Prevent revalidation of remix loaders after mutation Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

Hello Kent, here is a transcription of my message, if you did not catch something. Thanks! I have a component that im importing in a dashboard folder in an index.js file. I'm using fetcher.form to submit a form with the Post method. the request is succesful, but when I click on sumbit, this reloads all of the requests of my loaders from different components that are being rendered in the dashboard folder. how can I avoid the reload of unrelated loaders in the same folder (dashboard)?

Progress bar for mutations in Remix Feb 09, 2024

Show notes

Hi Kent!

How do you create a progress bar for actions in Remix?

Like if a request takes maybe 10 or 20 seconds to finish and you want to give your users some feedback that things are progressing?

Best regards, Jan

Mocking in the full stack metaframework Era Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

When we were building client side application mocking during e2e tests was a bit easier because you could just monkey patch fetch and call it a day. Today we also control the server so the line has a bit shifted. There are solutions, like MSW, to mock on the server side too but what if instead of an API call you query a db?

How do you create advanced content for developers Jan 29, 2024

The content for new developers is everywhere, but finding quality insight that helps you level to senior and above is hard to come by. This is in part because such content is difficult and time consuming to make. What goes into making such content and is there a lack of it in our industry?

A Button Per form or One Form with Multiple Buttons Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

Hi Kent,

It's Jan 👋

When creating a dropdown menu (e.g. to pick a role in an organization), would you wrap the whole menu in a form tag and then render multiple buttons within that form (one for each role)? Or would you render multiple forms (one for each role) with each having their own submit button?

Thanks a ton if you answer!

Best regards, Jan

Toasts in Remix Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

Hi Kent,

It's Jan.

I'm currently working on implementing toasts in a Remix app. I was using the Epic Stack as a reference.

BTW, thank you for creating it, it's so nice to take some features and functionalities from it when you need them!

Anyways, it looks like the implementation of the toast in the Epic Stack does NOT work with JavaScript disabled. But theoretically, you could make toasts in Remix progressively enhanced by giving the close button a form and prevent default when JavaScript is enabled.

It looks like the library you're using in the Epic Stack - Sonner - does NOT expose the close button, so you can't progressively enhance it.

Was it a conscious decision to make the toast JavaScript only? Or let me ask the decision more openly, what are your thoughts on this?

As always, thanks a ton!

Unpaid internships and indentured servitude Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

So, recently I started looking for my first software job. The first offer I received was from a company looking for an intern. The internship had the following conditions: 1) the first 3 months of it are unpaid 2) you have to sign a contract after the 1st month of it that obligates you to stay at the company 2 years after the internship is ended. I rejected it because I felt like you never know what that company may turn out to be. For example, it may try to exploit you and pay you the bare minimum for the job you're doing preventing your career growth and your only option may be to wait for that contract to expire and then start looking for a higher position at another company. I'd like to ask your opinion about:

unpaid internships
internships that obligate you to stay at the company for 1 or 2 years once the internship is ended
companies that follow both of these practices

It's fine to re-render Jan 12, 2024

My question is around the optimization techniques that a lot of people apply to React apps. I see very often how devs focus on executing their components only once or twice. What I think matters at the end is if there any changes in the actual DOM tree. If not they in theory should be ok to see your functional components fired many times.
