Dan Abramov’s blog Overreacted is pure gold and contains a ton of information. Take today’s post “Making setInterval Declarative with React Hooks” for example, in which he explains why setInterval and Hooks (which should be released in today’s planned React 16.8 release) don’t play that nice together out of the box. // This won’t work […]

The React Handbook
If you’re looking to get started with React, then the (massive) React Handbook will come in handy. The React Handbook follows the 80/20 rule: learn in 20% of the time the 80% of a topic. Best part of it all is that it starts with a big section on Modern JavaScript (e.g. ES2015 and newer) […]
RE: The React is “just” JavaScript Myth
🗣 This was originally posted as a reply over at Dave’s blog. Unfortunately Disqus – the commenting system Dave uses – thinks it’s spam, so I’m posting it here as a full post instead. In his blogpost The React is “just” JavaScript Myth, Dave Rupert said this: React shows up on the scene with Babel, […]
React v16.3.0: New Lifecycle Events and Context API
React 16.3.0 just got released. Next to being able to forward refs and some changes to the lifecycle events it also sports a new Context API which I’ve written about before. Even though the introductory blogpost over at the React blog is very detailed, the video below – covering the new Context API – forms […]
Convert SVG to JSX with SVGR
Ooh, this one’s handy. Paste in (no drag and drop unfortunately) the contents of an SVG file and out comes the JSX code for immediate use within your React project. SVGR also simplifies your SVG using SVGO (which is also the driving force behind SVGOMG) SVGR : The SVG to JSX transformer →
Unstated — The setState of React State Management
Unstated is designed to build on top of the patterns already set out by React components and (the new) Context. Unstated is built upon three pieces that all work together: Container <Subscribe> <Provider> The idea is that the Container only keeps itself busy with the state. Using <Subscribe> you can link that state to your […]
The exciting future of React
Good talk by Kitze on some of the new features of React. Think Error Boundaries, the new Context API, etc. Additionally he also looks forwards to getDerivedStateFromProps, the upcoming deprecation of componentWillMount / componentWillUpdate / componentWillReceiveProps, and the aforementioned (but no longer available?) call-return feature.
What’s next for React? Beyond React 16
Dan Abramov – of Redux fame – just spoke at JSConf Iceland 2018 previewing two new features that will make it in a future version of React. The first demo shows time slicing, which can be translated to async rendering: “We’ve built a generic way to ensure that high-priority updates don’t get blocked by a […]
Proton Native – Create Native Desktop Applications Powered by React
Unlike Electron this one results in true Native Components being outputted. Proton Native does the same to desktop that React Native did to mobile. Build cross-platform apps for the desktop, all while never leaving the React eco-system. Popular React packages such as Redux still work. import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { render, […]
