DrupalCon Nashville 2018: Introduction to React Design Patterns

This talk explores the complexities of ReactJS, focusing on the balance between its un-opinionated nature and the need for structured design. The speaker addresses fundamental questions about separating display logic from business logic, effectively connecting components to external APIs, and the appropriate methods for managing state. Attendees learn how to use design patterns to enhance separation of concerns and discover techniques such as presentational/container components, render props, and the Flux pattern for state management. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical knowledge for building scalable React applications.
