React Native Nerds

This week, Jon ramps up his brewing plans with a logo contest, Spencer's girlfriend comes through and lands an XBox and hopefully is overcoming his motion sickness.In the React arena we discuss state management and if you've never used anything more than component state we got you covered.  You'll learn when to up your state game and possibly which type of state management solution will work for you and your app.If you've gotten into Redux or MobX, this is still interesting because we discuss the differences between multiple solutions and you may hear something that may make you switch!0:00 - Introduction0:05 - Jon's update / Brewery news8:13 - Spencer's update12:58 - State Management in 202114:08 - What is State20:32 - Context24:24 - Redux / Redux Toolkit33:23 - MobX / MobX State Tree40:23 - Recoil43:38 - Apollo45:14 - ReactQuery49:38 - Zustand54:10 - When to use 'em56:58 - Migrating from one to another58:31 - Wrap Up Links:Jon’s logo contest at LogoMyWayhttps://www.logomyway.com/28555/friends/5dc00bc4e5https://kentcdodds.com/blog/application-state-management-with-reactZustandhttps://github.com/pmndrs/zustandMobX vs Reduxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeRUT5H6XPII’m never using Recoil.jshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEYiYpASG2ASpencer's Shameless PlugsReact Native Fundamentals Workshophttps://youtu.be/rLmdmLhfwvQReact Native Schoolhttps://reactnativeschool.com Jon's Shameless PlugsFastLane Cheat Codes (Sign Up Now)https://fastlanecheatcodes.com

In this episode, Jon deal with rats and realizes he can do impressions.  Spencer gets motion sick over video games but still wants (yet can't find) an xBox.Our main topic this week covers how to be lazy when building mobile apps by carefully constructing reusable components saving you time and hopefully frustration.Building a mobile app can be challenging, but you can make it easier on yourself by using some tools and patterns to build reusable components.  meaning you can use the same component in multiple places throughout your app, and in other apps. 0:00 - Intro0:50 - RATS8:46 - XBox motion sickness10:44 - COVID comparisons11:47 - Mobile news - Calm15:38 - The key to sleep16:17 - Main Topic - Custom Components16:47 - Main Topic For Real This Time20:16 - Props all the way down25:52 - Core APIs26:32 - Storybook27:58 - Styled Components29:47 - Keep 'em light34:23 - Don't optimize before you need to35:25 - UI Frameworks can help37:27 - Felixbility39:15 - WrapUp LinksCalm valuationhttps://www.businessofapps.com/news/calm-raises-75-million-at-2-billion-evaluation/ Spencer's Shameless PlugsReact Native Fundamentals Workshophttps://youtu.be/rLmdmLhfwvQReact Native Schoolhttps://reactnativeschool.com Jon's Shameless PlugsFastLane Cheat Codes (Sign Up Now)https://fastlanecheatcodes.com39:15 - Wrap Up

This week Spencer really wants an XBox and keeps getting denied, if anyone has a hookup - let him know.  Jon gets sucked into the mechanical keyboard community.Then we focus in React Native and talk about how it all works with transpiling and polyfills,.

Whelp, if you record often enough, you'll have a disaster.  Unfortunately Jon's mic was all static and very noisy for the first part of the show, so this episode doesn't have our typical catchup and mobile news sections.
