transformed this whimsical question into a practical one, by creating their own “time machines”.Cypress’ timeline, Playwright’s trace-viewer and Replay.io’s recordings have offered a retrospective look into the life of a test, ensuring that developers and testers are no longer limited to basic error messages on test failures.However, these different time machines will bring different insights. So how do you decide? The decision on which one to use can make a significant difference in time spent on debugging a flaky test.In this presentation I will be focusing on comparing different time machine solutions and showing various flaky test examples to demonstrate how to navigate through debugging process and believe it or not - make it fun.Key Takeaways:- learn about how different time machine solutions work- discover how to effectively use time machines to debug a flaky test- find out about sources of flakiness within the test and within the application under test

One thing most people agree on is that UI's have multiple dimensions of complexity.Imagine you are at lunch with some of your team or family, and you get a Slack message that a portion of the site isn’t working.The Ad placement no longer loads on your money-generating news site that sees millions of monthly users.Or your login form loads infinitely after a user attempts to log in, and no one can access the application.The backend logic works and all API requests return 200 responses.It turns out we missed a loading state handler for the component, and the UI does not render correctly.How do we manage all of that?The conventional approach is to build the component on the application page where it is first used and manually test or use integration tests to verify UI.This approach makes it difficult to verify all the component states.Instead of all this overwhelm, you want a simple comparison of your UI and how it looks now after making changes.This is where Storybook + a visual regression testing tool come in!

What are fixtures? How can I create one? How can I use it? I will answer all this questions with a small but explanatory live code example.

In this lightning demo I will showcase how Codium, a cutting-edge generative AI tool, is revolutionizing code integrity. We will demonstrate Codium's ability to generate useful Mocha tests, taken from a public repository and highlight the seamless integration. You can see Codium as it transforms complex test scenarios into actionable insights, propelling code coverage forward. Join us for an insightful peek into the future of automated testing where speed meets quality!

At some point, we accepted that end-to-end tests will be flaky, it’s okay to add retries, and it’s best practice to quarantine bad tests. It doesn’t have to be this way!This talk will cover the most common reasons for flaky tests, how to debug them with a time travel debugger, and how to fix them. While flaky tests are a problem that is as old as testing, it turns out that when you can capture and inspect them with Browser DevTools and retroactive console logs, they are quite fixable. And a test suite that is free of flakes runs faster, more reliably, and helps catch more issues before they reach production.

Testing your React Native, Capacitor, or other cross-platform apps on mobile devices is a critical but complex step of deployment. If you’re used to web testing, navigating the options for iOS and Android can be daunting. This session will cover virtual & real device options, native build types for test deployments, how to deliver apps to testers, and even how to run automated tests against real devices.

In this talk, we explore the divisive world of testing, where developers often find themselves torn between writing no tests and striving for 100% test coverage. Learn how to navigate these polarizing positions and adopt a more nuanced strategy that makes testing efficient and effective.We'll dive into the concept of 'Humble Views,' where we minimize untestable objects by extracting logic from UI elements into test-friendly parts of the codebase. This approach simplifies testing, focusing on business logic instead of UI complexities. Discover how the Model-View-Presenter (MVP) architecture helps achieve this, with presenters serving as a logical layer for testing and hooks aiding in separating logic from UI components.Throughout the talk, we'll discuss the trade-offs of this approach, the role of End-to-End (E2E) tests, and how to strike the perfect balance between too much and too little testing. Join us as we delve into the art of creating 'Humble Views,' ensuring that our React Native apps are scalable, maintainable, and effectively tested!

Speed and quality are the two most common factors that development and operations teams are continuously fighting between. QA plays a strategic role, it is a connection point between development and operations. How can we accelerate software delivery without sacrificing quality? Join this presentation and you will find out why QA and Ops have a complimentary mindset.

