  • A brief history of web development. And why your framework doesn't matter

    > Itโ€™s important to be aware of what you are getting if you go with React, and what you are getting is a far cry from what a framework would offer, with all the corresponding pros and cons.

    Would you like to elaborate on that?

    In my experience, with something as great, size/ecosystem-wise as React, there will almost always be at least one "mainstream" package for whatever you might want to do with it, that integrates pretty well. Where a lot of things might come out of the box with a framework, with a library I often find myself just needing to install the "right" package, and from there it's pretty much the same.

    For example, using https://angular.io/guide/i18n-overview or installing and using https://react.i18next.com/

    Or something like https://angular.io/guide/form-validation out of the box, vs installing and using https://formik.org/

    Or perhaps https://angular.io/guide/router vs https://reactrouter.com/en/main

    Even adding something that's not there out of the box is pretty much the same, like https://primeng.org/ or https://primereact.org/

    React will typically have more fragmentation and therefore also choice, but I don't see those two experiences as that different. Updates and version management/supply chain will inevitably be more of a mess with the library, admittedly.

    Now, projects like Next https://nextjs.org/ exist and add what some might regard as the missing pieces and work well if you want something opinionated and with lots of features out of the box, but a lot of those features (like SSR) are actually pretty advanced and not always even necessary.

    In a recent project I've been using react-i18next so I'll use its syntax for the examples, but pretty much every library works similarly.

    i18next - You can find documentation and resources for using i18next at react.i18next.com. i18next is a popular internationalization framework for JavaScript, including React. It provides a comprehensive solution for handling translations, formatting, and more.
  • Enforcing Localization through Types

    So far, weโ€™ve been using a utility createLocalizedString to create and use the LocalizedString type. This utility is only really practical in unit tests. For real applications, weโ€™ll want to use a translation function from react-i18next or next-i18next to do the heavy lifting. Then we just wrap the translation functions that are provided in order to use our type:

    I will be supporting Korean as a part of the beta. I have to look deeper into https://react.i18next.com/ in order to understand what it provides. My goal is for engineers to be able to click a single button and have localizations always up to date in their codebase, not delaying shipping a new version or having to even think about it.
