Seems like a good opportunity to share a trick I used on the React Aria website to make headings scale to fit the viewport on mobile, even with SSR. I used fontkit, a library I wrote 10 years ago to parse fonts and layout glyphs, to measure the width of the heading at build time in the "em" unit. width = font.layout('DateRangePicker').advanceWidth / font.unitsPerEm This is a size independent measurement using the font's internal metrics. When multiplied by any font size, you get the pixel width of the text. To calculate the font size, set this as a CSS variable and divide the target width (100vw minus padding). Clamp to make sure it doesn't get too big or small. font-size: clamp(35px, (100vw - 32px) / var(--text-width), 55px) And tada! You have perfectly scaling text no matter the viewport size. 🎉

React Aria has built-in support for drag and drop. This kanban board is only ~100 lines, and even supports keyboard accessibility with no additional code needed! 🙂

Pretty amazing that we can now implement swipeable Tabs with native CSS. Updating the React Aria demo I made a few years ago to use native scroll snapping, scroll timeline, and anchor positioning instead of Framer Motion. Feels smooooooth! 🎉

Along with automatic skeletons, another thing I worked on recently was coordinated image loading. You can wrap any group of images with an <ImageCoordinator>, and all the images under it will fade in together rather than popcorning. Makes for a much more pleasant experience! 😀

I fixed the most upvoted React Aria issue of all time: in the next release, you can enter "invalid" dates like February 31st, and they'll be constrained on blur instead of as you type. This is helpful for transient states, e.g. editing the day before the month. It also enabled entering other temporary values like leading zeros. As you can see in the video, previously if the month was February you couldn't change the day to anything above 28. You'd first have to change the month and then go back to the day. Now the temporary invalid state is allowed. This might seem like such a simple issue, but it was actually pretty complicated to fix. It required entirely changing the way the state is stored. JS Date and Intl.DateTimeFormat cannot store or format dates that don't exist, so we had to reimplement it from scratch. Now we use Intl.DateTimeFormat to get the order of the fields for each locale, but format the value of each segment individually with Intl.NumberFormat. Lots of edge cases to handle as well, like daylight saving time, 12/24 hour time, different calendar and numbering systems, etc. Really glad to finally fix this one though!

Built a React Aria Calendar with swipe gestures to navigate between months! Uses CSS scroll snap for native 120fps animations, with a neat trick to enable infinite scrolling in both directions. 👇

A cool feature of the Disclosure component is that it uses the hidden=until-found attribute so you can still search the content while it is closed with ctrl+F (currently supported in Chrome). The disclosure will automatically open when content is found inside! 😲

I recently worked on a skeleton component that works with any layout automatically. You can render any real component with mock content, wrap it with a <Skeleton>, and any text, images, etc. get replaced with a shimmer effect. Waaaay easier than manually sizing rectangles. 😃

Probably old news now, but the CSS View Transition API is SUPER cool! Entry/exit layout animations like this used to be super complicated or require giant libraries. Now it's like 2 lines of JS, and a few lines of CSS if you want to customize the animation. Amazing! 🤯

Why does React Aria have its own Virtualizer? Why not use an existing library? Accessibility. If you combine a virtualizer with most component libraries, you might notice that keyboard navigation breaks. That's because scrolling the focused element out of view removes it from the DOM. Then when you press the arrow keys, nothing happens because the list has lost focus. React Aria's Virtualizer is deeply integrated with our components, so we can automatically persist the focused item in the DOM even when it scrolls out of view.
