One of the chief reasons why we adopted React Native at Flipkart was to deliver Over The Air (OTA) updates to our 50+ million users instantly. When we looked at the known existing solutions like CodePush etc, we found three major issues that were not solved but were critical for us, The updates were not really instant as a cached bundle gets loaded while it …

Building react components in isolation to fullfil business use case and to acheive Zero coupling. Automated browser UI testing using JavaScript and webdriver for your react components in isolation & how to avoid test cancer.

Why - At Housing.com, when we moved to react from BackboneJS, we started gradually, creating components like just home page then list view, and so on. But we soon realised that, components(reusable components) are getting messier, since there are so many components just because everything is component in React. Components started growing like crazy. Problem …

Building user interfaces on the web is hard, because the web, and thus CSS, was inherently made for documents. Because interactive UIs fundamentally differ from flat documents, we’ve seen a mindset shift towards building component-based systems. That progression has lead to a rise in options for including your CSS in your JavaScript code, much the same way t…

Fiber release brought with it some pretty cool features but the best is yet to come! First, let’s talk about array children, error boundaries and renderToStream. Then, I’ll give you a sneak peak into one of the upcoming features that might change the way you build your React applications. Portals open up a lot of opportunities and traps!

This talk would assume basic familiarity with Redux. I would use half of the talk to explain what are generator functions. Generators are very different from anything javascript has had in the past. This turns off many people to adopt Redux Sagas as each heavily relies on generators. The remaining half I will cover how we handle async actions in projects at …

With most apps being built with React these days and Redux being a very popular state management library, have we identified a standard pattern for consuming APIs? What about JWT, automatic retries, caching, optimistic updates and handing failure? This talk approaches all of the above and identifies reusable patterns to make this a breeze.

React is one of the most popular libraries for front end development. With its dramatic rise, there have been considerable amount of patterns that have emerged out while breaking the applications into independent components. While some patterns enhance the structuring of client side components and improve the overall engineering process, others cause unfores…

The talk will draw on our learnings from the efforts that we undertook earlier this year to improve UrbanClaps’s website performance, resulting in a 60% reduction in load time. All our efforts towards performance engineering can be bucketed in roughly two areas, ship less assets and tweaking order of delivery of assets. In this talk I will primarily focus on…

This talk shall focus on DraftJS, a rich text editor framework built for React apps; and how it leverages ImmutableJS; for managing the state of an editor in its entirety, with sufficient examples. The key takeaway insights of the talk include, How DraftJS works under the hood — “What goes into”, and the “How to” of building rich text editors for React appli…
