Exploring useActionState 59:57

24 weeks ago59:57

59:57

Sam and Ryan talk about React 19's useActionState hook. They discuss how adding async functions to a plain React app introduces lots of in-between states that developers must grapple with, and how useActionState allows React to collapse and eliminate these states, bringing the simplicity of React's sync mental model to our async code. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:51 - How React normally eliminates state in synchronous apps 8:20 - How useActionState lets React eliminate state in asynchronous apps 18:17 - Why you shouldn't just pass server actions into useActionState 23:00 - TCP/IP and UDP analogy 26:39 - Thinking of useActionState like enqueue 34:55 - Why the term "reducer" is too loaded for best understanding useActionState 51:07 - How useActionState helps you build a Todo app that stays responsive during pending actions…

Can you self-host Next.js? 58:03

29 weeks ago58:03

58:03

Sam and Ryan talk about how frameworks and infrastructure evolve with each other, using Next.js as a representative example. They discuss how hosting providers like Heroku have always imposed certain constraints on apps, what features those constraints enable hosting providers to support, how burdensome those constraints are across different frameworks, and how frameworks that add infra-specific APIs can best communicate the costs of those APIs and benefits they enable. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 3:03 - Heroku and the Twelve-Factor App 7:39 - GitHub Pages and static sites 13:57 - Serverless and JAMstack 17:30 - Vercel and CDNs, self-hosting, and Next.js 19:00 - How framework APIs can nudge an app towards a particular hosting solution 23:09 - What constraints does Next.js impose on your app (e.g. middleware doesn't run node), and what benefits do those constraints give you? 36:13 - How Next.js APIs are motivated by wanting to tease apart static and dynamic code, in an attempt to support the needs of any web app with a single stack 40:33 - What is the relationship between frameworks and infra? 47:37 - How can frameworks that add infra-specific APIs best communicate the costs of those APIs and the benefits they enable?

Tom Occhino on the future of React 1:00:27

32 weeks ago1:00:27

1:00:27

Tom Occhino, Chief Product Officer at Vercel and former Engineering Director at Facebook, joins Sam to talk about the pivotal moments in React's history. He talks about how React popularized the ideas of declarative rendering and unidirectional data flow, how GraphQL furthered React's goal of co-locating all the concerns of a particular piece of UI, the problems that GraphQL led to at Facebook and how Relay solved them, and how Suspense, Server Components, and PPR are the generalized spiritual successors to the stack used at Facebook. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 2:53 - Declarative rendering as React's legacy 8:12 - How GraphQL enabled complex components to be fully self-contained 20:12 - How React's goal has always been to co-locate all the concerns of a particular piece of UI 22:58 - The problem with co-locating GraphQL with components, and how Relay solved it 26:28 - How RSC is the generalized spiritual successor to BigPipe and GraphQL 34:46 - What PPR is, and how it and Suspense fit into this story 55:55 - The general paradigm shift of getting static code to the device as soon as possible Links: Tom Occhino with Ben Dunphy React: The Documentary React Roundtable with Andrew Clark and Sebastian Markbåge Tom Occhino on Twitter…

Render props 34:43

34 weeks ago34:43

34:43

Sam and Ryan talk about render props in React. They discuss where they came from, how Hooks superseded them for sharing stateful logic, how data attributes compare to them for customizing styling, and how for certain complex components like forms they're still a great solution for accessing slices of internal state. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 3:40 - Where did render props come from? 6:01 - How hooks replaced many use cases for render props 8:14 - Using render props for custom styling 10:32 - Data attributes vs. render props for custom styling 16:43 - Using render props to peek into an uncontrolled component's internal state 21:05 - Forms example and using render props for a smaller public API 24:10 - React docs mention of render props 25:48 - Where render props shine Links: Headless UI Menu Radix Forms React Aria Forms React docs - Render props Our upcoming course on React Component Patterns Email Sam Email Ryan…

Controlled and uncontrolled components 47:25

35 weeks ago47:25

47:25

Sam and Ryan discuss controlled and uncontrolled components in React. They talk about how uncontrolled components can be thought of as components that manage their own internal state, why you should model your complex React components after the simpler APIs of native HTML elements like inputs, why you shouldn't try to make components that are both controlled and uncontrolled, and why making a new component boundary is sometimes all you need to make your custom components behave more predictably. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:41 - What are controlled and uncontrolled components? 6:11 - How to change a component from uncontrolled to controlled 8:48 - How do you decide when to use a controlled or uncontrolled component? 12:00 - Sortable table example and a single source of truth 15:27 - Is it always either controlled or uncontrolled? 21:09 - Color picker example and not exposing internal state 28:46 - Sortable list example with Framer Motion 39:45 - Component boundaries and wearing two hats: the library author vs. library consumer 41:43 - How do you know if you are using the wrong approach?

