Modern software projects grow at a fast pace with new features, hot-fixes, refactors and migration, codebases tend to accumulate dead code, unused dependencies, and files that were forgotten but are still sitting in your source code. As a project grows, most of the time unused code starts piling up. As a result it slows down […]
Introduction Traditionally, we used ternary operators or CSS style attributes (display and visibility) to implement conditional rendering in a React component, but the issue with this approach was that either it caused internal state loss or was not performance-friendly. With React 19, a new component called Activity has been introduced which can implement conditional rendering […]
Introduction Imagine opening Netflix and waiting 10 seconds for the homepage to load. Would you stay? Probably not. In today’s world, users want speed, smoothness, and instant results. That’s exactly what Next.js delivers for developers, and why it feels like coding in the future. The Struggle Before Next.js Back when developers only used plain React […]
State management is one of the most important cogs of a React application. Developers can opt to work with built-in solutions, such as useContext or state management libraries like Jotai or Redux. This decision has a significant impact on the application’s performance and maintainability. I decided to look into Jotai, a modern atomic state management […]
Introduction For years, JavaScript frameworks have followed a predictable pattern for managing UI updates: maintain state, detect changes, and trigger re-renders. React popularized this approach with useState, useEffect, and the virtual DOM. But what if we could update our UI without triggering a full component re-render? Enter Signals — a new, fine-grained reactivity model that’s […]
Introduction When it comes to creating production-ready websites, JavaScript is an essential element. It brings websites to life by adding interactivity, dynamism, and a user-friendly experience. Whether you’re looking to implement real-time location tracking for a food delivery app or track user traffic with a bar graph on an admin dashboard, JavaScript is the key […]
Introduction Performance is key in modern web development. Managing efficient rendering becomes crucial as web applications grow in complexity and data volume. One effective technique for improving performance in React applications is virtualization. This article will explore virtualization, why it matters, and how to implement it in a React application. What is Virtualization? In web […]
This is a step-by-step guide for integrating ESLint and Prettier into a React Native project to ensure code quality and consistent formatting. You are essentially setting up Airbnb’s style guide with React-specific configurations and integrating it with Prettier to automatically format the code. Steps Breakdown 1. Install Dependencies Remove the previous ESLint configuration, and install […]
Introduction React is a powerful library for developing user interfaces, and one of its key strengths lies in its component model. React components can be written as class components or functional components, and each has a different way of handling the lifecycle of components. This blog will explore the social mechanisms of learning components and […]
