React's context API has always been labelled as experimental, but from the advent of Redux it has been used in all the most exciting react libraries. It's about to become a stabilised feature so now is the perfect time to learn the new context API.
Combining the context API and render props lets gives you unprecedented power to cleanly reuse code across components. It even plays well with TypeScript and Flow. This talk will explain how context and render props work and give you some ideas of how to use them to simplify your own code.

At some point when you often start with GraphQL you often think how do I even start integrating to my frontend tech stack with GraphQL. The talk is going to be all about explaining a boilerplate available from basic to advanced level. This is one of the open source project I am working with Graphcool team as an open source developer.

As apps begin to scale, many developers find themselves asking the question - but where does all the hard stuff go? The complicated data manipulation, the validation, the process flow of our apps. In other words, the business logic. If React is designed for the view layer, and we’re using Redux or something similar for the state, then where does the business logic go? This talk looks at the different options and tries to answer that question.

Kitze

ReactAcademy, Macedonia

The obsession to always move on to the latest and greatest, and the fear of missing out while working with something that's older than a few months is currently dominating the dev world.
Do you have enough time to learn the latest version of your favourite library or framework? Will this leave enough time if you need to learn something new? Should you stick with what you know? Should you forget about what you are using and start learning something new? What are other front-end developers using? Should you follow the crowd? This is a problem that everyone struggles with. So many decisions to make, but Kitze will help you find the answers.

Large applications cannot be structured the same way as small applications. Many good decisions you make for a small application suddenly become bad once it grows in code and organization size. Let me walk you through a number of challenges and good decisions for scalable applications.

In this talk we'll dive into the approaches and strategies needed to create a great unit test environment for your JavaScript and React applications. We'll examine what makes the perfect test, what to avoid, and how to use more complex features like mocks and spies to enable you to write tests more easily. We'll also look at some of the common pitfalls and mistakes people make that can really begin to hurt you as your test suite grows.

CSS is hard !I made a living out of it being hard but when React was introduced we had a whole new level of fighting over CSS. There are so many ways to approach it and so many tradeoffs one can do when choosing the better approach that a talk that will go over these options is more than necessary. Let's walk this road thogheter and I promise it will all be fine and you will leave with an ideia of type of styling is better for each project. Hint: There is no perfect way...

One of the crucial elements of performance is to ship relevant content to your users as soon as possible. But in modern web applications, figuring out what to ship and what to prioritize can be hard. Framework driven applications have the big disadvantage of being pretty heavy for the initial load. We will start from understanding how the browser works, then we will explain what the critical rendering path is and how we can optimize it. Expect a talk full of valuable resources and ideas that one can use to improve the performance of a modern web application, with a case study on a React powered application.

Jeremias Menichelli

Have you ever wondered why good performance is so hard to achieve in heavy animated web applications?
This talk is a practical retrospective on the discoveries, the pains and the journey that led me to build reliable bulletproof animations and transitions in real life production projects.

Raphael Amorim

Talk about reconciler, life cycles, and custom-renderer. The idea is to introduce how to create a custom renderer and how the reconciler handles elements, components, and instances.

React Native is amazing at helping you deliver in production live apps very quickly. But to get there, you sometimes have to cut corners. Once you have a successful app loved by thousands of users, you start to wonder how to tackle performance issues. Figuring out where to start can be tricky.
This will be a practical guide about tools that can help you identify bottlenecks and quickly find ways to increase your app’s performance.

Karan Thakkar

Skyscanner, UK

In this talk, Karan will share his learnings from working on the React Native infrastructure at Skyscanner. These are concepts, issues and roadblocks that a developer would encounter in their journey of integrating React Native in a brownfield app. Knowing these ahead of time would help folks take the right decisions when building their own React Native infrastructure.

Raphael Eidus

HuffPost, USA

At HuffPost we just finished rebuilding our main android news app in React Native. Explore some of the decisions we made about our code base and how those decisions impacted the success of the project and its future potential. Covering the React Native Bridge, State Management, Data Persistence, Offline Experiences, Asynchronous Tasks, Testing, and more. Attendees of this talk should be be able to make an informed decision at the end of the talk about whether React Native would be useful in their next project in addition to knowing how to avoid common problems.

Vector graphics is in fact the best way to provide great visualization and interaction combined. It exist on all platforms in some way or form, so it's just natural to use it in React Native. In this talk, I'll show you how I integrated the use of SVG with the opinionated component and state system of React, but in the same time keeping things highly performant when interacting with the UI thread - a topic a lot of developers are struggling with.
