Okay, so React is not fully reactive. But to say people shouldn't use it because it's not reactive? because it abstracts virtual-dom? because it should be more reactive-friendly?! Seems like the author was offended they said they are reactive, and made a non-informative presentation, that comes off as a rant because of the rising popularity. Edit:
looking at his Cycle framework's "Why?" on github, besides the part of 'Rendering separated from View' (arguably, you could say that React's render returns React elements which are virtual-DOM elements equiv), you can use the same approach with React. My current project's component almost never update themselves, except minor UI changes, which is understandable. apart from that, all the data flow comes from above, and my components change according to it. oh and it's immutable (immutable-js another great fb lib). That's the thing about React, there's quite a diversity in approaches for handling data, events, user actions, etc. |
