Talk #1
Introduction to React Hooks
Hooks were added to React last year. If you haven’t tried them out yet, this talk aims to give an introduction with some examples. We’ll also cover some factors to consider in using them and some examples of how to write tests for code using Hooks.
Talk #2
Taking Flight with Tailwind CSS
Things we’ll cover:
- Advantages and disadvantages to utility based styling and Tailwind.
- How to install Tailwind and add it to your build process using tools such as Symfony Encore and Laravel Mix.
- How to configure and customise Tailwind for your project.
- How to promote repeating classes into re-usable components for better maintainability.
- Strategies to control the file size, and using external tools like PurgeCSS.
Also, if time allows:
- How to extend Tailwind and add extra classes with community written plugins.
- How to write and test your own custom plugins.
