> On the contrary, React documentation isn’t great. They didn’t explain how to write efficient tests for a long time. Even with Hooks, I don’t think they give enough information. Most of the time, when I speak to developers about React Hooks, they don’t understand how they work.
I'm not a huge React fan, but I cannot agree with this criticism. Its documentation is thorough and complete. It also introduced the frontend community to the idea of Functional Reactive Programming.
- ricardobeat 4y agoReact is not FRP. It’s not truly reactive, functional components aren’t pure and have state - they are just sugar for OOP with mixins.
