I still use jquery actively. Without substantial work and complexity, a typical react site's initial page load still requires an enormous javascript chunk for anything to show on the screen. When I notice a site I'm using is slow, unresponsive (interactivity wise), or buggy, more often than not the react dev extension is lit up. React (and ecosystem) may represent the future but they still have a lot of growing pains to overcome before totally replacing jquery.
- mastazi 6y agoI also use jQuery from time to time and I don't have anything against it, my point was not related to jQuery. PS from your comment it sounds like you could be interested in Vue, specifically using Vue standalone without npm/webpack e.g. https://v3.vuejs.org/guide/installation.html#cdn https://v3.vuejs.org/guide/installation.html#cdn
- mmcnl 6y agoThis doesn't make any sense. jQuery is a library for DOM manipulation. React is a view layer framework. They are totally different solutions for different problems. If jQuery suits your needs, you probably don't need jQuery at all because vanilla JS is quite capable these days.
- cosmotic 6y agoThey are both used to add client-side interactivity. I agree vanilla JS is often a capable alternative. jQuery offers a lot of convenience though.
