Concepts behind modern frameworks

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • solid-site

    Code that powers the SolidJS.com platform.

    This pattern is currently seeing a revival as signals, for example in Solid.js and preact signals, but the same pattern is used under the hood of Vue and Svelte. RxJS, which powers the reactive layer of Angular, is an extension of this principle beyond simple state, but one could argue that its ability to model complexity is a whole arsenal of guns aimed at your feet. Solid.js also comes with further abstractions of these signals in the form of stores (objects that can be manipulated through a setter) and mutables (objects that can be used like normal JS objects or the state in Vue to handle nested state objects.

  • core

    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

    A reactive programming library for JavaScript

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

    The bad news is: there is no silver bullet. No framework will be much better than all others in every single aspect. Each one of them has their advantages and compromises. React has its hook rules, Angular a lack of simple signals, Vue and Svelte don't scale too well, Solid.js forbids destructuring and Mithril.js is not really reactive, just to name a few.

  • Preact

    ⚛️ Fast 3kB React alternative with the same modern API. Components & Virtual DOM.

    In frameworks that re-run their component functions, like react and preact, this allows to opt out parts of the components again when the state it depends on does not change.

  • Mithril.js

    A JavaScript Framework for Building Brilliant Applications

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • knockout

    Knockout makes it easier to create rich, responsive UIs with JavaScript

    One of the first uses of this concept was in knockout, which used the same function with and without arguments for write/read access.

  • Angular

    Deliver web apps with confidence 🚀
