راقب اتجاهات التقنية العالمية، وجمع موارد المطورين

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

Calm week on the React side, but we found a few interesting Next.js PRs to look at and a few Async React blog posts.

On mobile, the first React Native 0.89 RC is here, with lots of performance work. Amazon Vega OS 2.0 brings RN 0.83 to every Vega-powered Fire TV. Hermes gets a full Intl implementation, still in preview. Screens v5 is coming.

Elsewhere, GitHub Actions will block pull_request_target by default. Node.js 27 is the first alpha of the new release model. Parcel 3 is a much faster Rust rewrite.

Let's dive in!

SurveyJS: UI Form Builder for React

Need complex forms in your React app? Building a custom form builder from scratch means handling drag-and-drop, logic, validation, and a UI for every setting. Then maintaining it all.

SurveyJS gives you an embeddable React form builder you can integrate into your app, including SaaS products. Let users create and update forms visually, without changing application code or redeploying.

Forms are stored as JSON, so you can version, update, and save them in your database. Extend the builder with custom inputs, validation rules, and property editors. Choose from built-in themes, create your own styles, or use theme adapters for MUI, Bootstrap, and shadcn/ui to match your app's look and feel.

Self-hosted, with full control over your data and no per-end-user fees.

👀 React Concurrent Store PR - Ricky Hanlon runs React's own state tests against the unofficial ponyfill
👀 Next.js PR - router.experimental_prepare() to start a navigation on pointerdown and commit it on click - This is quite an exciting feature I’ve been wanting for years. There’s a delay between pointerdown and click events. Now you can “prepare” a navigation ahead of time, even if the user hasn’t really clicked your link yet. Once the click is confirmed, you commit the pre-warmed navigation that should feel faster. This may be integrated into the <Link> component eventually.
👀 Next.js PR - create-next-app always uses the App Router, no router choice prompt
👀 Next.js PR - Experimental Go Route Handlers with route.go files - The Next.js team is prototyping native language support for CPU-intensive server work next to your React app, starting with Route Handlers and Proxy in Go.
📜 React.lazy, Suspense and the Hidden 300 ms Delay - A React.lazy component always suspends on its first render, and React throttles Suspense reveals to 300ms to avoid flicker, which can be a problem in some cases.
📜 Async React & Progressive Server Actions - When using Server Actions with client-side optimistic UI, it’s easy to break your form progressive enhancement behavior. Thankfully, you can restore it with a simple trick: only wire the optimistic action after hydration.
📜 Understanding React internals - A 6-chapter tour, from Fizz and Flight on the server to hydration, lanes and the commit phase, with code taken from React's source.
📜 Writable Derived State: Stop Synchronizing State - Instead of syncing server data into local client data with useEffect, you could simply use clientData ?? serverData. The client data can be null after a server refresh.

Vega OS 2.0

Vega OS 2.0 is out now on every Vega-powered Fire TV, bringing RN 0.83: React 19, the compiler, Hermes v1, and real DevTools.

It also brings native APIs, agent-assisted migrations, and stable minors with one major a year.

TV focus states - new boxShadow and outline props, plus compat updates for Navigation, Reanimated, and Lottie.
Beyond RN - native APIs for task scheduling and custom UI, with hybrid-UI and periodic-task sample apps.
DevAssistant - docs AI with a Vega domain selector and page-level context, so less doc-hunting.
