  RFCs for changes to React (by josephsavona)

With that in mind, if you’re the type of person that likes to experiment with the latest and greatest, React Server Components is well worth trying. The Server Components intro video is excellent, the React team’s RFC is a well-written guide that details how everything works. There’s also an open pull request where you can submit your own feedback on the feature.

• server-components-demo

  11 4,170 2.2 JavaScript

  Demo app of React Server Components.

  

For example, as I started to play around with the React team’s Server Components demo, I realized I had to fundamentally change how I approached building components. Instead of just creating a new file and typing export const MyComponent = () => {}, I now had to start thinking about how the component would be used, to help determine whether it was a better fit for the client or the server.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

• Next.js

  2,040 120,313 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

  

To be fair, most of these limitations come from Server Components being so new. The React team has stated that they expect most of the initial adoption to be through frameworks like Next.js early on, so it would make sense that some of these workflows are a bit rough today.

• Express

  673 63,725 7.6 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  

The server in the context of Server Components is a JavaScript-based backend like Express.

• marked

  A markdown parser and compiler. Built for speed.

  

For example, suppose you’re writing an application that displays user-written Markdown. Two libraries that can help you do that are marked, which parses Markdown, and sanitize-html, which cleans up user-written HTML, including removing potential XSS attacks.