Utilizing generative AI models can result in a lot of varied and even unexpected outputs, making them less deterministic and harder to test. When trying to integrate these models into your app, it can be challenging to ensure that you maintain a high level of quality from these AI outputs, and even ensure that their results don’t crash the flow of your app. Come relive my journey of discovery into how I was able to drastically improve results from OpenAi’s ChatGPT API, for use within my company’s product. In this talk I will share many tips that will help enable you to more effectively utilize the power of AI models like ChatGPT within your own apps, including testing strategies and how to avoid many of the issues I ran into.

It's been half a decade since Mock Service Worker (MSW) has changed the way developers approach and think of API mocking in JavaScript. With all its innovation, I felt we could do more. I spent the last year making that happen. I can't wait to share it with all of you!

When writing web performance tests, the tests you create from these tools come from lab data collected from pre-defined environments, devices, and network settings. Lab data allows you to reproduce performance results repeatably, making it useful for detecting and fixing performance issues early. However, lab data ignores a very important aspect: your users’ real experience of using your applications. Field data, collected from real users under various conditions, reflect how your application is being used in the real world and track the performance your users experience and even the errors they encounter. Real users also have different user behaviors, which cannot be all simulated realistically via test scripts or test cases. Real users use different devices, network conditions, caching mechanisms, and even system fonts that can impact how a site loads. Therefore, you must still complement your performance tools that are using lab data with field data or real-user monitoring (RUM) solutions to achieve a holistic approach to web performance testing. One way to do this is by complementing Grafana k6 browser with Grafana Faro.

Start using AI at full power. Generate scenarios, write tests, and create test data faster with ChatGPT. The demonstration will be provided via Cypress tool.

In this talk, you’ll learn what flaky tests are, the importance of deterministic tests, the collateral effects of non-deterministic tests, the motives why tests can become brittle, and finally, what to do (and what not to do) when you find flaky tests

The talk "Exploring Node.js Test Runner" delves into the concept of a test runner, shedding light on its essential role within the Node.js ecosystem. It provides an overview of why the development of a test runner for Node.js took considerable time, and presents an exploration of its inner workings.

Testing is important. Proper unit tests can eliminate the chance for bugs to appear. But which testing framework will be suitable? Let’s explore how we can develop a reliable and efficient strategy for component development and testing with Vitest

Focusing on being where your users are isn't as difficult as you think. A lot of groups out there will tell you that their tool is the best and that even though none of your users use that browser or mobile setup it is fine. In this talk, David will talk about all the differences that come up, why browser vendors are even telling folks not to focus on browser engines or virtual doms, and how the setup of development environments is simple to set up these days.

By ignoring the love that is being pushed to developers and testers through the work being done there can be tests that are passing but your users are failing to use your application! Don't worry, David will have the real world examples to show you how broken things are :)

This talk focuses on building a production-grade consumer social application - https://guild.host . If you visit that site, would you be able to tell it's built using React Native just by looking and using it?

At a high level, Taz talks about what makes that possible and how the audience should consider application architecture.

At a lower level, Taz focuses on:
- How React's component composition model makes accommodating multiple platforms easy
- How large applications should use a Design System, and the Tamagui Design System comes with an optimizing compiler that outputs straight platform-specific code while the developer still writes high-level UI that happens to utilize React Native's components
- How to Server-Side Render a React Native Web application, and what considerations Guild made when choosing to create a custom SSR engine on top of Cloudflare Workers
- In order for Guild to exist anywhere, they need to embed themselves into other experiences. This involves Third-Party React Native on the Web and other platforms
- The future of this architecture, where Third-Party UI is the same as First-Party UI

For many app developers, GraphQL is instrumental in building great user experiences. With the introduction of React Suspense, developers have an ergonomic way to orchestrate loading states to improve upon the status quo. 
In this talk, the Apollo Client team will show you how we built a non-trivial application using Apollo Client’s new Suspense features, GraphQL features like the @defer directive, and how to combine them to build great user experiences in your own apps.

