When to Use solidjs advanced
Decision matrix per scegliere la tecnologia giusta
IDEAL USE CASES
Building framework extensions, custom plugins, or DSLs on top of SolidJS where compiler understanding enables custom optimizations - deep knowledge prevents common pitfalls
Architecting ultra-large-scale applications (100k+ components) requiring custom reactivity systems, advanced store patterns, and compiler-aware code generation - framework internals knowledge prevents performance cliffs
Contributing to SolidJS core, maintaining production forks, or developing advanced middleware systems where compiler architecture directly impacts capabilities and maintainability
AVOID FOR
Applications not requiring custom compiler plugins or framework extensions - standard patterns from intermediate guide are sufficient and simpler to maintain
Teams without specialized reactive programming knowledge trying to implement custom reactivity systems from scratch - better to use established patterns from ecosystem
Projects prioritizing short development cycles over deep optimization - advanced internals knowledge has high cognitive overhead with diminishing ROI
Core Concepts of solidjs advanced
Production-ready compilation flags and build commands
Compiler Pipeline & JSX Transformation
Understanding how SolidJS compiler transforms JSX into vanilla DOM calls. The babel plugin walks the AST, identifies reactive expressions like {count()}, and generates optimized code that updates only affected DOM nodes. This transformation is fundamental to SolidJS performance advantages - no vDOM, only targeted updates.
Assuming JSX transpiles to React-like vDOM instead of direct DOM manipulation
Study compiled output: use DevTools to inspect generated code. Understand that {expression} becomes addEventListener for reactive bindingAdvanced Reactivity System & Fine-Grained Updates
Mastering the reactive graph where each signal is a node and effects form dependency edges. The system uses topological sorting to ensure dependencies resolve before dependents. Advanced patterns include circular dependencies handling, transaction semantics, and custom reactivity operators.
Custom Compiler Plugins & Code Generation
Writing babel plugins that hook into the SolidJS compilation phase to generate custom code. This enables DSLs, optimized patterns, or domain-specific transformations. Understanding the AST manipulation is key to building production-grade extensions.
Creating plugins that conflict with SolidJS's own transformations
Use plugin order and AST visitor pattern correctly. Always test with solid-js plugin loaded first.Memory Management & GC Optimization
Advanced patterns for managing memory in long-lived applications. Understanding how signals hold references, when cleanup functions run, and how to prevent memory bloat with millions of effects. Includes weak references, signal pooling, and cleanup patterns.
Hydration Architecture & Server Integration
Implementing proper hydration for server-rendered SolidJS with signal synchronization between server and client. Advanced patterns include selective hydration, progressive enhancement, and streaming SSR with proper resource coordination.
