In this blog, Iโll focus on one tool you might use for State Management, Recoil. First, weโll look at why State Management is an effective strategy in general. Then, weโll turn our attention to Recoil, and finally, weโll dive head first into a demo. By the end, you should have all the tools necessary to begin using Recoil on your own!
Web application users are accustomed to canceling a popup (aka dialog or modal) by pressing the escape key, and many modals can even cancel if the user clicks outside it. How does a React developer code that without a plumbing mess between the modal and every visible component beneath it? How do you cancel a React modal with an escape key or external click?
I’m glad you asked because I have an answer. In this blog, Iโll show a pair of easy-to-use custom React hooks that simplify the task.
In the world of technology and development, there are many different types of frontend frameworks that are used. In this post, weโll discuss two of the biggest ones, Angular and React, and one of the newer ones, Blazor.
Webpage navigation is something that is intrinsic to almost every website that goes past โHello World.” In this blog, I will be exploring React-Router,ย a client and server-side routing library that can run anywhere React can. More specifically, I will be focusing on what changed with the new v6 version…
Back in 2015 and 2016, I wrote two blogs that went step by step to develop a microservice/Netty architecture with fully working code called Whirlpool.
A lot has changed in the years since, so recently I decided to come back to the project, update it with the latest versions of Kafka and Netty, and add a React UI to it (rather than the vanilla JavaScript version it used before). In addition, I also added Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) scripts in addition to the Mac and Linux scripts that were there before and made all of the scripts more robust.
This blog will be about the work that went into all of those updates, plus a look at the new React UI. This provides an excellent view into what it takes to update an outdated microservices application implemented with Kafka (version .9 –>3.0) and Netty (4.1.3->5.0.0-alpha2), bringing all versions up to date and adding a React UI. By the end youโll be familiar with the latest versions of these frameworks, know some โgotchasโ to avoid, as well as understand how to integrate WebSockets into React.
