✨ Reflecting on a Past Article! ✨ A while back, I wrote about my experience with using `await setState` when I was a new React developer. I initially assumed setState was asynchronous, and while this approach worked in smaller projects, as the codebase grew, I realised it wasn’t aligned with React's batching and state update practices. As I work on improving how I explain concepts in my articles, I’d love your thoughts! Is this post helpful? Does it clarify things for those starting with React? I’m eager to get your feedback and continue improving my writing! 💬 👉 Check out the article on Medium https://lnkd.in/der8zNxp

From the minute I laid eyes on the "new hooks" approach, I've absolutely hated it. The hooks API is just 💩... I don't do much of front end work nowadays (focussed more on architecture, back end, micro services - that kinda stuff)... but when I do come across a React project, it is an EXTREMELY frustrating experience. While I can't get into it here, I've recently come across an excellent 3 part series that goes into very good detail. It even includes citations, videos and quotes from the community and the React team themselves (including Dan Abramov). It cites how they themselves have walked back on some of the things they've so bullishly evangelised about hooks and the "right" way to use them. I used to love React, I won't but for the sake of my life go back to using it. // end of rant Happy friday! https://lnkd.in/gQEJA6UB #react #frontend

Two pieces of early morning advice for frontend devs making API calls: 1. Always use a request timeout. Its healthy for both frontend experience and backend. Should be a common knowledge by now but I still come across webapps that spin indefinitely. 2. If you are using a frontend framework, try keeping your loading state in a higher level state or in the central state. Will make it way easier to manage inter-dependent components.
