How React Reconciliation Works
17.5.2018
React is fast! Some of that speed comes from updating only the parts of the DOM that need it. Less for you to worry about and a speed gain to boot. As long as you understand the workings of setState(), you should be good to go. However, it’s also important to familiarize yourself with how this...
Get a React Component by DOM Node
15.5.2018
Retrieving a React component’s DOM node is fairly simple from within the component itself, but what if you want to work backward: retrieve a component’s instance by DOM node? This is a task that the old Dojo Toolkit’s Dijit framework allowed with the dojo.byId method, so it made...
How to Get a React Component’s Element
14.5.2018
JSX is an amazing pseudo-language for React, and if I’m honest, it’s what brought me to love React so much. Using React without JSX is cumbersome and frustrating, while using JSX is such an easier way to express your code. One drawback of JSX, however, is that it makes accessing...

React and autofocus
7.5.2018
While I love ReactJS, I can say that I sometimes find interactions that were easy during the pre-ReactJS are annoyingly difficult or at least “indirect”. One example is properly ensuring that a given <input> element gets focused when a button in a different component...
Managing Heading Levels In Design Systems
3.5.2018
Heydon Pickering looks into how to give a React component a certain heading (like <h1>, <h2>, etc.) depending on its context and thereby ensure that the DOM is still perfectly accessible for screen readers. Why is using the right heading important though? Heydon writes in...

Understanding React `setState`
25.4.2018
React components can, and often do, have state. State can be anything, but think of things like whether a user is logged in or not and displaying the correct username based on which account is active. Or an array of blog posts. Or if a modal is open or not and which tab within it is active.

Force a React Component to Re-Render
7.3.2018
The beauty of React components is that they automagically render and update based on a change in state or props; simply update the state from any place and suddenly your UI element updates — awesome! There may be a case, however, where you simply want to brute force a fresh render of a React...