As web developers, it's sometimes easy to see "The Platform" as this thing we can't really change that does things for reasons we can't really understand. But that's not true! Browsers and specs are built by developers just like you and me, and the entire process is open source, which means we can do it too!

Let's take a journey through a real web platform improvement from start to finish, learning how the WHATWG and browser vendors work. By the end you'll know how to update a spec, write web platform tests, land a change in major browsers, and document your shiny new feature on MDN!

 In this talk, Tony shows how an authoring and semantic HTML-first approach to JSX template work leads to more readable, maintainable, and accessible UI components. He demonstrates how to think through implementing a UI prototype in a semantic way, authoring HTML before visuals. He shows how accessible markup improves performance, reduces DOM size, minimizes time spent on CSS, and reduces cognitive load not only for developers, but also for all our users, no matter how they consume our sites and applications.

We spend a lot of time discussing which state library we should use, and fair. There are quite a few, from the common one everyone uses and loves to hate on, to that one quirky alternative, to several up and comers. However, discussing which library is best puts the cart before the horse.

When figuring out how to handle state, we should first ask ourselves: what different categories of state do we need? What are the constraints of each category? How do they relate to each other? How do they relate to the outside world? How do we keep them from becoming a giant, brittle ball of yarn? And more.

This might sound overwhelming, but never fear! In this talk, I'll walk you through how to answer these questions, and how craft an approachable, maintainable, and scalable state system. And yes, I will talk about how to pick a state management library too.

Scaling large codebases, especially monorepos, can be a nightmare on Continuous Integration (CI) systems. The current landscape of CI tools leans towards being machine-oriented, low-level, and demanding in terms of maintenance. What's worse, they're often disassociated from the developer's actual needs and workflow.Why is CI a stumbling block? Because current CI systems are jacks-of-all-trades, with no specific understanding of your codebase. They can't take advantage of the context they operate in to offer optimizations.In this talk, we'll explore the future of CI, designed specifically for large codebases and monorepos. Imagine a CI system that understands the structure of your workspace, dynamically parallelizes tasks across machines using historical data, and does all of this with a minimal, high-level configuration. Let's rethink CI, making it smarter, more efficient, and aligned with developer needs.

Design systems are becoming increasingly popular in modern front-end development. However, measuring the usage and coverage of these design systems is often challenging. In this lightning talk, I'll discuss about a tool that we're working on which uses react-scanner and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) with custom scripts to generate component usage data for a React design system.

The talk will cover how we generate this data and how it is rendered in a dashboard to provide valuable insights on the coverage of the design system.

- Introduction to react-scanner
- Measuring Component Usage
- Identifying Native HTML elements and Styled Components
- Showing Tree structure of Page in terms of Components
- Highlighting Anti Patterns
- Benefits / Use Cases for this tool

A practical look at automating core accessibility testing and integrating it into your workflow.

When talking about contributing to open-source projects, it’s crucial to understand from a maintainer point of view what factors are stopping new contributors from contributing to your project. Whether your codebase is very overwhelming to the contributors for the first time or it  lacks good first issues and enough responsive response to their problems. 
In this talk, I will explain how I built a campaign at Amplication that scaled the contributors from 30 to 200 in just one year and how it solved every problem I mentioned above.

In this talk Cecelia will walk through some options for integrating automation into your React Native deployments, including configuration, testing, code signing, and app store uploads. Whether you are just getting started with automation or want to build a full CI/CD pipeline, this talk will have tactical examples you can start using for your own React Native app.

ASTs are prevalent in everything we do. ESLint, Typescript, etc allow us to dive into our source code in a way we might not be familiar with. Let's take a look at how some modern tools use ASTs to improve our lives as developers. Some of the tools to be covered include: TS-Morph, Typescript, TreeSitter, and ESlint. Depending on time, I can dig into various tools and patterns for working with ASTs and how they can fit into any modern developer workflow.

