The UI component library React gives you flexibility.
But it doesn’t give you:
- data grids
- pivot tables
- advanced UI systems
So what happens?
You build or integrate everything manually
The Problem
In real-world apps:
- UI complexity increases
- Data handling gets messy
- performance needs optimization
React alone doesn’t solve this
The Hybrid Approach
Instead of replacing React:
extend it
Using Ext JS Reactor, you can:
Use Sencha Ext JS components inside React
keep React structure intact
avoid rewriting complex UI
What You Actually Get
- Full Component Access
- grids
- trees
- pivot tables
- charts
Everything works inside React
- Same Performance as Ext JS
No difference in behavior
Reactor just coordinates between React + Ext JS
- Optimized Build
Webpack plugin:
includes only used components
supports code splitting
- Flexible Architecture
You can:
use React components
Use the Ext JS class system
or mix both
Limitations
- no server-side rendering
- requires setup
- depends on the Ext JS ecosystem
Why This Matters
React = flexible UI layer
Ext JS = structured UI + data system
Together:
- faster development
- less integration work
- better scalability
Final Thought
React solves UI composition
Ext JS solves UI complexity
Combining them solves both
