Hello friends 👋
November is here, and with it, the ninth issue of This Month in Solid!
October marked the start of SolidHack and some other exciting news!
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 ninth This Month in Solid.

Solid Updates

SolidHack 2024

SolidHack has started, and at the time of this writing, we are eight days from closing all submissions and beginning to vote for the award category winners.

In addition to the awards, our challenges are still open, and you can still claim some of them.

Here are some of the claimed awards so far and their winners:

There is still time to participate, so head up to hack.solidjs.com/ and show us what you have!

Welcome new fellow

We started the month with an exciting announcement!

Tito has been doing a fantastic job, and we are really happy to have awarded him a Solid Fellowship!

Solid Router `cache` renamed to `query`

As per the RFC we shared in This Month in Solid #5, we finally renamed cache to query.

Besides that, we introduced a new onComplete API to be used together with actions.
