Data fetching makes up a large part of our React apps, yet it's also some of the most complex code we write. GraphQL can help us reduce this complexity, especially when it's combined with intelligent tooling. 

In this talk, we'll explore how to achieve a friction-free state management experience with GraphQL and Apollo right inside your editor.

A Journey Through React Apollo

The future of state management in React apps is here! 

In this talk, we'll discuss why GraphQL queries and mutations are a perfect fit for describing what's happening with our app's local and remote data. 

You'll also learn how Apollo Client can simplify React state management by eliminating configuration and providing one unified interface to all of your app's data.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could write a React component once and render it in web, native, and even VR applications without changing a single line of code? Thanks to several libraries that bring React Native’s primitives and APIs to the web, now you can! This talk will introduce three libraries that allow you to develop cross-platform components: React Native Web, React Primitives, and ReactXP. You’ll also learn how to architect your shared component base to achieve maximum reuse across platforms.

Crossing the bridge between native and JavaScript code can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! This talk will simplify the process of bridging native modules & components by breaking down common patterns found in bridging implementations for iOS & Android.

Whether you’re integrating a brownfield native application, an existing native component, or a third-party SDK into your React Native project, you will eventually have to cross the bridge between native code and JavaScript. This process can definitely be intimidating, especially if you’re coming from a JavaScript background. 

In my talk, I will demystify the bridging process by exposing common patterns and best practices for bridging native components and modules. To simplify bridging concepts, I will show you how to use react-native-create-bridge, a CLI that auto-generates native module & component templates in Obj-C, Swift, and Java. You’ll also learn how to communicate between native modules and JS code by properly utilizing eventDispatcher (iOS) and DeviceEventEmitter (Android). 

By the end of this talk, you’ll leave feeling confident enough in the fundamental concepts of bridging to build a native component or module and use it in your React Native app.
