ReactJS, an amazing JavaScript library developed by Facebook.
The purpose of this post is to provide you with all the information needed to start developing apps with ReactJS; I will be explaining how it works and why it was created in the first place.
ReactJS has become more than just another JS framework/library because it provides a different approach for developing web applications.
Before starting off with some basic concepts about React, let’s see how Facebook defines the library: “React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.” You can think of it as yet another front-end library you would use with Angular, Vue.js, Ember.js, or Backbone.
React is a library for building user interfaces and comes as a set of components that can be used to build large web applications. In other words, React allows developers to create reusable UI components/elements as JSX files which makes it easier for them to develop scalable applications with ease.
In simpler terms, if you have been using Angular, then the concept of creating reusable UI elements will sound familiar to you because this is one of the best features of AngularJS (Angular 1). However, once these elements are created they can be rendered anywhere in your app where a developer wants them to show up on the screen. This means they don’t have to worry about writing different code for each element or component they want to display.
Developers like the flexibility of working on scalable front-end applications but find it difficult because there are so many different JavaScript frameworks/libraries out there that do similar things. So why would developers choose ReactJS over Angular or Vue.js?
Because of the following reasons: – It is easy to learn and work with, especially if you know JSX – Components can be reused anywhere in your app without additional development effort – Virtual DOM makes rendering more efficient than ever before – Its developers know how real developers work which means it’s got features that will ease your daily pain of developing apps! Yes, that’s a good enough reason to choose ReactJS!
