Why doesn't React's setState function update the state immediately?

An explanation

#react #reactjs

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

Need to run commands consecutively in an npm script, regardless of failures?

Don't use semicolons. They'll work in Linux/MacOS but failon windows 😢��

Use boolean operators instead!

Example:
❌rm -rf build; npm run build
✅(rm -rf build || true) && npm run build

What it's like being a senior developer

[Cory House @housecor]

Just found a way to write React tests faster!

Instead of writing tests from scratch, I'm writing Jest tests against my Storybook stories via this "testing-react" project: https://t.co/uJusCCpGmr

This makes testing simpler:
1. Import the story.
2. Start asserting. No setup! 😍

Does anybody have a razor blade I can borrow to open this razor blade?

Ever since I became a freelance web developer, I've gotten constant emails from other freelance devs offering to build a website for me. What gives?

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

TIL that you can't await a promise in a default parameter and now I'm sad 😭��

[React @reactjs]

Thanks to the incredible efforts of the React 18 Working Group, we're upgrading the stability of the React 18 release from Alpha to Beta!

Here's what this means for you.

@housecor @TestingLib Same. I love how the type method fires a change event for each character instead of once for the whole string!

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

@housecor @TestingLib useByRole? someone's been writing too many react hooks 🤣👍

@shahulhmmd @marcba No, more like this:

Companies: We don't have 6 months to spend training a junior.

Also companies: Spends 6 months trying to hire a senior dev.

@mshilman @storybookjs @chromaui That looks great! Is there any plan to support image snapshots?

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

So... is storyshots basically dead since @storybookjs is focusing on @chromaui?

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

@marcba I would love to see perl's range operator in JavaScript

[Stephen Sorensen @shuoink]

@shahulhmmd @marcba A "list comprehension" is shorthand syntax for generating an array. You can use it to replace certain Array functions, like map or filter.

Today I fixed 2 bugs that have been roaming wild in production and nobody has reported them until today. One was 2 yrs old. The other was 6.5 years old.

I'm still recovering from the shock.

swc ( https://t.co/KCPltsbjcC ), which stands for speedy web compiler, reached 17000 stars. Thanks!

[Efosa S. Omorogbe @EfosaSO]

@shuoink @TestingLib @reactjs @kentcdodds You could also use the findBy method, just have to await the result in the assertion.
