Conference Events

ReactEurope is historically the place where many new industry standards in the React community are revealed to the world such as the first public demo of redux and time travel, the release of GraphQL, react native reanimated, mobx-state-tree and more.

ReactEurope is the original European Conference since 2015 (second only to facebook's react conf worldwide) and we are excited to be back in May 2020 for our 6th edition with a new venue making it the biggest conference with up to 1500 attendees. This new venue will provide more comfort and a whole new experience. We've grown a lot these past 5 years along with the React community and our new venue will be more spacious and give people more room to socialize, learn, relax and have fun. We will bring you the best and most passionate people from the very core teams to the coolest people from the community we love.

After changing the way we think about state management in JavaScript applications, the way we write native mobile apps with React Native, how we interact with remote data with GraphQL or even how we manage CSS, the React community keeps innovating and its ecosystem growing.

At this conference, you will learn how new projects such as ReasonML will bring web and mobile React Native apps to the next level and how projects such as React Native Web, React Primitive and Expo make it easy to write, deploy and share code on all platforms quickly. The conference aims to give talks that inspire and explore new futuristic ideas dealing with all the techs we enjoy from the React ecosystem such as React.js, React Native, GraphQL, Relay, Universal apps, ReasonML, Webpack, inline CSS and more.

ReactEurope is also a great occasion to socialize, meet new people and old friends, hack together, taste delicious food and have fun in the beautiful city of Paris.

Join us at ReactEurope Conf to shape the future of client-side, mobile and universal applications!

Modern Forms in React

This workshop will take the students from building a two-field form using just useState() hooks through to using a form library to manage complex form data such as field arrays, with support for field-level and record-level client-side validation as well as submit validation, third party input components and more. It will also touch on more complex concepts like minimizing field re-renders with a useField() hook, as well as subscribing to certain parts of form state with a useFormState() hook.

Beyond only forms, the app we build will talk to a GraphQL backend to load data into the form and mutate it upon form submission using Apollo Client, using hooks, of course!

Students will walk away confident in their knowledge of how to build forms of any complexity with great UX.
