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.
To approach an incremental migration we needed a way to embed react components within the AngularJS application. We found the great library react-2-angular that lets us create React components that can be embedded within an AngularJS page. This also allows us to pass in dependencies to the react components as props so we can leverage our existing AngularJS services to pass data and API function calls to our react components.
We use react-query to handle caching of API requests to avoid over-fetching of data from the backend which, in a way, acts as a global store. Since the query cache is immutable and all changes trigger updates within components we need to worry less about the state being modified in an unexpected way by some other part of the app.
