WP Interactivity API for real life
We'll take a deep dive into 2-3 specific real life case studies of using the WP Interactivity API in an enterprise WordPress setting, discussing the challenges we faced and how we overcame the learning curve and replaced more traditional React components with the Interactivity API. It won't be an exhaustive look at all that the Interactivity API can do, but more of a focus on some of the use cases we found for it, that are perhaps a bit different to the examples you can currently find for it.
Each case study will be presented from both a strategic perspective, how we planned it out, and then from a practical perspective, engaging with real code examples. There will be both conceptual and practical examples and I'll break down some of the common misconceptions or misunderstandings of how to use the Interactivity API, when to use it, and when not to.
Some example topics we'll cover: how do you actually use the Interactivity API in classic or hybrid themes, why would you want to use it, performance considerations, server-side state, integrating analytics/tracking, and more.
