Data Dependencies Management in Redux Based Applications 2/2
The data dependencies management is an important topic for me. Over the years, while working with React, Redux and other libraries from this ecosystem, we developed a few solutions for this problem. Here is our story.
Cypress – Testing Web Applications with Ease

That is the reason I decided to try the testing tool Cypress which our colleague Lukáš heard about at the Reactive Meetup in Pardubice and I would like to share my experience in this article.
React Hooks – new stuff for cool kids
Have you noticed this huge buzz about React Hooks in last few days/weeks?
