History
The React.js Girls community was created in 2017 by YLD. The meetup’s focus is giving a platform to female engineers that want to learn from, and teach their experiences using React.js.

Workshops
React performance 101
By Typeform Team (Marta Bondyra)
At YLD, 124 Aldersgate St, EC1A 4JQ
2 MAY, 9AM
In this workshop we’ll dive into React’s own performance mechanisms and how they work. We’ll learn how to analyse your app’s performance and finally we’ll improve un-performant examples by applying best practices and observe the effect caused by these changes.
JavaScript intermediate level is recommended, however you're also welcome if you have beginner level, we'll help you out!
Bring your laptop! 👩💻
Ideally have the following software installed: ----> Git (https://git-scm.com/downloads) ----> NodeJS (https://nodejs.org/es/)
React Advanced
By Manjula Dube
At YLD, 124 Aldersgate St, EC1A 4JQ
2 MAY, 9AM
In this workshop We'll explore all the advanced techniques for making flexible and maintainable React components. We'll see how using popular patterns like Compound Components, Controlled Components, Render Props, Function As A Child etc. can help us in simplifying stuff, making our components more reusable. If time permits we will also cover React Hooks - hype driven development in the React Ecosystem.
GraphQL workshop
By Eve Porcello
At YLD, 124 Aldersgate St, EC1A 4JQ
2 MAY, 9AM
Learn to build fullstack applications in a day using GraphQL and Apollo in this practical, fast-paced course. Starting with the schema, students will create a GraphQL API using Apollo Server 2.0. Then we’ll use this data within a React user interface using Apollo Client and React Apollo. The course will feature a range of hands-on activities and labs to ensure that students can take these skills back to their own projects right away.
Topics will include:
- The GraphQL query language
- GraphQL schema design
- Designing an API with Apollo Server
- Connecting to a database
- Apollo Client
- React Apollo
You will need a laptop and a working knowledge of JavaScript and React to get the most out of the course, but the GraphQL concepts you’ll learn will apply to any environment.
(Profits from the workshop will be donated back to the community)
