In React we typically manage component behavior using props and state. But what if we need to expose controlled access to a component’s internal logic? This is where useImperativeHandle comes in, probably one of React’s most underrated yet powerful hooks.
In this talk, we’ll take a culinary and technical journey to understand how to turn our components inside-out, just like Japanese chefs.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why useImperativeHandle exists and how it changes the way we design component APIs
- Best practices and common pitfalls to avoid
- Advanced use cases: building smart modals, working with third-party libraries, and more
Join me to learn how to roll your React components just like a perfect Inside-Out Sushi - elegantly, efficiently, and with a well-balanced API.
