Test your frontends the bulletproof way

Łukasz Nowak

Have you ever found your automatic tests being difficult to understand or the entire suite being flaky? Silly question, sure you have, like all of us. This situation usually happens when we misuse tools or testing approaches. It looks like writing them is not as simple as it initially looked.
This workshop is dedicated for solid mid-level developers, aspiring to create valuable, extremely high quality test suites of their frontend apps in Vite/Jest and Playwright. We’ll run through most common misconceptions becoming a source of invaluable scenarios and understand factors making them bullet proof. The workshop not only will cover the most popular integration type of tests, but also give you an example of exotic ones, like accessibility or visual regression.
Please note: This is a proposition for the same workshop I’ve performed during last year’s edition of React Alicante. It’s been successful through several other initiatives and receiving positive opinions. This made me think it might be an interesting proposition for another group of developers attending this year. Obviously, the talk is going to be supported by a dedicated repo with example application and examples of enterprise class testing suites. It’s already available under https://github.com/LukaszNowakPL/bulletproof-frontend-testing

Building Generative UI with MCP in React

Glenn Reyes

Chat interfaces are everywhere, but most of them are still limited to text.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to build interactive React components that live inside conversational interfaces. Instead of returning static responses, your apps will generate UI based on user intent.

We will explore Generative UI and how MCP enables it. You will see how the same prompt can produce different interfaces depending on context, and how this leads to more personal and adaptive user experiences.

This workshop follows a collaborative, mob-style format. We will build together using AI coding agents, focusing on understanding patterns and decisions rather than writing everything from scratch.

Design System Test Kitchen! Recipes for AI-Ready Components

Kathleen McMahon

Design systems are like a well-stocked test kitchen: developers are the head chefs and AI tools are the line cooks. With the right ingredients, recipes, and kitchen rules, teams can rapidly turn ideas into UI. But without machine-readable recipe cards and kitchen rules, AI has to guess, and developers end up with something nobody ordered. This workshop shows how to make your design system AI-ready: component metadata, usage guidance, accessibility expectations, and validation. Walk away knowing exactly what to fix and how to fix it.

Thursday 14:15 - 18:15 ROOM 2.8

Compilers & Static Analysis for JavaScript Developers

Matheus Albuquerque

Everything you need to implement full-featured, static-analysis-enabled workflows for modern JS apps—packed into a hands-on experience. You’ll learn both high-level concepts around static analysis and compiler design, and gritty details like AST transformations and codemod pipelines.

In this workshop, we'll be building multiple tools/workflows with technologies such as Babel, cheerio, jscodeshift, ast-grep, ts-morph, AST explorer, and more.

We’ll talk about languages that compile to JavaScript and explore how static analysis powers linters, formatters, bundlers, front-end frameworks, and even our browsers.

From there, we dive into real-world case studies to explore the usage of AST tools to modernize, generate, and even interpret millions of LOC across different codebases.

We'll cover universal compiler topics, such as control flow and data flow analysis, classic optimizations such as inlining and dead-code elimination, as well as more research-oriented topics.

The work here consists mostly of reading papers, exploring open-source compilers, and completing open-source hacking tasks, so be prepared to work on code reviews that'll leave you with a toolkit and mindset that may transform how you build front-end/JavaScript apps.

Building AI-Powered React Apps with TanStack AI

Shivay Lamba

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to integrate AI directly into your React apps using the newly launched TanStack AI. The workshop will show you how you can leverage the Tanstack to build a fully agentic app end-to-end, starting from server setup and finishing with a streaming client, tool calling, human-in-the-loop workflows, and real debugging using TanStack DevTools.

Through guided exercises, you’ll learn how to set up TanStack AI on the server, connect a client application to a streaming AI backend, build a functional chat interface, create your first AI tools, and implement approval flows so humans can stay in control when tools are invoked.

By the end of the session, you’ll understand the core building blocks of AI-powered applications powered by TanStack and also learn important AI concepts which are becoming extremely important these days.
