Meet React Flight and Become a RSC Expert
Top Content
Image
My name is Mauro and I work for a company called Doubleloop in Italy. Today, I'm going to share my learning journey through puzzles and challenges related to React Server Components (RSC). RSC allows for server-side rendering and streaming of components. React flight, a protocol used to serialize and share rendering jobs, is a key feature of RSC. RSC can be used without a server, known as React Serverless Components. Using RSC, different types of content can be switched using the useState hook. RSC can be effectively used on a server by starting Node.js with a specific flag. Client-only components recognized by RSC can be executed on the client. React Streaming Components introduces the streaming concept and allows for continuous updates of the page. Advanced features of React Streaming Components include asynchronous rendering, suspense, and recursion. The React Strange Constraints challenge focuses on optimizing rendering by sending the initial page as HTML. The use of a proxy and RSE payload allows for client hydration of RSC. The possibility of using languages other than JavaScript, such as Rust, for server components is explored. RSC has the potential to become a language-agnostic protocol. The meaning of client-server roles in RSC can be extended. RSC offers streaming capabilities and the ability to balance server and client work. Infinite streaming is possible with server sockets. RSC hydration is believed to be faster than regular hydration. The Talk concludes by encouraging questions during the Q&A session.

The End of Frontend Fragmentation? How Rust is Unifying Frameworks & Tooling
Image
Starting a Greenfield project involves choosing frameworks, testing tools, linting, formatting, and runtime with the aim of unifying frameworks and tooling using Rust. The End of Framework Fragmentation with Rust aims for a great Developer Experience (DX) by choosing frameworks and tools based on ease of use, integration, documentation, ecosystem, speed, reliability, and future-proofing. Development benefits from the Vite server with HMR, native ESM, and optimized production builds, aiming to unify tools into the Rolldown bundler. Understanding dependency graphs, build steps, JSX, TypeScript, and bundle optimization are crucial for code organization and user experience enhancement. Bundling optimizes code for faster load times, while tool selection streamlining simplifies production builds. Vappack and OXE offer optimization features, and module resolution, code transformation, build transformation, and minification optimization play key roles in performance. Benchmarking shows SWC and OXC Minify performance comparison, and linting and formatting tools like OxLint and OXC Minify enhance development efficiency. VTest provides seamless testing, aiming for performance and compatibility, with plans for roll on Vite to become the default bundler for smoother processes.

React Query API Design – Lessons Learned
Top Content

I'm super excited to be here today, giving my first live talk at an in-person conference. Dominik, the maintainer of React Query, walks through the API design decisions, including success stories, trade-offs, and mistakes. Tener Linsley designed React Query's medium-sized query API to be minimal, intuitive, powerful, and flexible. Major versions in open source require marketing efforts, but not primarily for adding new features. TypeScript is crucial for building projects and managing user demands in open source can be challenging. The addition of the max pages option improved performance and avoided unnecessary refetches. Inversion of control gives users flexibility, but mistakes can happen in API design. Open source requires time management and feedback from users. API design is influenced by typing ease and good TypeScript support. Getting involved in open source involves trial and error and joining community platforms like TanStack Discord. Dominik's journey started during the pandemic and he can be found on Twitter, TanStack Discord, and his blog.
