Name a Front-end library that you cannot live without.

Comments

[Md. Moshfiqur Rahman Rony]

React

[humanfriend22]

I depends on what project I'm working but at the time of writing this I am particularly attached to VueJS.

[Alex Lohr]

Solid.js. Even though react work pays the bills, the knowledge that one day we can make the transition to this wonderful little library keeps me motivated.

[Gabriel Pedroza]

react for sure

[Medea]

flask

[peerreynders]

There should be no such thing.

Every dependency needs to earn its keep and if it isn't pulling its weight then it needs to go.

• You might not need *

Given the wide range of application holotypes that exist on the web there really isn't a dependency that is a good fit with all of them.

Wise words🙌

[AWCode0X]

no library
because the front-end developer should learn how to do thing without any library first then he can use the libraries

[Sadeedpv🥇]

Agreed🙌

[Aziz Kaukawala]

Agreed!

But he/she should be wise enough to understand which libraries can help them save time.

Example: Lodash: Once they understand how array, objects, string works, its not a bad idea to use something like lodash which helps do many things easily.

And yes, your point is valid, one should not jump directly on the library without understanding the basics!

[Camco]

100%

[Anja]

Totally agreed!

[Mohammad Shahzaib]

Agreed

I love when people answer this kind of stuff. You have a point but that's not really the question is it?..

[Alain D'Ettorre]

Although I've used many libraries and frameworks, the one I have to say Angular because it packs almost everything you'll ever need in a single framework while it can be integrated (ish) with anything written in JavaScript.

[FJones]

Gonna be the odd one out between the more-or-less-obvious "nothing should be crucial!" and the framework answers, and go with... emotion. CSS-in-JS is so goddamn easy with it, I genuinely wouldn't want to miss it, even on non-framework work. The other big one for me is pug/jade because I love the simplicity of abstracting HTML (in a very similar way to how I used to do it myself), but that's more nice-to-have than the universal utility that emotion provides for me.

Edit: To amend my pug answer: Nowadays, pug is awesome for HTML emails, because it just lets you freely generate the HTML regardless of the opinionated nature of other templating engines, and still lets you do the basic things you need. Email templates are awful, but abstracting them into basic inheritance and mixins? Godsend!

I'm pretty keen on Vanilla JS. And it works great with TypeScript, which I also like a lot.

If there is a front-end library you cannot live without, I would suggest your web development and JS skills are sorely in need of work

[Aziz Kaukawala]

Definitely Lodash

I know javascript (typescript too) has evolved enough to eliminate use of such library but I'm using it for so long that now its my muscle memory to write _.find, _.filter, _.findIndex etc instead of using default array methods.

[Abhinav Kulshreshtha]

vanilla-js.com/

The fastest JS library there is.

[Yash]

idk about library but I cannot live without typescript

[Deepak Yadav]

Why to use library ?? According to me we should know how to code without any library , coz we can't be dependent on libraries.
I agree libraries are also best option to code but we can't be so dependent

[Sadeedpv🥇]

So you never used react for your front-end project?

[Deepak Yadav]

i am using react, but i can live without using it

[Sadeedpv🥇]

Why do you use react if you don't like depending on libraries??

[Amohammadi2]

console.log(using_a_library == depending_on_it); // false

[Deepak Yadav]

😂💙✨

[Alex]

Vue and Angular are frameworks, not libraries.

[Sadeedpv🥇]

That was my bad, sorry!
