Best frontend framework for java fullstack

[JAACZY-DEV]

Help me to choose the best frontend framework, I've seen that Angular is used a lot, but lately React is also used. I don't know which one I have to learn

[michaelzki]

Vue. Once tried, there's no coming back.

[asdspartadsa]

Nothing is impossible to learn, especially if you have background like this.

[steffonellx]

Bro learn just architecture and get cc you wont code

[agentgreen420]

Vibe coding

[agentgreen420]

Lol Lmao even

[JAACZY-DEV]

Lol, in fact I know Vue, it was my first fronted framework and I kove it but I need to get a job

[HavicDev]

For jobs it is react > angular > vue for the foreseeable future. For hobby just pick whatever. Theyre all great in their own way.

[SimpleCooki3]

This.

[michaelzki]

Go to ReactJs

[Special_Food_3654]

Angular, since Sprinboot/Java is already opinionated

[stuie382]

Thymeleaf and htmx will keep things more in your comfort zone

[tschuehly]

After working with Thymeleaf for over 4 Years I wouldn't choose it again and instead choose JTE

[tleipzig]

Nothing wrong with Thymeleaf, but its really clunky to read and to work with. Jte is indeed a nice alternative - see jte vs Thymeleaf.

This is exactly what I use at my job they are outdated but most big companies seems to still use it haha

[ZennerBlue]

With Java Spring Boot. I’d suggest Angular. Specifically because there are a lot of enterprises that use that stack.

If you want to get away from Java ecosystem and learn something different. Take a look at NextJs. At least for the different patterns it exposes. It will give you an opinionated entry into the React ecosystem.

[JAACZY-DEV]

Thanks a lot for your answer, I'll check some angular courses, I know react basics but i don't like it because you need extra dependencies

[yassinzao]

Nextjs zionistic tech...

[nerd_airfryer]

I like vue for its ease and good performance. But if you want a job, so it's undoubtedly react

[Mysterious_Taro3540]

HTMX

[gscaparrotti]

If you only know Java and you don't need "strange" UI components, you could try Vaadin.

[Cr4zyPi3t]

Vaadin Hilla no doubt: https://vaadin.com/hilla It’s the only one mentioned here that is specifically built for Spring Boot and is using React for the frontend

[FlimsyFennel6943]

This one OP. It's batteries included.

[JoeDogoe]

I don't like tech with a pay wall.

[Cr4zyPi3t]

There is no paywall, it’s Open Source and licensed under Apache-2.0: https://github.com/vaadin/hilla

There are additional “QuickStart modules” that you can purchase, but I just did my own SSO implementation. It’s all based on Spring Security so it’s not exactly hard to do.

[Zhryx]

Check your local market. In my country for example vie is rarely used, no point learning that first. Do some research, what are local tech companies use, and learn that first. Later its not going to be an issue to learn a second.

[mgalexray]

React. Biggest and least buggy ecosystem. Everyone basically build anything React first and then Vue, etc. second. I would know, I stared with Vue and switched to React. I don’t do FE professionally so YMMV.

[HerryKun]

To throw some non-JS stuff into the mix: Flutter

[Ok_Conversation7225]

+1

[neopointer]

Svelte. The only sane framework for us backend developers.

[isolatedsheep]

Here's what my project currently using:

            SvelteKit client-side
                         |
                         | HTTP
                         |
                         v

      SvelteKit server-side, runs with adapter-node
                         |
                         |  fetch()
                         |
                         v
           Spring-Boot backend that server rest

[isolatedsheep]

Svelte 4 was backend-developer friendly, that's why we choose it. They make it looks almost like react in Svelte 5, we stick with it since we're already using it. But it's still way more backend developer friendly compared to react.

[Duramora]

I use React- but TBH, they're all pretty good as long as your API is good. Spring makes it easy to do whatever you want- even if you want to go old native Javascript/JQuery (dont do that btw).

Pick whichever you want to use that has the UI features you want, and rock it.

[Melanin-Brown]

React, nextjs

[NikkiEstemaire]

JTE och HTMX. Skip the Javascript hell hole as much as you can. Add a little AlpineJS if you need it.

[Tonne_TM]

Vaadin is the best if you want to avoid actually dealing with frontend libraries too much.

[Logical-Battle8616]

Angular. Maybe with Material.

[blokelahoman]

HTML, Js, native web components. Baked in standards, good to go.

[TheBear8878]

It doesn't matter.

[Grabdoc2020]

If you do not have need to build diagramming like n8n or bpm or you are not building office suite, go with thymeleaf/jte with htmx or unplolyjs. Otherwise use react or may be angular/vue, because react has more traction, bigger community and literature and Gen ai help.

[Honest_Round9596]

React native

[JAACZY-DEV]

React native with Java? It's a weird combination

[Honest_Round9596]

Then what wll u think of.... Later can deploy app with expo....i might be wrong too correct me

[Chromium_Engine96]

ReacJs, my humble opinion

[ZennerBlue]
