On this episode of React Round Up we chatted with Miroslav Nikolov, a UI developer at one.com, about his approach to unit testing React components. Miroslav discussed writing components in a human-friendly way, using the library UnexpectedJS. We also talked about Miroslav’s blog, including how he got started with it, and some of the tools he used, like Gatsby and Mailchimp. This is a great episode if you’re looking to learn more about how to approach unit testing in React.SponsorsChuck's Resume TemplateRaygun - Application Monitoring For Web & Mobile AppsBecome a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs MembershipLinkswebup.org/blog | Miroslav NikolovUnexpectedJSReact Component Tests for Humans | CSS-TricksmailchimpSubstackPicksMiroslav- erikras.comMiroslav- Application State Management with ReactPaige- Tom Clancy's | Jack RyanTJ- DREAM SPORT Bike Computer Bicycle Speedometer and Odometer 16-Function Wired Bike Computer WaterproofAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/react-round-up--6102072/support.

Returning guest Mark Erikson joins the React Round Up team to discuss how he found himself in the position of being an open source maintainer for Redux, how he's helped shepherd/author future versions of Redux (and the complete overhauls that happened when React Hooks were introcuded), and the new examples he's written for Redux Toolkit to make Redux easier for devs to get started with. Mark also addresses some commons misconceptions around React and Redux, such as: is React Context a perfect substitute for Redux (spoiler: it's not), and is Redux still relevant today (it is). Take a listen to hear about getting into open source, where Redux is headed and Mark's broader thoughts on helping the React community document and standardize all the options out there so developers have an easier time choosing the tools needed to solve their particular problems.SponsorsChuck's Resume TemplateRaygun - Application Monitoring For Web & Mobile AppsBecome a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs MembershipLinksCheng Lou - On the Spectrum of Abstraction at react-europe 2016Blogged Answers: Why React Context is Not a "State Management" Tool (and Why It Doesn't Replace Redux)Coding Career AdviceGitHub | markerikson/react-community-tools-practices-cheatsheetGitHub | markerikson/react-community-tools-practices-cheatsheet - Initial RFC: Scope and Goals #1Comparison with Other FrameworksRedux Style Guide#Redux Essentials, Part 1: Redux Overview and Concepts#Redux Fundamentals, Part 1: Redux Overview#Redux ToolkitRTK QueryJavaScript for Java-ish DevelopersMark's Dev BlogTwitter: Mark Erikson ( @acemarke )GitHub | Mark EriksonPicksCarl- Writing for Software Developers by Philip Kiely Mark- Josh ComeauPaige- Open source password manager - BitwardenTJ- Bowflex SelectTech DumbbellsZain- GitHub | zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extensionAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/react-round-up--6102072/support.

Today the panel is discussing how to introduce new tech at work. They agree that it’s important to get input from all teams on the decision, although it will primarily affect the development team. One should also consider the different ways people make decisions, such as through discussion or quiet thinking, and give everyone time to come to a decision. The panel talks about positive and negative examples of how to introduce new tech at work. Thomas believes that it is important to acknowledge your own biases in decision making and to try to avoid them. The React experts discuss the significance of the team dynamic and the necessity of different roles in decision making or if it is better to have an organic discovery phase. This relates to Thomas’ point about personal biases, and he believes that it is important to put people in roles that are opposite of their personality. When making decisions about new technology, it is also important to note that not all decisions require the same amount of input, and they discuss how to measure how much input is required for a decision.SponsorsChuck's Resume TemplateRaygun - Application Monitoring For Web & Mobile AppsBecome a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs MembershipLinksVue12 React Best Practices You Need to Follow in 2019SaulTest && commit || revertVS Code ESLintPicksThomas - Teachable MachineCharles - White ChristmasCharles - Holiday InnChris - Practical React HooksAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/react-round-up--6102072/support.

Zain Sajjad is a frontend developer at his company Peekaboo Guru, an app built in React. The show begins with Zain explaining why he chose to build Peekaboo Guru in React. Ultimately, he chose React for its composability and reusability. He talks about how much data is shared between his React and React Native applications.Zain explains what he means by a container since he is not talking about Docker, and how he has the app organized. He talks about the differences between routing and navigation between React and React Native. When approaching these differences, he breaks things down into components, containers, and platform, paying careful attention to how they work together. This differentiation can actually help a lot with testing as well. SponsorsChuck's Resume Template Raygun - Application Monitoring For Web & Mobile AppsBecome a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs MembershipLinksPeekaboo GuruReactReact NativeReact Native NavigationReact NavigationSQLTensorFlowFun Fun FunctionImmer.jsPicksLucas - Ember.jsLucas - 3Blue1BrownThomas - Rite in the Rain notepadAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/react-round-up--6102072/support.
