Ask HN: Very simple REST client in JS. Which framework should I use?
I just recieved an interview assignment from company I'm applying for, which I should submit in ~7 days. The task is to create simple web utility with BE exposed by REST API and FE in JavaScript framework of my choice - the latter is where my problem lies, as I have no experience with JavaScript, or frontend programming in general (the company is aware of this fact and wants me to cope with it).
So my question is, which framework should I use for this, given my limited time for learning? I'd prefer some of the mainstream ones, like Angular, React, or Vue so I can benefit from this experience in the future. My only requirement is making POST request to REST API endpoint and consume the response, maybe even asynchronously, but that is not a must.
I'd also appreciate if you could point me to some resources that'd benefit me with this task.
- gokaygurcan 8y agoIn this situation, I'd suggest Next.js which is kind of a framework for React applications and instead of trying to understand how React and related technologies are working, you can just start using it. Just go to https://nextjs.org/learn/ https://nextjs.org/learn/ and spend half an hour, probably you'll understand how it works and how you can do basic things such as navigating a page or deploying it to somewhere. I believe, between React, Angular and Vue and all their boilerplates Next.js is the easiest one to understand. And they have a huge example library in their GitHub repository if you want to know how a certain package/library/service works. In your case, this might help: https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/examples/data-fetch https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/examples/data-fe...

- throwdev 8y agoThey claim to use Angular, React and Vue.js so that did not help me much.
