• Web Application Engineer

• JAMstack Developer

• UI Performance Engineer

Solid.js adoption is growing among startups and frontend teams that value performance and lightweight applications, making it a career-boosting skill.

1. What is Solid.js and how is it different from React?
   Solid.js uses fine-grained reactivity and compiles templates into efficient JavaScript, unlike React’s virtual DOM.

2. What are signals in Solid.js?
   Signals are reactive variables that automatically trigger UI updates when their values change.

3. What is the role of createEffect in Solid.js?
   createEffect runs side effects whenever a reactive dependency (like a signal) changes.

4. How does state management work in Solid.js?
   State is managed via signals, stores, and context, enabling local and global state handling.

5. What is Solid Router?
   Solid Router provides client-side routing with nested, dynamic, and lazy-loaded routes.

6. How does SSR work in Solid.js?
   Solid.js supports server-side rendering and hydration, allowing pages to load faster and be SEO-friendly.

7. Can Solid.js be used with TypeScript?
   Yes, Solid.js has first-class TypeScript support for type safety.

8. How does Solid.js handle performance differently?
   Instead of re-rendering components, Solid.js updates only the parts of the DOM that change.

9. What are some use cases of Solid.js?
   Building lightweight SPAs, SSR apps, dashboards, and e-commerce sites.

10. Where is Solid.js commonly used?
    In startups, modern web projects, and apps requiring fast interactivity and small bundle sizes.
