DeveloperWeek New York 2019

This is perhaps the most exciting time to be a Javascript developer. New npm packages are being released almost everyday; likewise, new frameworks, libraries and websites are being launched to help developers plug into the ecosystem. 

In this osmosis of ideas, technologists and developers are building new open source projects and pushing the frontiers of Javascript. Indeed, this new climate offers unprecedented opportunities to grow and excel as a Javascript engineer. 

However, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and lost in this sea of information - developers may find it difficult to choose optimal libraries to build scalable systems that can offer the best possible user experience. 

Menelaos Kotsollaris is well aware of these challenges; as a software engineer at Trulioo, the world’s leading identity verification company, he authored EmbedID, an open source npm package, that enables organizations to verify the identity of individuals around the world, using only a snippet of code. 

This will be a live coding presentation with a Q&A at the end. It will cover:

- How to configure Webpack to extract custom packages that can be utilized by other developers using npm commands
- How to test these components
- How to separate UI from state using Redux-Thunk
- Showcase GraphQL integration with AWS
- Showcase Hashicorp vault for API Key storage
- How to utilize css-in-js technologies to apply styling into components
- How and when to re-factor codebase