Finding mentorship when beginning your professional journey can be hard, yet it is so vital to have this support to build confidence, and grow at each stage of the process.  5+ years ago, Sidney reached out to me on LinkedIn with questions about bootcamps.  I was finishing my first year at Stitch Fix and from that first GoogleMeet call, we have now met nearly every month and followed and supported each other throughout our respective journeys in engineering.  We have never worked together, and we’ve never met!  Join us as we meet for the first time in person and talk about how vital our pairing has been!

You don't have to be a senior React developer to create a project and open source it! I'll show you how I built an event website with React and EUI, then shared it with the world for contributions and mentored folks who helped improve it. 

Most CSS developers today write visual styles in terms of what you literally see: exact color values, size numbers, and so on. But what if you could write styles as a function of how they fit into your design system? And what if you could get type safety in specifying and using those values, including in responsive props?

This talk will dive into some of the key features and flaws in many design system builders today such as Chakra UI and Tailwind. We'll establish what the best next steps for design systems should be with type-safe TypeScript APIs and performance both for prebuilt pages and at runtime.

These days everything has an app or website and users have come to expect perfection out of their UIs. With the bar so high, it can be overwhelming for those of us designing and building those experiences. Before you start building you need to choose fonts, type, spacing, and colours. What’s more, every decision you make seems to lead to even more options.

Shaun will show you how to work through these tough decisions in small isolated steps that will make this massive undertaking feel like a breeze. You’ll learn how to build your colours, typefaces, and spacing into design tokens, build a theme, and develop your components in isolation using tools like Storybook.

The project started out great—the team was motivated, moving fast, and shipping features ahead of schedule. But little by little, complexity found its way in. Implementing small changes takes forever now, tech debt is piling up at an alarming rate, and everyone is losing confidence that the project will ever get done. Welcome to the messy middle. 
Taking examples from real-world projects that shipped way too late, we'll explore the symptoms and causes of complexity in large React applications, and we'll share tips and strategies for dealing with it before it takes over your codebase.

In this talk, we will explore how Valtio can simplify your React state management by providing a minimalist and performant solution. We will cover the basics of Valtio, including how to create and update a store and how to access and modify the store from your components. We will also dive into some advanced Valtio features, such as subscribing to changes in the store, andusing memoization to optimize your components' performanc. By the end of this talk, you will have a solid understanding of how Valtio can make your state management more efficient and effective, allowing you to create scalable and maintainable applications.

What is suspense for data fetching in React? Why does React's model make creating network requests during render so difficult? Why does (to the presenter's knowledge) no library besides Relay support this, despite its sheer convenience?
In this talk, Robert will discuss how React renders components (especially with regards to Suspense), and how to build a data-fetching library that functions correctly in light of those behaviors. Then, with all the pieces in place, we'll use a library, @boulton/react-disposable-state, to roll our own suspense-compatible data fetching!

Lint rules enable us to uphold code quality and minimize errors. It can positively impact developer productivity and happiness especially when working in a massive application with multiple teams working together. But what if your large scale application contains thousands of lint failures over the many years it has been running in production? This talk will explore actionable strategies for effectively addressing lint failures at scale so that we can once again rely on lint rules to ensure consistent code quality and streamline development processes, leading to a more robust and maintainable codebase.

In this talk, we will go on a journey in the future of the core web vitals potential member INP, which will help in improving the interactions in all interactions in the session's lifetime, not only the first input delay as in the FID, showing some case studies and a way to optimize your website for INP, you will go away with a bunch of recommendations to do immediately

Building enterprise-grade applications is challenging. So how can you learn to build one? Start by tearing one down!! Say hello to Contoso Real Estate - an open-source reference implementation featuring a composable architecture with micro-frontends and a cloud-native backend - that provides the perfect sandbox for hands-on exploration and learning.

In this talk, we'll take the implementation for a spin using GitHub Codespaces as our local development environment to explore the code, build & preview the application and deploy it to the cloud with one command. We'll dive under the hood to understand the project structure (monorepo), developer experience (tooling) and application insights (monitoring). Want to join me on the teardown adventure? Just bring your browser and a GitHub account!

