Another task that I have for the Open Source class is to learn about a project and then make a presentation to the rest of the class. I decided to research about a project called React. For now I’m just looking at what is possible to do using it. Because I don’t know JavaScript very well I cannot explain the codes right now, but for my presentation (in November) and for later posts I’ll be able to.
Basically, it is a JavaScript library to develop user interfaces. This post on React’s web site explain in a easy way how React works, showing step-by-step the creation of an app. It has some methods used to take input data and displaying it later on the app, to create a todo list, a counter and others, shown on the first page of the website.
React is developed by people from Facebook and Instagram’s team. If you want to look for more information and details, here are some links: Github, IRC and Twitter.
Cheers!
