This just isn't true. OP mentioned React, Vue.js, and Mithril. None of these use jQuery as a dependency. Neither does Angular, Backbone, or Ember.js.
- Rumudiez 10y agoAngular 1.x uses a version of JQ Lite, and will utilize jQuery if it's already loaded on the page. That being said, I don't think knowing jQuery is very valuable for JS developers anymore. Browser standards have come a long way and frameworks are handling your DOM writes for you, so that major use case for jQuery is gone in any website that requires substantial scripting.
- gremlinsinc 10y agoReally? what if you have to support legacy apps that are 100% jquery on the frontend / php on the back? It's VERY much still a thing..
- Bjorkbat 10y agoWell, technically jQuery is listed as dependency in the bower.json file for Ember. But I think that's really only so the Ember jQuery wrapper will work properly. So you're still right.
