Type-Safe API Clients with Zod and TypeScript
TypeScriptBuild end-to-end type safety from your OpenAPI spec to your React components using Zod schema inference.
IntersectionObserver-triggered pagination with <Async> streaming boundary, mapArray append, per-item like/save actions, and effect cleanup on unmount. Tests the IRAsync + mapArray compiler path, reactive list growth, and error/empty-state branches.

Move data fetching to the server without sacrificing interactivity. How RSC changes the mental model for building apps.
INP replaced FID. Interaction to Next Paint measures responsiveness more accurately. Here is how to optimize for it.
Snapshot testing is dead. Here is how to write IR-level component tests that run in milliseconds with zero flakiness.
Container queries let components adapt to their own size, not the viewport. The end of media query hacks.
Ship to production continuously without breaking users. A pragmatic guide to trunk-based development.
XSS, CSRF, and clickjacking are still rampant. Concrete mitigations every frontend engineer should know.
Three years running a micro-frontend architecture at scale. What worked, what did not, and what we would do differently.

In SSR the compiler emits a <Suspense> node (IRAsync → Hono adapter) containing the items().map() loop. This exercises the IRAsync + IRMap compiler path that was previously untested by any block demo.
onMount registers an IntersectionObserver on the sentinel div at the bottom of the list. onCleanup(() => observer.disconnect()) ensures the observer is torn down if the component unmounts mid-fetch, preventing stale callbacks and memory leaks.
Each page load calls setItems(prev => [...prev, ...newItems]), appending to the existing signal array. BarefootJS's client-side mapArray reconciles the new items by keyed diffing — only the new DOM nodes are created; existing article cards are not re-rendered.
A createSignal<FetchStatus> drives three conditional branches: loading (spinner), error (retry button), and end (end-of-list message). The 12% simulated error rate makes the retry branch reachable during testing.
Each article card has like and save toggles that call setItems(prev => prev.map(a => a.id === id ? ...)), an immutable update inside a reactive loop. createMemo chains derive aggregate counts (liked, saved) from the items signal, updating the stats bar reactively.