In this talk, we'll build the groundwork for a highly scalable monorepo using Turborepo and talk about the philosophies behind architecting codebases for teams of all scales. Through the power of Remote Caching, we'll never do the same work twice and we'll deliver your applications at the speed of Turbo.

Prop drilling is fine. Duplication is great. Long functions are love.

We talk a lot about bad complicated code because it’s easy to see the problem. But research shows engineers can work around self-contained bad code just fine. What really trips them up is something else entirely – architectural complexity.

Architectural complexity makes your code hard to work with, causes 3x more bugs, halves productivity, and may even cause devs to ragequit. In this talk we explore what you can do.

Design System components are like guests at a Venetian Carnival, enjoying the festivities. One guest — the disclosure widget — wears three distinct masks, elevating a Carnival to a Masquerade Ball. Or… is it? What kind of Carnival are you attending if those masks get mixed? In this talk, you’ll learn the secret to creating a reusable — and accessible — component that can masquerade as many and give your component library access to the most exclusive of Carnival attractions.

In this talk I will be covering various strategies and techniques that you can employ to make your apps fast and keep your apps fast. From tips and tricks around measuring performance, to architectural strategy and dirty rotten tricks.

This lightning talk explores how you can enrich your React projects with Web APIs. From handling data to interacting with browser features, attendees will gain insights into leveraging the power of Web APIs for an enriched and efficient React development experience to highlight the out of the box capabilities offered by Browsers.

Intro Canva's Apps SDK, which is built to empower developers to efficiently create UIs for their Canva Apps using React. Canva recently streamlined the app creation process by compiling some of the most frequently used and requested UI components by our developers in our @Canva /app-ui-kit package. I'll be sharing how we iterated upon our Apps SDK to empower developers globally to build their brand into Canva.

This talk will be centered around improving user experiences in web3 by abstracting away blockchain interactions.

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is coming Soon (TM)! Find out what's changing and why, the work that's gone into repackaging the Redux libraries, an overview of new features and breaking changes, and the latest status on the release plans.

This talk comes with bad news. Google has launched a new metric – INP – which measures how fast page interactions are. This metric becomes a Core Web Vital in Mar 2024 – and pretty much every React app Ivan has seen so far has this metric way in red.
The good news is React 18 shipped new features that help to solve this – notably, useTransition() and Suspense. And in this talk, we’ll look at how exactly these features work, what they do, and how we can use them to make INP green.

Have you ever tried browsing your favorite websites with JS disabled in your browser? It can feel like cutting a lifeline for the internet. Instead of welcoming user-friendly interfaces you’re faced with a blank wall that says “please enable JavaScript“ in the center of it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this talk, we’ll explore techniques for building modern web applications that can remain functional in a JS-free environment, and provide a full experience when JS is turned on.

React server components (RSCs) are a huge paradigm shift for React. You might even ask if NextJS and server components are the same thing (spoiler: they're not!) This talk demystifies how RSCs *really* work outside the framework. We'll build our own Node server, hook up the RSC renderer by hand, and understand the bundling and routing logic to ship a server component to your browser. Yes, all with live coding. What could go wrong...?

Let’s dive deep into React rendering and evaluate the implication of Concurrent Rendering and automated batching on code that previously relied on the synchronous nature of v17. Does it always make things better? With a real world case study, we evaluate useSyncExternalStore and flushSync as tools to restore synchronous rendering to avoid “visual tearing”. Working through the trade-offs of these approaches will give us new insights into React rendering and hints on how we can optimise our applications.

When it comes to building whimsical interfaces, React is a surprisingly capable ally. In this talk, I'll show you how I use React to orchestrate complex interactions by digging into some examples from my blog.

