Giorgio Boa - Improve your React hydration with Qwik - React Live 2023

Improve your React hydration with Giorgio Boa's talk on Qwik, a JavaScript framework that enables faster rendering, lazy hydration, and better performance.

Key takeaways
  • Resumability is a concept introduced by Qwik, improving React hydration.
  • The JavaScript snippet is much smaller for Qwik applications compared to traditional React applications.
  • Lazy hydration allows for faster rendering, as only necessary code is executed.
  • Qwik applications can be statically generated, making page load faster.
  • Resumability allows for better performance, especially with larger applications.
  • Qwik and React can work together, enabling the creation of performant applications.
  • The key to a Qwik application is the use of the $ special marker in the code.
  • Partial iteration is a solution to solve the problem of dehydration.
  • Qwik can be used to create a better user experience, as it allows for faster rendering.
  • The framework under the hood of Qwik is going to recreate the state for us to attach the listener.
  • With service worker, pre-caching can be used to improve performance.
  • The resumability feature helps in solving the problem of dehydration.
  • Qwik can be used to create a real application, similar to a complex e-commerce website.
  • Qwik’s build process is capable of producing HTML and shipping static code.
  • The CLI of Qwik creates a starter for us, enabling easy integration with React.
  • Qwik can be used in combination with other frameworks, such as Material UI and motion styles.
  • Marco, a framework used by eBay, also uses resumability.
  • Qwik and React can be used to create real applications with great performance.
  • The browser is overwhelmed when trying to render too much JavaScript.
  • Qwik is able to solve this problem by rendering only what is necessary.
  • The resumability feature is important for solving this problem.
  • Qwik can be used to create a snapshot of the application, making it possible to render the application without executing all the JavaScript.
  • Qwik’s build process is capable of producing the snapshot and shipping static code.
