State bloating vs api call (again and again)

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2022/06/24

When a user enters the tab (btw it's a SPA) I call the api in useEffect and saving the response in redux store. May I know is it better approach to call the api again and again when the user leaves and enters the page? (In this case I see a flicker of loading every time) or storing the response in redux store (UX for this screen is good but is it harming the performance overall?) or storing the response in component state? (Is there any difference b/w this and above approach performance

Using GraphQL queries in Remix loader functions

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2022/05/17

Hey Kent! We've been using Hasura to generate CRUD APIs for our small team. Our existing web applications are all using Next.js, and consume the GraphQL API via Apollo Client and TypeScript hooks generated from the remote schema using graphql-code-generator. This workflow has saved us a lot of time, particularly in API development, and I love the generated type-safe hooks. After watching your new Remix content, we're very excited to try Remix as an alternative to Next, mostly to leverage

2022/05/17

I am trying to figure out my stack on the backend side of things for Remix, more specifically services that will allow my server side code to run at the edge be it the server itself or the database or both so that everyone everywhere can use my app at super fast speeds. There are not a lot of resources out there about the best services out there that do this and I am wondering if you have any suggestions where I can begin to look for such services

How can I incentivize users to not share accounts?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2022/05/17

I would really prefer to use magic links for authentication rather than username/password. However, I'm running into an issue where several of our clients share a single account login which means many people logging in don't have access to the email inbox. We already don't charge per user, but have you come across this situation before? Any tips on how we can incentivize users to use individual accounts?

Could the useState be used without the setter?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2021/12/13

I have a question... could the useState be used without using the setter? because a teammate use it in that way to get an item from sessionStorageconst [initialScrollPosition] = useState(() => Number.parseFloat(sessionStorage.getItem('offset') || 0)); and argues that this is so that the component is not unnecessarily rerendered and to read the sessionStorage only once! 🤔 but I think we can use useMemo for those cases but the useState is still used in this form in several

Versioning and dependency management for libraries

How did you approach versioning and dependency management when you were building this reusable component library at PayPal? I would like to know 1.

What’s bad about having different teams using different versions of the same library?

Full stack framework vs front-end with saas

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2021/11/13

I have a question with regards to building out a minimum viable product. I am comparing using a full stack framework like django, that includes authentication and arm’s and routing and all the batteries builtin, versus creating a react app with all the backend farmed out to saas offering like auth0 for auth and the millions of sql/nosql/graphql. With django approach, you have simple dynamic pages with server side generation and when you’re ready you can separate out the frontend to

Hello Kent, I learnt software development in a self-taught path and I really didn't do a good job (Now I know) because when I hear words like Serverless and others, I don't have the first clue what they are talking about. In summary, I'm clueless about a lot of things and I need help.