In the 10 yrs that React has been present, we've seen an unprecedented amount of progress on the web. The browsers have grown in capabilities by leaps and bounds, tooling exploded and frameworks slowly emerged to become quotidian technology. But just as the web changed, so did users of the web AND their needs. Performance engineers have monitored the lavish and liberal use of frameworks, resulting in the disservice to users AND their user experiences. "R3ACT" is talk that will uncover and discuss some performance perils as they appear on the web, with React in mind, supported by lab and rum data.

A behind the scenes look at the design and development of the all-new React docs at react.dev. The new react.dev launched this year introducing new methodologies like challenges and interactive sandboxes and subtle inclusivity features, like "international tone" and culturally agnostic examples. Not only have the new docs changed how people learn React, they've inspired how we think about developer education as a community. In this talk, you will learn how the React team and some ambitious community members made the "React docs rock" for a generation of front end developers and how these new patterns and established techniques can be applied in your favorite projects.

Over the past two years, we’ve dramatically improved Wix Website performance, beating all of our competitors in Core Web Vitals. This project was a company-wide effort to finally solve the number one user complaint in the company – live site performance. 
In this talk, I will take a deep dive into the design changes that were implemented to achieve this significant improvement, and explain why and how those solutions could be applied in any web application to achieve similar results.

The promise of Lighthouse is pretty cool, right? Visit any website, and with only a few clicks, you can get a performance score for it!Wouldn’t it be grand if we had the same thing for React Native apps? 
Well, you’re in luck! let me present our new open source tool called Flashlight 🔦 (cause you know, a Flashlight is basically a very small “mobile” lighthouse, right?)

Local-first is a new paradigm for developing apps, where your components talk to a local embedded database and you get instant reactivity, multi-user sync and conflict-free offline support built in. ElectricSQL is a new, open-source, platform for local-first development from the inventors of CRDTs. This talk introduces local-first development and shows how you can develop real-world local-first apps today with React + ElectricSQL.

In this lightning talk, we will explore the significance of code reviews in open source projects, specifically within the React ecosystem. We'll discuss the benefits of code reviews for maintaining code quality, encouraging collaboration, and upholding project standards. By emphasizing effective feedback, respectful communication, and the use of relevant tools, participants will gain practical insights on conductingimpactful React code reviews. Join me to learn how code reviews can enhance the development process, encourage knowledge sharing, and contribute to the success of open source projects in the React community.

As software developers, we often use open-source libraries. In this talk, I will share a few tips on selecting an open-source library and what to pay attention to when working with open-source libraries.

Gathering pieces of information for a task or a project is a wasteful act and could result in duplicated work done by different people.Onboarding, your ability to maintain code or infrastructure and systems handover - Documentation plays a crucial part in all these processes.So... how can we write technical docs in an easy way & why should we even do it?
In this talk, I’ll show you a structured way to write technical docs, without being a technical writer - So you will deliver highly valuable information to your audience, to your best ability.I’ll explain why should you care about these docs, how do they serve your best interests (Yes, there’s more than one!) and what a wide impact it could make on employees and even on your entire organization.

Planby is a React based component for a quick implementation of Schedules, Timelines, Electronic Program Guide, Music/Sport events, Calendar Planner  and many more ideas.  It uses a custom virtual view which allows you to operate on a really big number of data.

What if we could generate production-ready React components (including props, responsiveness, CSS styling, TypeScript typings, and more) from Figma designs, automatically? This seemingly impossible task is becoming a reality thanks to the latest advancements in AI (such as ChatGPT).
In this talk, we’ll discuss some of the techniques we are using at Anima to automate the boring parts of frontend development, generating React components from Figma designs. We’ll cover some algorithmic techniques, processes and deep-learning based approaches that could help you speed up your day-to-day frontend work.

From my experience one of the hardest things is to share information between microfrontends, so in this talk I would like to explain various ways on how to share a design system to ensure uniformity to the application. Another difficult thing is sharing dependencies, fortunately with module federation it can be done, but how can I use different versions of the same library and how does it work behind the scenes?
I'm the creator of module-federation/vite library, with React and this library, I'd like to show you how you can achieve these results by configuring everything correctly.
