Taming Complex Webapps with Scala and React

In this talk, we will examine how we used Scala.js with React including custom hooks to maximize code reuse, isomorphic implementation of algorithms to run the same code on servers and clients, and use of memoization to ensure a responsive UI.

About This Session

Sufficiently complex requirements require sufficiently sophisticated patterns and practices to tame the overall complexity! Only then do we have any hope of delivering a useful and high-quality product that meets those requirements.

Scala.js combined with React present a coherent combination with emphasizing both functional programming and immutability. In this talk, we will examine how we used this combination to deliver a complex set of requirements in a user-friendly application. We will explore several patterns we utilized: custom hooks to ensure reusable code and consistent user-experience, isomorphic implementation of algorithms to run the same code on servers and clients, and use of memoization to ensure a responsive UI.
