Have you started on the Reactocalypse effort yet?
- hajhatten 6y agoEverything needs to be rewritten in phoenix live view now.
- jamil7 6y agoNo no no it's all about Svelte now /s
- rvense 6y agoI have to say, Phoenix Liveview is one of the most exciting things to me, although it's not a match for what I'm working on right now. But my previous job it would have been a perfect fit (a big SPA for monitoring a bunch of IoT devices that had web socket connections to a backend). We were two frontenders and two backenders and we spent so much time implementing and maintaining, not to mention _arguing_ over the API between the SPA and the backend, and that API would've basically gone away if we'd used Phoenix Live. I really hope to get to use it at some point.
- voidmain0001 6y agoThanks for making reference to LiveView. It reads a lot like Microsoft Blazor with server side rendering and two way communication through SignalR.
- fishtoaster 6y agoNot gonna lie, I've been waiting for that to start to seem like a good idea. :) React seems to have more staying power than previous trends, though. Off the top of my head, the frontend library supremacy* went something like: - 2008 to 2012: Jquery - 2012 to 2014: Backbone - 2014 to 2016: Angular - 2016 to present: React And although there are serious contenders, React still seems like it has a solid lead over all others. If it lasts another couple years, it's been the dominant tool for longer than most. * Based entirely on "what I was hearing the most about at that time," not on any rigorous methodology. There was still plenty of Jquery code being written last year and there are large, mature codebases out there in Backbone and Angular.
- wwweston 6y ago> there are large, mature codebases out there in Backbone and Angular. When it comes to large long-historied Angular codebases, I prefer the term "metastasized" over "mature," though now that we're in the 2020s we can almost use "legacy."
- jrumbut 6y agoYou know what's funny? When I was finishing a Backbone.js job (circa 2014? I can't recall) I looked at Angular and React and my conclusion, based on thought and research, was that while React looked better in the moment Angular was conceptually superior and would be the future (or the future would be something like Angular but better). That was really a thing I thought, I posted it too and people were like "hmm yes good point." I know I've been wrong before and since but for whatever reason that one stuck with me as a humbling moment, I had it all backwards.
