Dev Summit ’24 Session: Redefining Reactivity with Signals
Redefining Reactivity with Signals
Aliaksei (Lex) Kuncevic, Founder Scale Tech
Signals, are reactive primitives for managing application state, increasingly found in programming languages and JavaScript frameworks.
In this session Lex Kuncevic covers their basic concepts and shows how they offer advantages over traditional state management and other reactive methods. We’ll see practical examples demonstrating how Signals can simplify your code, improve performance, and how platforms like YouTube are already leveraging their power at scale.
And we’ll explore TC39’s efforts to standardise these concepts in ECMAScript, aiming for a more consistent experience across different frameworks and discover how frameworks like Angular, Solid, and Svelte use Signals, and learn how to apply these tools in your own projects.
