I love using Svelte!
I cam here cause i wanted to write Svelte, hahahaha
Deno & Fresh, hands down :-)
Comes with Preact & esBuild so I'd add those to the list too.
Hi, just had a look at Fresh and it looks sick. Are you able to deploy a project to a standard linux/apache server or does it need something fancier like netlify to handle deno for APIS?
Glad you liked it! I use Deno deploy, but you should be able to deploy it as any other app, as long as you can install Deno runtime in your server.
Here is a link from the documentation: deno.land/manual@v1.35.1/advanced/..., hope it helps!
Cheers, for this. Will check it out :)
Deno? Why? It is currently a mere toy nowhere near production grade. Did you know Deno ranked in the 400's in last year's performance tests? NodeJS ranked 212th. Isn't Deno supposed to beat NodeJS? It's not doing it and by a long shot.
Because I like to work with it. I enjoy clean APIs and itās just perfect for edge computing! Iām not sure what makes you believe itās not ready for production, Iām sure you have your reasons. I moved my personal projects from Cloudflare workers to Deno deploy some time ago and so far had nothing but pleasant experience, including a significant performance boost or latency drop if you prefer it that way.
Iām not advocating for switching, but do take a look at Fresh and island architecture, itās a masterpiece despite of its simplicity.
I find that performance boost hard to believe after seeing it ranking so poorly last year. Anyway, to each its own, I guess. Cheers.
Didn't know that. And why is node.js ranked at 212th place. Which one is ranked number one. Can you send a link or reference?
Hello. I don't have the link handy. It was the performance tests Microsoft used during their .Net7 presentation last year. A third-party company did the benchmarking. I don't remember #1. I remember .Net at 9th place, NodeJS at 212th place, and Deno being all the way down the 400's.
It would be helpful and beneficial to back such comments with a link in the future. Like this your comments lose value, where they actually could provide some. For someone who hasnāt seen the ranking themselves it could just be random numbers.
Thanks. The value of the comment is actually irrelevant to me in this particular instance. I decided to share what I read at some point in time. I have disclosed the origin, and I bet anyone determined to find it, will find it with my description. I just don't feel the urge to prove myself to anyone here or to serve as a personal assistant and look information up for strangers on their command.
Generally speaking, I will back my comments whenever I feel the need to do it.
Still, your advice is well received. I actually concur.
Performance test of what? Sources are very important for such claims.
I don't understand why people are so defensive of Node and Deno. I guess it's all in the hype.
Here: techempower.com/benchmarks/#sectio...
It has nothing to do with being defensive. But with all performance tests, the context (what has been tested exactly, and how) does matter.
I really like VueJS for front-end development. It's easy to learn but requires great skills to master.
I think it's one of the best frameworks for junior web devs moving their first steps in the front-end frameworks world.
As for my go-to library I would say p5.js for all the functionalities related to drawings, physics, motions, etc... it's a great resource overall!
I also use p5.js! I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
Svelte. By far the simplest UI framework in existence, yet it seems to be able to do anything and everything.
For configuration, I'll use my baby wj-config over any other configuration package.
Vue is always my go-to
lodashjestajvSvelte and sveltekit are my faves right now. I love the ssr with csr hydration process of sveltekit and the fact its compiled.
Svelte and SvelteKit all day.
ReactJS always
To each their own but React even with all its changes doesn't hold a candle to Svelte
Tried both: React and Svelte; Svelte is way better than React IMO; Better but coding exp-wise its NOT nicer.
Nuxt with Typescript for me, I guess.
I like date-fns javascript/typescript library for all my date and time needs. This is something that shouldn't be done from scratch, so even if it isn't date-fns, please do use an established framework for it.
Even though itās very very young still Iām having a lot of fun with solid and solid start. It may be my new favorite.
I think it's about the time to test it out again. It's been a while since I first yested it around and excited to see new developments.
Vanilla.js
Me too...
I really like NestJS, for apps with a heavy backend.
next.js and react is the perfect combo
Stimulus by the 37 Signals guys. Use it with signals (coming soon in tc39 proposal signals) and you have just about the most composable, natural way of writing ui logic that is still decoupled from the html (it can be reused with different markup).
