This Month in Solid #5: Data APIs RFC 😎

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Daniel Afonso

Hello friends 👋
July has arrived! This means it is time for the fifth issue of This Month in Solid.
June was a crazy month from a traveling perspective. A lot of conferences happened, and it was very tiring. Despite that, it was amazing as I got to hang out with many friends, especially these ones:

A lot of cool stuff was discussed that week, including the RFC mentioned in Solid updates.
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Inspired by Ryan Carniato This Week in JavaScript and Sébastien Lorber This Week In React, I plan to publish a compilation of updates, posts, and videos about the Solid world at the end of every month.

Each post will be split in the following way:

• Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
• Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
• Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
• Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, without further ado, let's dive into our fifth This Month in Solid.

Solid Updates

Router Data APIs RFC

As the adoption of Solid Router grows, it is time to listen to people's feedback and understand how we can improve the APIs. Because of that Ryan released an RFC that touches on the following points:

1. Rename load function to preload
2. Rename cache function
3. Have Response Helper's return Response Types

You can read more about it and leave your thoughts here: github.com/solidjs/solid-router/discussions/455

Vinxi improvements

We want the experience of using SolidStart to be the best one possible. With that in mind, we are aware that Vinxi has some issues. Rest assured, there is work being done to tackle some of the issues with it.
