Tangenital, but I think backbone still has a place post react.
React fills the void between web components and app flow, but it's not the whole story - it still confabulates data structure and function - whereas backbone handles views at a more abstract level.
An html input that does something cool is basically what web components are intended for. A module composed of several of these micro components is where react is beautifully elegant, whilst something like backbone deals entirely in spreading of concerns presented via object literals with benefits.
Backbone may not necessarily be the solution to the problem but it operates in a similar space to flux, such as it is, rather than react.
- epmatsw 11y agoWe've had good luck embedding React components inside of Backbone views. The downside is that you can't really go the opposite way (embed a small pre-existing Backbone view inside of a React component), at least without risking some weird behaviors.
