I used a React hook for the first time today and wow, so much easier to manage state with
useState.I remember the first time I used react I felt about half done with the feature and was like, wait a minute everything just works! Where did the other half of the code go?
That's a great way to describe the feeling.
I'm sure I am overcoming some elements but geez it's fun and helpful once you get past the learning curve.
Learned how to use setState in React to change the look of a button onClick.
The killer feature of react
I learned the ins and outs of optimizing the build of a massive React / Emotion UI component library. Build time went from 45 minutes to 90 seconds and now every component is properly bundled for distribution. 🎊
Learned how to replicate basic functionality of ngFor / ng-repeat in Angular for Web Components in less than 200 lines of code.
That is a super impressive speed gain! Dare I say post worthy.
Following a twitter clone tutorial and building it alongside - learned about CSS variables.
