114: Sebastian De Deyne - React for Vue Developers
In this episode, Adam talks to Sebastian De Deyne about learning React from the perspective of a Vue developer, and how to translate all of the Vue features you're already comfortable with to React code.
Topics include:
- How Vue focuses on making things easy at the cost of a more complex API, while React focuses on keeping things simple at the cost of a steeper learning curve
- How to translate Vue's computed properties to React using the useMemo hook
- How to translate Vue's watchers to React using the useEffect hook
- How to translate Vue's v-model to React using value props and event listeners
- How to translate Vue's events to React using callback props
- How to translate Vue's slots to React by passing JSX as a normal prop
- How to handle transitions in React with libraries like Pose
