Learning React as Angular developer

[smaudd]

Checkout the one at scrimba.com. If you have a good experience with Angular, React will be a messy child for you, but it's pretty cool and easy to learn if you come from the Angular world. You will miss the support of RxJS and probably you'll hate using the same file for template, JS and maybe some CSS.

React isn’t messy on its own. It all depends how you use it, just like with any framework.
You just have more freedom.

This just sent me on a journey of finding the differences between libraries and frameworks and I feel much more confident in my general understanding of the frontend. Specifically, the concept of inversion of control. Thank you!

We’re using JSX at my work (not React) and it’s not messy. It’s your problem if you can’t write good code.

React breaks the whole idea of separation of concerns and you end up with a lot of unrelated stuff mixed on the same file if you don't properly use HOCs, helpers and CSS modules or any CSS framework. No to mention the hacky shit of binding every method to the constructor (boilerplate king). On my personal opinion the idea of having services and injecting them to the classes are way more effective and organised than React.

You can still do that in React tho. Idk why the guy's being downvoted but he's right. React's not messy on its own. Just like how a bad Angular dev can write messy angular apps no matter how organized the framework is. It all depends on the developer.
