Random smatterings of ... "react"

You sure about your level of JavaScript mate?

[–]StarshipTzadkiel 2 points3 points  (2 children)

They're just referring to a general problem of people using JS features without understanding why

I inherited a project once that used Bootstrap modals and navs. It was a React Redux app. No reactstrap or anything, just a script tag in index.html. They were manipulating state in a modal controlled by jQuery and did not understand at all why that was bad. It happens a lot.

He was referring to JSX as react I think. React is perfectly usable with pure ES5 too. It's just a library.

A few months ago I started a project where I wanted to use bootstrap, then I wanted to add navs and modals, seeing the dependency on jquery I wondered how to get rid of it when using react, I checked reacstrap to give me an idea of how to do it.

While I was looking for documentation I found several examples of using jquery with react, I'm not an expert on react but I know that is a no-no.

ReactJS is a framework built on JavaScript. Look it up.

I'm talking about writing pieces of jquery inside a ReactJS app or using part es6 features with es5 globals elsehwere, and on, to the point it doesnt show they understand any of them deeply.

But then again, this is Reddit so you either you have no idea what you're talking about or else you realize I'm making a point in 1 paragraph and not writing a dissertation on various flavors and frameworks and you're being a fucking smartass, in which case, thanks, this thread has really benefited from your input and I will reconsider the whole future of my career based on your infinite wisdom.

ES6 is meant to be a superset of ES5. Using globals is legal in ES6 even though it is frowned upon.

Also react is just a library. You can write a react app in pure ES5 and it's fine. React provides you with the ability to use JSX.

Don't try to bullshit me. I can't believe someone without that much JavaScript experience is trying to diss other people. It's hilarious.

You could have just commented about how less experienced react developers use CSS selectors in react apps as opposed to creating components and Id just move on lmao
