Instant Search Params with React Server Components

Instant Search Params with React Server Components

An awesome interactive article showing that it’s surprisingly hard to persist UI state to the query string in a React Server Component world and yet give immediate user feedback. Updating the URL triggers a server round-trip. The new useOptimistic hook solves this problem nicely. This also shows a nice use-case for CSS :has(), to avoid hoisting the startTransition pending state.


Building a React Metaframework with Vinxi

Building a React Metaframework with Vinxi

TIL about Vinxi, a toolbox built on top of Vite and Nitro enabling you to easily create your own meta-framework, with support, SSR, routing conventions, server functions and everything. Solid Start uses it behind the hood, but it’s a framework-agnostic SDK. Apparently, TanStack Start will use it too! This article explains how to use it with React.

This past week, we all enjoyed a brief respite from major headline React Native news (or did I miss something, in this case @me). Perhaps that's a welcome change, especially after the whirlwind of events like Expo 50, visionOS, the State of React Native, react-strict-dom, and more. However, this doesn't mean the React Native world has come to a halt. There’s been a lot of little announcements that give us a glimpse in the near future of React Native. The first release candidates for RN 0.74 were released. They contain a lot of improvements as well as some deprecations and breaking changes, but from the first glance nothing major that makes me worried about upgrading effort. Most notably, bridgeless mode becomes the new default with 0.74 (but only when New Arch is enabled). Bridgeless mode is the third pillar of the New Arch, after the already introduced TurboModules and new renderer (Fabric). Speaking of New Arch and defaults, a PR was merged that’ll make the New Arch the default beginning with RN 0.75 (it will still be possible to opt out though). Also, the RFC with the React Native Frameworks definition has been merged, laying out the responsibilities of RN vs frameworks on top of RN.
