Agenda
Escape the entrance: Enter early
There is no presenter.
2021-11-03 10:00 UTC
Our interactive world opens at 10:50am UTC, but you can come early, solve a few fun puzzles to get into the event space before everybody else. You can also talk to someone, or collaborate with them to enter together. Or just see what happens behind the scenes, before the venue opens.
Yes, this is a reverse escape game where you don't want to get out, but in. Be the first one to see the world while it's being prepared for massive exchange of information during the coming 2 days
InfoListProviders: Beyond Liferay entities
Fabian Bouché
2021-11-03 11:15 UTC
Liferay has recently introduced InfoListProviders.
Most of the examples describe how you can map Liferay entities to InfoLists.
But you can also write InfoListProviders that integrate with third party data providers.
During this session, we'll demonstrate how we can integrate with a music / discography metadata provider.
The power of Collection Providers
Daniel de Francisco
2021-11-03 11:51 UTC
Did you ever find the asset selection capabilities of the Asset Publisher not enough for your use case? Do you wonder how you could leverage Liferay commerce data to create a custom collection of Liferay assets? Let me show you how to use Collection Providers to have your own custom asset selection based on Liferay Commerce data and how to use it in an Asset Publisher or directly on a Content Page with the Collection Display fragments.
Automation of Liferay customization. Can a simple functionality test save your neck?
David Gutiérrez & Meg Jedraszak
2021-11-03 12:17 UTC
When building customized Liferay solutions, teams often deal with very specific requirements. It may be even more challenging to secure the quality of the core functionality in these custom components when working in an agile way. In order to make a workflow of continuous integration easier and less stressful, we want to show an example of automation tests implementation that can be easily introduced in every based-on-Liferay project.

Let’s revive the Liferay Marketplace together
Sébastien Le Marchand
2021-11-03 14:43 UTC
Since its launch more ten years ago, Liferay Marketplace seems to have lost some attention, both from the community and from Liferay Inc. In this session I will discuss 10 propositions to reawaken the “hype” and interese around the Liferay Marketplace, and make it more impactful on the Liferay ecosystem.
These 10 propositions aims to be simple, quick to deploy, pragmatic and above all inexpensive. There is 5 propositions addressed to the whole Liferay community, as users or potential users of the Liferay Marketplace, and 5 concrete, well-defined and affordable requests to Liferay Inc.
The last but not the least, you will be able to give your feedback about these propositions.
Beyond these 10 particular propositions, this session is the opportunity to start a more global discussion all together about the future of Liferay Marketplace, about the expectation of the community and about the intentions of Liferay Inc.

Improving TreeFilter component performance in Content Dashboard
Beltrán Rengifo & Clara Izquierdo
2021-11-03 15:58 UTC
The audience will learn about how to detect, analyze and solve performance problems in a React JS component:
- Detect by performing heavy tests
- Analyze by concluding over the metrics
- Solve by implementing the most efficient and affordable tasks
We considered the necessity to audit the performance of our React TreeFilter component and we want to share the results we achieved.
In this path, we’ll show some JS implementation inside React components, how we tested the performance using the React’s OOTB Profiler component, and the final fixes we implemented in master.
Clara will present the component, it's main duties and the drawbacks we detected along the way. Beltrán will show the performance test, the results and the implementation of the improvements.

Liferay Objects, what are they good for
Neil Yashinsky
2021-11-03 19:52 UTC
We will begin with an introduction to the new Liferay Objects capability, and the parts that make it work. We'll compare Liferay Objects with alternative approaches like Forms and Service Builder, so you can understand the nature of the overlap, and understand which approach best fits your business and technology needs. I will build out a simple example to demonstrate how one can build a working application in a few minutes. I will then show a more sophisticated example built by a colleague to better illustrate the power of a fully operational Liferay Object app. This topic is aimed at Architects and developers.
Form your form fields in Forms: From 'hard to say' to 'easy to do'!
Martín Domínguez
2021-11-03 20:28 UTC
The main target of this session is letting know what are the keys when you want to leverage all the power of forms and create your own custom fields. No matter what, if it can be done with React you can use it in your forms.
Although actually the Forms and Docs teams are working hard to document this feature and provide examples with great snippets of code trying to shed some light about the different pieces that you can use.
Modern Applications using Liferay 7.4
Wes Kempa
2021-11-03 21:20 UTC
"Liferay continues to invest in features that make low-code development possible. Using Liferay Objects, Collections, Forms, and Fragments, teams can quickly make fully functional systems that are more powerful and require less customization than ever before!
Since App Builder is deprecated (and fully removed) within the 7.4 release, Liferay Objects is intended to fill that gap. Through the use of this slick new feature, we will be investigating what we can do in the low-code to deliver both powerful functionality and the great user experience that you would expect from Liferay’s modern UI experience.
In this session, we will build a functional application that demonstrates Liferay’s ability to deliver value quickly and overcome the historical need to spend days of development creating service builder entities, CRUD UIs, integration with Liferay’s asset frameworks, and creating custom rest endpoints. Liferay Objects are automatically integrated with other Liferay Frameworks like Workflow, Permissions, Asset so that they can be immediately used alongside any out-of-the-box capabilities. It seems unbelievable to many! The great news is that it is not only possible in 7.4, but you can do it too!
Let’s build great things together!"

APIs, this is the way
Javier de Arcos Velilla
2021-11-04 15:12 UTC
In this presentation, we will go back to the fundamentals and talk about APIs best practices that will help you design and develop your API into Liferay to create great API experiences. Some of them will be: how to define your URIs, use the HTTP methods and response status code correctly, design your representations, add hypermedia capabilities, provide advanced features and apply them to GraphQL as well as REST.
In Liferay, we rely heavily on good practices, and following them will ease your development experience as well as the user experience. We will go from theory to practice to see how following good practices affect the usage of Liferay tools as REST Builder to create your custom API.
Join in to know a little more about API design and Liferay API development tools
Save the Thread pool, use Async HTTP clients
Fabian Bouché
2021-11-04 17:01 UTC
Developers frequently have to integrate with backend web services (REST, SOAP...).
But beware of slow web services as they are going to block your worker threads while they wait for a response. And the pool of threads has a limited head count.
I've written two blog posts on the topic :
The objective of the session is to raise awareness about the Thread pool and to give one possible solution to this issue: taking advantage of HTTP client libraries able to implement non blocking processing, relying on promises rather than sync HTTP calls.
