Best practices for building a large scale react application

While making a Single Page App with React, it is very easy for your code-base to become unorganized. There are many good libraries in the React ecosystem that can be used to manage certain aspects of the app, this article covers some of them in depth. Other than that, it lists some good practices to follow from the beginning of the project if you have scalability in mind

Urql, Grown Up

Early 2018 the Formidable team released the first version of their minimalist GraphQL client urql. For the last year, they’ve been rethinking, rearchitecting, and rebuilding the core of the library, and a few months ago they silently launched urql v1.0. Today, with the release of the new documentation site, they’re happy to call urql a stable, production-ready GraphQL client library for both small and large React applications.