JavaScript has evolved from a simple scripting language to a robust ecosystem with a plethora of libraries and frameworks that streamline the development process and enhance the functionality of web applications. Whether you're building a simple website or a complex single-page application (SPA), choosing the right JavaScript tools can significantly impact your productivity and code quality. In this article, we'll explore some of the most popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks developers love and rely on to bring their projects to life.
React.js
React.js, developed by Facebook, is a declarative, component-based JavaScript library for building user interfaces. React's virtual DOM and efficient rendering make it blazingly fast, while its component-based architecture promotes code reusability and maintainability. With a vibrant ecosystem of tools and libraries, including React Router for routing and Redux for state management, React.js has become the go-to choice for building dynamic and interactive web applications.
Vue.js
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, designed to be incrementally adoptable and easily integrated into existing projects. Vue's simplicity, flexibility, and intuitive API make it a favorite among developers of all skill levels. With features like single-file components, reactive data binding, and built-in state management via Vuex, Vue.js empowers developers to build sophisticated SPAs with minimal effort.
Angular
Angular, developed and maintained by Google, is a comprehensive JavaScript framework for building client-side web applications. Angular's opinionated approach to development, powerful CLI, and a robust ecosystem of modules and libraries make it well-suited for building large-scale applications. With features like two-way data binding, dependency injection, and built-in testing support, Angular provides developers with everything they need to develop scalable and maintainable applications.
Express.js
Express.js is a minimalist web framework for Node.js, designed for building fast and scalable web applications and APIs. Express's unopinionated nature and lightweight architecture make it highly flexible and adaptable to various use cases. With features like middleware support, routing, and template engines, Express.js simplifies the process of building server-side applications in JavaScript, making it a favorite among Node.js developers.
jQuery
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions. While its popularity has waned in recent years with the rise of modern JavaScript frameworks, jQuery remains a staple in many web development projects due to its simplicity, compatibility, and extensive plugin ecosystem. With jQuery, developers can quickly add interactivity and dynamic behavior to their websites with minimal code.
Conclusion
The JavaScript landscape is vast and ever-evolving, with new libraries and frameworks emerging regularly to address the evolving needs of web developers. Whether you're building a small website, a complex web application, or a mobile app, there's a JavaScript library or framework ideally suited to your needs. By leveraging the power of these tools, developers can streamline their workflow, improve code quality, and deliver exceptional digital experiences to users worldwide. Whether you prefer the simplicity of Vue.js, the robustness of Angular, or the flexibility of Express.js, there's no shortage of options to explore and experiment with in the exciting world of JavaScript development.
java is love
I've been enjoying Astro really clever stuff.
I like astro but I struggle with scripting and .astro components. I need to query all my components because the script is only included one but the css scoping does not work with the js. Using Astro with other component frameworks works great. Using it if not much js code is needed works great as well. But even writing simple scripts for form validation seems to be so much more pain compared to react or others. Also you need to serialize the props in html and deserialize them in js to access them. I think theres still a lot what needs to be improved.
React / Nextjs because they are quite profitable for me. Plus I wrote most of my hobby staffs in Nextjs/TS or maybe ( pureJS, React, bash, htmx, python and rust ).
Backend express.js for sure š
I've been testing out Hono lately. Pretty slick. I run it on Bun too.
Anybody else got a js backend library to recommend?
NextJS, HonoJS, Drizzle, and NeonDB on Edge Functions or Cloudflare Workers. It just works, very well, and very cheap.
qwik , react , tailwind, jsdoc, rust
For web? Next.js is king š¤“. My opinion.
hello
toolkit-use
Angular 16
JQuery
Tailwind & alpinejs for a quick a dirty patches on a legacy project
React and Next.js!
Me esta gustando ASTRO mas que el puto ANGULAR que todavia me cuesta entenderlo.
Hands down for Angular ā¤ļøš„
HTMX anyone? š
Svelte and React
i like to work in next js and their UI.
Framework = react
Go to library = lodash
React
