I am using React for a smaller enterprise application and find it quite difficult to reason about. But perhaps it's not well suited to deeply nested forms with lots of fields.
After about six months, I finally feel like I've got a handle on how it works, sort of. It's probably not something I'll use again on future projects though.
- seivan 11y agoI feel like you lose out on using React if your application isn't going to be huge in terms of "components" and states. You're probably better off using simple_form and Turbolinks with Rails.
- nulltype 11y agoA better alternative in my experience is to implement just the unidirectional data flow idea. This gives you some of the advantages of react without a lot of the complexity.
- andreasklinger 11y agoimho: Forms are one of the things react still sucks in. Standards are missing.
- seivan 11y agoYeah I'm spoiled silly by Rails forms builder, both the standard as well as the better simple_form! But I suspect Components will make forms awesome for React!
