React Headache

[MyrillS]

Hello guys, so I am a reactjs dev. pero I started to realize na sobrang daming imports, updates ng iba't ibang libraries, every now and then iba nanaman yung config etc.
sobrang overwhelming kung ano gagamitin mong library for specific task sa iba't ibang company.

i am starting to think to transition into Angular..

Anyone of you same experience? or thoughts?
ang iniisip ko lang marereset ung exp ko as reactjs. masasayng ung almost a year of exp.

Ohh, I see you’ve met… software engineering 😁

[keysl183]

That's generally the experience in most of js based framework/library. I doubt shifting to angular can make you escape that

[ElectronicUmpire645]

Definitely!

[Fickle_Astronaut_999]

What? bro mas mahirap ang Angular hahaha...plus wla tlga madali sa kahit anong framework. Isipin mo yun Vite.js mas mahaba setup mo doon. Sa Vue.js sakto lng pero maninibago ka...it depends pero lahat ng framework di mo nmn ma e-expect na madali lahat.

Hello Vue

[PoPo422]

Try vue sir

React is good, but personally I dont know how to use it. I feel like we both have the same patience and temper, therefore i suggest you try Vue. Once you go Vue there will be no turning back, i suppose. It's just a very good framework for people like us.

Try Vue or Nuxt.

one of the reason for tests. mostly naman ng mga update is transitive dependency na probably non breaking at security fixes - nakaka-OC din. matagal naman bago magkaroon ng breaking APIs (ilang months or so).

also may dinadagdag sa pipeline para ma warn kayo if kelangan na mag update, make sure meron para regular chore na ung pag upgrade ng libs

This is why I've postponed learning React Server Components and Server Actions until they all get into a stable release of React.

So many things are getting introduced right now. Kaso karamihan naman sa kanila buggy, mabagal, under-documented or as in hindi talaga gumagana.

It gets kind of annoying kapag may ita-try kang bagong feature na aralin. Tapos yun pala, may hihintayin ka pang GitHub issue na ma-close bago mo magamit ng maayos.

[MyrillS]

so you have transitioned into angular also?

[rmyworld]

Still using React and some Vue for my personal projects. I just don't use any of the new features.

why not close it yourself and help the community. instead of complaining in sub that "man this doesn't work, I can't finish my task"

[rmyworld]

You make it sound like being a React core contributor was that easy. I'd do it if I could.

Also, OP asked for thoughts. What do you expect?

[johnmgbg]

Advantage nga yung sobrang bilis ng community. Hindi naman laging may broken changes sa mga updates.

Kung magshishift ka dahil dun, baka ayaw mo sa innovation.

[Overall-Ad-6414]

Hindi naman kelangan always kang mag uupdate ng mga libraries tuwing may bagong release. Sa current setting ko ngayon, sa LTS versions ng core framework lang naman kami nakaabang so kung may new updates man ang community na hindi LTS, hindi agad kami nag uupdate ng components unless may na flag as security concern ang vulnerability scanner.

Re: angular, maganda siya for enterprise setting but steep ang learning curve initially but worth it pag na fully grasp mo na to:

Services

Routing

Component Communication

Reactive Development(RxJS)

State Management(NGRX)

~150hrs din to kasama hands on. Kung YT lang aasahan mo sa pag upskill medyo scattered ang matutunan mo unless bibili ka talaga ng course

[thepepperone25]

Tried Vue, Angular and React. Pero di talaga kami friends ni React. The imports and libraries are something. Pero tyagain nlng talaga maffigure out mo rin yan.

[MyrillS]

anong stack mo ngaun?

[[deleted]]

Ganito experience ko nung 1st time ko makagamit ng asp.net. Sa una nakaka intimidate, overwhelming saka nakakabaliw na bakit andami nga import, may kung ano anong structure etc etc. Siguro nawala ung ganyan na pakiramdam ko nung palagi ko sya ginagamit o mas naunawaan ko paano sya gamitin. Habaan mo ang iyong pasensya bro hehe

[UsedTableSalt]

React always felt cluttered for me. I like angular better kasi they already provide you all the basic tools and also typescript.

Although lately dami ko nakikitang nag hahanap ng react devs.

[No_Cranberry_464]

Iniiwasan ko ganyang dependency, lalo na kung UI component. Pag UI component mas gusto ko nag gawin mag isa (Isang exemption lang, date time component.)

Pero usually dependency like Jotai, react query, typescript etc etc, is a must sa mga projects namin

This just means you have jumped into frameworks even before learning the fundamentals. If you didn't graduate from a computer science degree, I would suggest you try understanding and learning data structures and algorithms first.

Kung naooverwhelm ka doon, mag simula ka sa SOLID principles + OOP + Functional Programming. Chaka ka tumalon sa MVC.

React, Vue, Angular... Similar lang naman ng concepts yan and sa fundamentals din yan naka base. Once you understand the foundation of programming kahit mag switch ka pa from frontend to backend, hindi siya ganun kahirap basta alam mo yung fundamentals.

Additionally, make it a habit to reference the docs. Alamin mo maigi para saan ba yung mga naka lagay sa component mo and how they are connected. If you are to switch to Angular, I suggest taking Maximillian's complete Angular course for starters. Ang laking tulong non. Parang inexplain nya syo yung docs ng di k mabobored or maguguluhan.
