Great work from the React team. I know the answer to my question is "when it's ready" but any thoughts as to when React might go 1.0.0? I've played around with it and like React a lot but I don't want to deploy until it's "version" stable. Happy to hear time (2016 summer) or version (after 0.20.0) estimates.
- spicyj 11y agoFor a while, we were aiming for a "1.0" release. Lately, we've been more of the opinion that React will probably continue to evolve over time. We'll probably skip over the dot sometime (e.g., 0.14 -> 15.0) to help reflect that we do recognize these current versions as more or less stable. The other opportunity is to just call some version 1.0 and then wait some amount of time (a year? two? five?) before making any breaking changes, which sounds less appealing to us. You can always continue to use an older version (and we'll backport serious fixes like we did in http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2013/12/18/react-v0.5.2-v0.4.2.html http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2013/12/18/react-v0.5.2...) but we plan to continue developing React and hope that people will continue upgrading to new versions. If you're concerned about whether it's production-ready (as opposed to future API changes), the answer is definitely yes.
- wasd 11y agoThanks for responding. I'm happily using React in my personal life but we don't use it at work (for no reason than we don't need SPA). One last question, is there an official policy as to how long will you support a release?
- pluma 11y agoFacebook and Instagram are dogfooding it in production for their namesake projects. I'd say it's about as "ready" as node.js was before io.js bumped its major. I've been using 0.13 in production for half a year with no problems.