Unstyled React components 34:08

37 weeks ago34:08

34:08

Sam and Ryan talk about the pattern of building unstyled components with React. They discuss why unstyled components were created, how they improve upon composition patterns from UI libraries like Bootstrap, how they can be used to share behavior and logic without prescribing any styling opinions, and how they fit into a larger collection of React patterns that can be used to build more powerful components that avoid premature abstractions. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:36 - What are unstyled components? 2:24 - How do unstyled components improve upon earlier patterns? 6:44 - Why would you want to use an unstyled component? 9:58 - How can you compose an unstyled component with a styled component? 16:41 - How to decide which pattern is best suited for the code you want to share 19:36 - Using patterns that preserve React's locality of behavior 24:49 - How do you know if an abstraction is good? 32:54 - Build UI's upcoming course on Advanced React Component Patterns Links: Build UI's newest course: Advanced React Component Patterns Sam's YouTube video on Recursive Components Email Sam Email Ryan…

What is a framework? 1:02:38

39 weeks ago1:02:38

1:02:38

Sam and Ryan talk about what sorts of capabilities a tool should have to be considered a web framework. They discuss how frameworks tackle the complexity of getting different systems to communicate with each other, how good frameworks embrace the strengths and patterns of the language they're written in, and why frameworks and services are not in opposition to each other. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 3:58 - Adapter pattern and cohesive boundaries 9:43 - Rails is Omakase 13:47 - Configurable, but still cohesive 17:04 - Frontend frameworks try to “work with everything” 21:42 - Does composition mean a React framework will look different than Rails? 29:29 - Why taste still matters 34:20 - A framework is a shell of adapters and a brain that coordinates them 35:16 - When using services, complexity still exists in the in-between 37:59 - A fullstack dev is someone who acknowledges and understands how all the parts come together 44:06 - Tweets about the hard problems that Laravel tackles, and the deep design it took to get there 49:15 - Frameworks should embrace the strengths and patterns of their language and ecosystem 50:35 - Why RSCs and Server Actions mean the “Rails for JS” may end up looking nothing like Rails 52:11 - Why users of a “fullstack framework” shouldn’t even care about where the code is running 55:31 - Why libraries or services that are easy to install and set up are not a replacement for frameworks Links: Sam's BigSkyDevCon talk Rails is omakase Povilas' Laravel tweet Mary's Laravel tweet Build UI's upcoming React Component Patterns course Email Sam Email Ryan…

59:17

Sam joins Lane Wagner in a crossover episode with the Backend Banter podcast. They talk about abstractions in frontend and backend frameworks, what JavaScript is doing differently from other languages and frameworks, why the frontend should drive the backend even if you're building in a server-side framework, and what's so special about React Server Components.

SPAs in React 19 59:34

42 weeks ago59:34

59:34

Sam and Ryan discuss the new features in React 19 that will specifically benefit developers building single-page applications. They talk about how Suspense and Transitions let developers "teach" React about when their apps are in a loading or a pending state, how Client Actions improve upon using events in React 18 to handle data mutations, and how Actions enable React Components to automatically render and discard optimistic updates without any knowledge of the application's data layer. They also discuss several new Hooks like useOptimistic, useFormStatus, useActionState, and useOptimistic. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 2:19 - How SPAs are built in React 18 5:29 - How Suspense made loading a first-class concept in React 7:48 - The problem with data writes in React 18 10:37 - What are Client Actions? 12:05 - What does it look like to use Actions? 14:13 - What are the benefits of Actions? 18:46 - How does React 19 change the Optimistic UI story? 29:40 - Working with Transitions outside of Actions 36:06 - The useActionState Hook 37:51 - Using Transitions to keep the old UI rendered and responsive 41:25 - How Transitions enable better composition patterns in third-party libraries 43:55 - Building a SortableList that flips between being controlled and uncontrolled Links: React Unpacked: A Roadmap to React 19…

1:14:10

Sam and Ryan talk about the difference between the costs of building a feature and the benefits that feature brings to our end users. They discuss how libraries and frameworks can lower the technical cost of building a given feature, how Ryan Florence framed this calculation in his talk at Big Sky Dev Con, and how sometimes developers’ opinions and tastes about tech can smuggle their way from the cost side of the equation into the benefit side. Topics include: 0:00 - Intro 6:53 - How Ryan Florence framed the problem in his talk “Mind the Gap” 14:38 - How frontend frameworks and backend frameworks both have their own ways of crossing the network gap 19:11 - How Network-Sensitive Interactions force technologies to grapple with both server and client environments 23:02 - How React is trying to lower the cost of moving interactions between the server and client with Server Components and Server Actions 26:53 - Why “Use the right tool for the job” doesn’t capture the dynamic requirements of living software 31:53 - How discussions about the product benefits of a feature and the technical costs of that feature are often conflated with each other 34:08 - A thought experiment from economics that highlights how uncertainty plays a role in the estimation of product benefits 56:54 - How to think about tech choice independently of the estimation of product benefits Links: "Mind the Gap" by Ryan Florence Zero-JavaScript View Transitions in Astro…
