Talks:



Luis Ramirez - React Context API



In this talk, we will get a look at the Context API, one of React’s newest and most powerful tools that gives you the ability to manage your data in a way that was not accessible to React ever before. We will explore the best practices for using this robust feature, track through the Provider/Consumer relationships and look into different implementation patterns to understand how flexible the Context API really is!



Colin McCarthy and William Adamowicz - Add HOC: Using Higher-Order Components in React



A discussion of React's higher-order components and how best to implement them to make your applications more versatile and cut down on your development time. We will focus on a conceptual discussion of HOCs, common use cases for them, a walkthrough of creating one, and a dive under the hood of common implementations like Redux's "connect" function.
