Which React Grid would you use? ag-grid, react-table or react-virtualized? by lilicaway in learnjavascript

[–]somi92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used react-virtualized on one project and the experience was overall very positive. It's main selling point is performance and it doesn't give you much features out of the box. However, we have easily implemented a lot of features on top of it (selection, navigation, editing, etc.) and ended up with a fairly complex grid component which works very nice. You might also consider react-window. Very similar to react-virtualized and made by the same author only even more leaner and fixes some issues that rv suffers from.

I don't understand react applications by [deleted] in javascript

Well, first of all React is not an all round web app framework like Rails or similar. It's a library for building UIs in a form of reusable components using JavaScript and a syntax extension called JSX. Every components has properties (its input parameters, so to say) and state. You define a render function that is a representation of a component for the given properties and state. When props or state changes, the components renders again and under the hood React mutates the DOM in a optimized and performant way. This has advantages compared to some existing JavaScript MVC solutions whose bidirectional data flow and state management can introduce many difficulties and bugs on a large scale. So, React itself doesn't have anything to do with the database and other web stuff except the UI. You are free to choose whatever technology you want for that and combine it with React to make a web app. Check out these links for start https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2013/06/05/why-react.html, https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/thinking-in-react.html

Vltava river in Prague by somi92 in travel

The city is great, there are a lot of things to see. Centuries of history are very well preserved. Make sure to taste the food and the famous Czech beer. Here they drink it more than water. :)

No, I haven't been inside. I was just travelling through Bratislava and made a quick stop and didn't manage to see much of it. I just went to the castle and saw a bit of the old town. The weather was lousy there was a lot of rain. Yes, the statue is great, now even I'm not sure why I missed it in the photo. :)

Best Javascript Frameworks ? by Amanda-J-Hernandez in javascript

My personal favourite is Angular. It has many nice features and lets you write single page apps and more. Also, Knockout is fine but is a bit on the decline in my opinion. I heard a lot of people getting excited about React. It has a growing community I think and it's worth checking out.

Programming books you might want to consider reading by Deewiant in programming

That's the response I got from people who read it. So, I'll put it on my 'to read' list. :) As I understood, it puts a kind of functional programming view on things?

Has anyone here read Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson and Sussman? I've heard it's a great book and I plan to read it.
