Advanced Remix

Course Description
Remix is a terrific tool for building simple websites and even better for building complex web applications. Remix solves many problems in modern web development. You don’t even think about server cache management or global CSS namespace clashes. It’s not that Remix has APIs to avoid these problems; they simply don’t exist when you’re using Remix!
This course and others like it are available as part of our Frontend Masters video subscription.

Kent C. Dodds introduces the course and discusses the benefits of the advanced Remix topics. This course builds on the concepts learned in the Remix Fundamentals course.
Kent walks through the course repository and explains how to run the different applications. A README file with instructions and places for note-taking accompanies each exercise. A question about testing is also addressed in this segment.
UI Functionality
Section Duration: 1 hour, 41 minutes

Students are instructed to apply Optimistic UI techniques to the application by listing new deposits immediately after the user submits them.
Kent demonstrates the solution to the Optimistic UI exercise.
Kent uses a TodoMVC application to answer questions about handling multiple UI updates to the same component. Questions about managing fetchers are also answered in this segment.
Students are instructed to add logic to focus the element with a validation error. If there are no errors, the first input element should be focused.
Kent codes the solution to the Focus Management exercise.
Students are instructed to use the unstable_shouldReload API to indicate which routes should be reloaded when a specific mutation or client-side transition occurs.

Kent demonstrates the solution to the Imperative Mutations exercise.
Improving Loading UX
Section Duration: 1 hour, 4 minutes

Students are instructed to show a skeleton UI to improve the user experience while the content is loading. The useTransition().location.state object can help determine which customer record is being transitioned.
Kent codes the solution to the Skeletons exercise.
Students are instructed to implement the defer, Suspense, and Await APIs on the $customerId route to create the best loading experience.
Kent walks through the solution to the Defer exercise.
Kent uses the network profiler in the browser developer tools to explain how the Remix Defer component works in tandem with React Streaming. A question about nesting suspense objects is also discussed in this segment.
Kent briefly debugs a boundary error thrown by the Suspense component.
