I think your missing the point. React itself doesn’t even carry themselves as a framework so why should we? In addition, by calling it a framework your taking away the core of what React is, a lightweight, flexible JavaScript library. So no, is not a small thing, it’s makes a HUGE difference.
Well, let’s take your analogy. Who is all? Adults?(exp devs) Children?(newbies). I would argue that a child does not know any better and will take this as a fact and therefore go order a BEER and get drunk (failed because he got confused).
I read this whole disappointing flame war, and still don’t have a clue why the term framework is inappropriate for React. If someone could take the time to explain that (if they can do so in a civil manner), it would be a great help.
Define terms. What is a framework? What is a library? Why does React fit the latter and not the former? What is different about Vue that makes it a framework?
Thank you.
Yea I think this is all a beyond pointless argument, but with that said my two cents is I think the defining characteristics listed in this Wikipedia article are a good way of articulating the difference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_fra...
The reason I’d be willing to argue React isn’t a framework (if I cared) is that of the key features of a framework listed in the article, React has no inversion of control - the order in which code is called (what code is executed and when) is not decided by React, unlike with frameworks such as Vue - and no default behavior (templates) - where Vue has its .vue single file components that are stitched together by Vue in a manner that Vue decides, with React you imperatively declare exactly how everything is rendered too.
Because it's creators said so and because it needs to be used with more libraries to properly make an app. Angular is a framework because it comes with everything you need to make a proper app.(testing, routing, etc...)
Thank you. BTW, I didn’t find the first point compelling. If the creators felt silly and decided to call it a banana, that wouldn’t make React a banana.
The second point, however was simple, concise, and well stated. Thanks again.
Great post, Esther!
Spelling mistake haha..This is more than a spelling mistake lol. So I guess to you, referring Mars as Venus makes no difference since they are both planets right?(even though there huge obvious differences). This Somewhat shows your understanding of things.
Great Article Esther! I've been working with React JS on & off. Mostly feature enhancing or bugs. Never really thought of creating a project from scratch, This made me interested to start one :).
Keep creating content like this! More power to you
Thank you, Karteek!
Gotcha, point taken.
Thanks for the valuable resources. Some are new to me. Well Researched and Well Explained :)
You're welcome, Imia! Glad this was helpful to you
nah - non alcoholic beer is not beer, its a mistake!
One fact and one opinion out of all this.
Fact:
React is not a framework
Opinion:
“Is not the most commenly (whatever this means) way of commenting blog posts. Just a tip for next time”
Well react is more a framework then a library. The distiction between the two terms can be looked from multiple persectives. But it doesent really make a difference call it what you want. No need to be mad about it.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
You should try stellisoft.com/?edit. All of these benefits wrapped up in one platform.
Well, I think you failed to read correctly, I said NextJs not Nuxtjs.
I think I might get into Chakra UI and Retool. Thanks for the info!
That'll be great, Tofi! You'd enjoy using them
It is a good list albeit mostly react centric, would be nice to see some other alternatives for other frameworks/libraries. Thanks for the list and explanations though
How have you built these awesome charts?? They are really looking cool! Especially the testing libraries one.
Great article. I’ll be sure to check out chakraUI
Great post
