React VS vite

You can get proficient in Angular using the new docs in https://angular.dev I think I can say the same thing for React https://react.dev

Basic knowledge of React

Hello reader, it's Sourab here. Recently in one of my projects I used Docker and Nginx for deploying a React App to a front-end server. Let's see how I did it.

You can render the view from scratch on every user interaction, even in MVC. In fact, you can use React for that purpose. "Lots of people use React as the V in MVC." See: https://github.com/facebook/react/tree/015833e5942ce55cf31ae...

Personally, I have not run into large amounts of bugs of this type, and I have written plenty of MVC code using VanillaJS.

React, developed by Facebook, is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It follows a declarative paradigm, allowing developers to describe how the UI should look based on the application's state.

After searching for hours and hours, I finally found an issue requesting to Dockerize the application. It was a full-stack social media application called ChatRoom, with a React Frontend and an Express.js Backend. Even though the project was fairly new, and not super complex, it was exactly what I was looking for this time.

In this lesson, we will go through the steps of using Plotly.js in React. Plotly.js is an Open Source Graphing Library. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to do a simple plot with Plotly.js.

Library functions, for example, a reducer function in the Redux library (const users = (state, action) => { /* some logic */ }), functional components in React (const UserDashboard = () => { /* component */ }), and many other exceptions and conventions proposed by libraries and frameworks.

React - https://react.dev/

Look through the issues list for some project you are interested in, e.g., React

I have a monorepo which uses the npm workspace feature. The packages can be built with using vite and d.ts files are generated using vite-plugin-dts. Every package has a vite config.

Now, we will create a Vite project using TypeScript.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import riot from 'rollup-plugin-riot' export default defineConfig({ root : process.cwd() + '/client', plugins : [riot()], build: { minify : 'esbuild', /** https://vitejs.dev/config/build-options.html#build-minify */ target : 'esnext' /** https://vitejs.dev/config/build-options.html#build-target */ } })

esbuild plus Vite is out of developer preview and enabled by default, yielding 67%, 87%, 80% speed improvements for build time, hybrid build time and hybrid serve time respectively.

Speaking of frontend tools, Vite is definitely one that we can't afford to overlook. As your application grows increasingly complex, it is not uncommon for a single application to have hundreds or even thousands of modules. As a result, it often takes an unnecessarily long time for the web bundlers to process all of them before a dev server can be started.

I'm for Vue/Nuxt. While reading React code is fine, I found it easy to shoot myself in the foot (causing circular effects or getting no reactivity) in a way Vue didn't. Vue feels more explicit. I like React's TSX for embedding HTML, but Vue's splitting of model and view appeals to me. I'm torn on that one.

Vue's ecosystem isn't as big, but it's an established framework. Both React and Vue feel easier to work with than Angular. RxJS is really cool, but also very comprehensive, making it difficult to keep the entire API in mind. At least for me, who only use it casually (used to use it more while at Google.) And on top of that, I have to know the Angular API. Angular used to be great for Material Design, but I nowadays there are MD packages for all systems.

Nuxt is for Vue what Next is for React: SSR and SSG. It adds auto-imports, which is nice. At this point, I see no reason to use Vue alone, since there's always something that can be pre-rendered. Perhaps the frontpage, or help pages. Since Vue itself provides entrypoints for SSR, Nuxt is more of a file-structure based router that just simplifies things. The documentation is a bit sparse on e.g. the difference between a plugin and a module, and I usually resort to navigating their source to understand things. That might not be everyone's cup of tea.

If what you're writing is a web app, there is also Quasar, built on top of Vue. Similar to Nuxt in that it ties in directory structure, build system and MVC framework. It is also a Material Design UI widget library. Their selling point is that you can build mobile apps, and web apps with the same library. I.e. like React Native. I felt it strays too far away from the core simplicity of Vue, unlike Nuxt, but it's no doubt a very capable framework.

Finally, I'm currently using PrimeVue as the UI widget/theming library on top of Vue. It's okay. :\ Switched to it when the Vue Bootstrap project decided to to support Vue 3 (or whatever the situation was.) I haven't come across anything that's actively broken or missing. The companion library PrimeFlex provides layout CSS. Annoyingly, they've decided to close GitHub FRs, and some (far from all) bugs, and just keep track of them internally. Makes it more dificult to communicate, but I don't know their reasoning behind it (they didn't respond when I asked.)

We don't need a fancy fully-functional web application for this project. We just need a simple web application that we can use to deploy, build docker image and make a few changes to test our CI/CD pipeline. So we will just be using a simple react application boilerplate created with Vite. You can create your own or use any other boilerplate you like. So let's go into our working directory (any folder you like) and create a new vite application. I will be using pnpm for this project and here is a link to their installation guide.

Finally, let's create a React application that will use our backend to upload and download files. The quickest way to create a React application is to use vite, it allows you to create a simple SPA in seconds.

I started a new React app through Vite by running:
