React has very little to do with reactive programming. It definitely has similarities, but in React you do not map the dataflow in the same way you would in reactive programming. Only the flow of data through components could be considered reactive.

The real dataflow in reactive programming which could be considered the 'state', is not managed by React at all. You could use Redux for that, but having a datastore with reducers which modify state, and actions which trigger reducers is not something I would consider reactive.
