React Israel Meetup #11: Immutable Heroes, Client-Side GraphQL & Apollo Stack

Meetup No. 11! By now you probably love it so much that I don't even need to write sophisticated and funny intro text!

So let's look at what we have this time:

So you've read a Redux tutorial and started using it with Immutable.js and went like "WTF happened to my code?? Why so ugly?!". Ido Moshe, Senior Developer and Team Lead at Twiggle, fought this battle and won and he'll share with us a study case of managing a complex state using React, Redux, Reselect, middlewares, customized Immutable Records and ES6+.

GraphQL is so cool - let's use it also on the client side! Gal Schlezinger, Development Infrastructure Team Leader at MOD by day, Hipster developer by night, will talk about using GraphQL not only for database interactions, but for local storage with type safety (using indexeddb as offline storage) and leverage its strengths and overcome its weaknesses.

Apollo Stack, open source GraphQL stack for React,promises to be everything you need to start using GraphQL. David Yahalomi, Freelance, GraphQL enthusiast and contributor, will talk about using Apollo Stack with react / react-native.

Bonus: a short talk on bots! Mor Shemesh, OSS Wizard at Microsoft, will talk about managing bot dialogs with React.JS and alt
