Introduction to WebHack #25 x U-NEXT

Talk 1: Rethinking your data flow with GraphQL and Apollo

Description

Stop spending so much time fumbling over managing your client state and let Apollo and GraphQL handle it for you. This talk is a shallow dive into using Apollo and GraphQL in your frontend to make your data flow easier to reason about and get you back to doing the fun things on the frontend.

Speaker

Ryan Cohen is a Senior Engineer at U-NEXT. He is currently spearheading the shift to GraphQL within the company. He also is building the U-NEXT web frontend and helping improve internal developer workflows, manage DevOps, and more. Ryan also maintains several popular OSS projects, as well as a website that is visited by over 3 million unique visitors a month.

Talk 2: Discover UI bugs before QA with Visual Regression Tests

Description

In front end development teams, UI changes and bugs are often introduced late in the development flow. A bug found in staging takes a lot more effort to be traced and resolved than one found on a developer's laptop. This talk demonstrates a visual regression test that can be integrated into your daily development flow using Cypress.

Speaker

Yifan is a senior engineer in the U-NEXT frontend team, leading several frontend projects and continuously contributing to designing the infrastructure of the U-NEXT web front team. He is recently focusing on the Chromecast receiver app integration with Google Home and Nest Hub using TypeScript.
