useLayoutEffect is a bad place for deriving state

from Vladimir Klepov as a Coder [alt+shift+b] in programming

Today we'll talk about updating state inside useLayoutEffect in reaction to prop changes. Will it work? Is it safe? Are there better ways to implement such state changes? TLDR: it works, but leaves you with an extra DOM update that may break stuff. As we all know, useLayoutEffect...

How to replace useState with useRef and be a winner

React state is the bread and butter of a react app — it's what makes your app dynamic. React state lives in useState, useReducer or in this.state of a class component, and changing it updates your app. But then there's a vast ocean of state not managed by React. This includes...

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Love them or hate them, web components ("custom elements") are making a huge dent in the world of front-end development. As of today, close to 18% of page views in Chrome are registering web components. That's an insane amount of usage! The benefits of a framework-agnostic...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
