React Helsinki August 2018 meetup was hosted by Smartly.io at their office in Postitalo next to the Central Railway Station. Here’s my short notes from the event. To follow the community, React Helsinki has also a Facebook group.
The meetup started with Splitting React codebases for increased development speed by Hugo Kiiski from Smartly.io. He told how their Video Editor component is separated from main frontend. Code is in monorepo managed by Lerna. More tools going to be splitted. The recording of the presentation can be seen on Vimeo. (Twitter)
Second topic was live coding and Making your own Ignite generator – for React Native by Toni Ristola from Gofore. It’s useful e.g. if you do many projects in a year. The recording of the presentation can be seen on Vimeo. (Twitter)
Use GraphQL! by Mikhail Novikov showed a quick intro to GraphQL, covered the current state of its adoption and described several ways of how to move to GraphQL. GraphQL “fills the gap between client and server developer needs and values. Matching server capabilities with client requirements.” GraphQL clients to use are i.a. Apollo and Relay. See the slides for more information. The recording of the presentation can be seen on Vimeo. (Twitter)
As I mentioned the event has hosted by Smartly.io and their office in Postitalo was cosy and had nice demo room for the meetup. Also the food and beverages were nice althought the hamburger patty was a bit too raw.
