Best practices for building a large scale react application

While making a Single Page App with React, it is very easy for your code-base to become unorganized. There are many good libraries in the React ecosystem that can be used to manage certain aspects of the app, this article covers some of them in depth. Other than that, it lists some good practices to follow from the beginning of the project if you have scalability in mind

React: Optimize Components with React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback

In most cases, React performance is not something you need to worry about. The core library does a ton of work under the hood to make sure everything is rendering efficiently. However, occasionally you can run into scenarios where your components are rendering more often than they need to and slowing your site down. This article looks at some solutions.

Four patterns for global state with React hooks: Context or Redux

Global state or shared state is one of the biggest issues when you start developing a React app. Should we use Redux? Do hooks provide a Redux-like solution? In this post, Daishi would like to show four patterns toward using Redux.

When to useMemo and useCallback

Performance optimizations ALWAYS come with a cost but do NOT always come with a benefit. In this post Kent breaks down those costs (and benefits) of useMemo and useCallback.

react-redux v7.1.0 released

react-redux v7.1.0 (the one with Hooks) was released this week.

🎇 Rethinking Focus
In this GitHub issue, the team outlines a proposal that rethinks how focus is managed in React apps. Get involved!

⏱ Scheduler: Delay Option
A new option was added to the scheduler API to allow callbacks to only run after a specific delay has passed.

⚛️🛠 Experimental DevTools: Owner Tree
Check out this Twitter thread by Brian to learn more about the Owner Tree view coming to the new DevTools. The team is also working on React Native support.

⏲ Scheduler: Use isInputPending()
isInputPending(), a new API to check if the browser has events enqueued, is now used inside the Scheduler behind a feature flag.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15911

🧪 Warn If Passive Effects Get Queued Outside of act()
With this change, React will now warn when effects are queued outside of an act() call.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15763

⏰ Scheduler: requestPaint()
The requestPaint() API is used by React to signalize the Scheduler that it needs to yield to let the browser paint the page. This is necessary since the new use of isInputPending() would otherwise cause the Scheduler to run more low-priority work.

🧽 Construct Error at Invariant Call Site
Invariant Errors are now constructed directly at call site to remove one level of the call stack.
