Fabulous sites that React to your needs and users
Overall Satisfaction with React
React is used by the front end team to build our website. It allows the team to work in a modular way, creating components that can be either reusable (saving development time in future developments) or exclusive (encapsulating the unique logic and preventing it to be broken by other developments). Working with React allows the business to scale quickly.
Pros
- Modular development.
- Server-side rendering.
- Small learning curve.
Cons
- I would like to see a separation between React as a javascript tool attached to the DOM and JSX the Virtual DOM rendering engine. With that separation, static sites (which are already rendered and don't need JSX) would be able to be even smaller.
- A React app might get messy producing lots of re-renders.
- React allows a modular design, which is fabulous for A/B testing (showing a different module to each user). Some of these experiments had an improvement as big as to pay for the whole team that coded it. So far we know the ROI has been positive, but I can't provide a number.
