I disagree, I've never used jsx and I can still build web apps. There are plenty of templating languages to choose from, my choice is Jade. I actually have never touched React because I've never had so much DOM manipulation to make use of it. If anything I can smoothly update my DOM with marionette/backbone and a little css animation.
- Kiro 11y agoWhat are you disagreeing with exactly? They're not saying you can't build web apps without React and if you haven't even used React I don't see how you can make any judgement on that part.
- k__ 11y agoFunny thing is, I switch away from React if I have much DOM manipulation and only use it for the "normal" stuff, like forms.
- keithy 11y agoYeah, but the thing with React is that it's one library, instead of having both Jade and Backbone, you can have a fully React stack and have peace of mind through it. I've used Jade and honestly prefer the React way for sure because it combines the javascript with the html in the same file(s)
- rapind 11y agoI'm a fan of HAML / Slim / Jade too. You might want to check out React w/ CoffeeScript as it gets you pretty close (and has some benefits). It's not as pretty, but still better than JSX imo. I posted some examples here: http://rapin.com/blog/2015/02/03/reactjs-with-coffeescript/ http://rapin.com/blog/2015/02/03/reactjs-with-coffeescript/
