Synopsis
Many despise the current Knockout frontend of Magento 2 and this is why headless has become so popular. Magento itself is also building a headless approach – Magento PWA Studio – but it is not there yet. How to prepare for the new frontend while not letting go of the current frontend completely? One way is to add React components to the current M2 setup. This talk dives into the details of how to make this possible, including a way to call back to old M2 logic like sessions and price calculations.
