Four Things I Learned About GraphQL From Eve Porcello

Eve Porcello had a great conversation with the hosts of React Wednesdays, giving us all an awesome introduction to GraphQL. Check out host TJ VanToll’s key takeaways from the conversation.

React-Table is an awesome library for creating tables with multiple headers, sorting, filtering, pagination etc. But it is complex to learn. Sometimes our use case is simple and we do not want to spend time in learning from scratch. To solve this issue, we are providing a GUI utility which can generate the table code for you including sorting capability, filtering and pagination. You may directly use the generated code into your projects.
