This week we worked with react to make the front end of the crud app we worked on last week. This was my first time using react, and I think it was a lot easier to start working with compared to other frameworks I’ve used, like Django or angular. Right now we are working with a hybrid stack, using spring for the back end and react for the front end.
One thing I’m a little less impressed about is the dependency management required for node projects. It seems like there is potentially a large grey area of security and efficiency in various node packages. I don’t generally stay well informed in this realm, but I know it is something to consider.
