Replies for: In the example below, just think of useContext as regular javascript function that returns an object, which you are then destructing to get values ...

Thanks for detailed answers! You're awesome, mate ✨

Yep, we can use useContext and it will work as expected, in @reactend/express you can import ReqResContext and pass into useContext to have access req, res

It's also possible to replace appHOC/appWrapper of pages and replace html template.
You can do like this (Sorry for bad naming, I'll change them later to better ones)

registerApp(ExpressApp, {
  appHOC: (Component) => (
    <ReduxProvider store={store}>
      <Component />
    </ReduxProvider>
  ),
  renderHTML: ({ head, styles, root }) => `
    <html>
      <head>
        ${head}
        ${styles}
      </head>
      <body>${root}</body>
    </html>
  `,
});

I like these articles:

These Github users below write lots of cool micro libraries for learning purposes, here are tiny react clone in modern JS

A general resource I like to often refer to is this one, when I'm curious about a technology & how it works under the hood

Paid resource

  • KentC Dodds has a react course (epicreact.dev/) covering nearly everything you would need. It's fairly expensive depending on how you view the investment. 5 months ago, I joined a company that uses React. I had production experience with Angular/Vue, vanillaJS and only dabbling with React. I wanted a resource that was cohesive and didn't want to spend time hunting and pieces resources together and building a fragmented view of the react ecosystem so I bought his course. I thought about it like this: Companies pay thousands of dollars for the expertise of someone like Kent C Dodd (author of several top GitHub libraries) and he's offering a course for a few hundred bucks that's replayable and in video with awesome examples..., if I can learn from one of the best that sounds amazing to me
