React: Tools & Resources

JavaScript makes your pages dance, move and interact. For a front-end developer, it’s a fundamental skill.

Preface

A typical web application is usually composed of several UI components that share data. Often, multiple components are tasked with the responsibility of displaying different properties of the same object. This object represents state which can change at any time. Keeping state consistent among multiple components can be a nightmare, especially if there are multiple channels being used to update the same object.

Getting Started with Redux

React Router is the de facto standard routing library for React. When you need to navigate through a React application with multiple views, you'll need a router to manage the URLs. React Router takes care of that, keeping your application UI and the URL in sync.

React Router v4: The Complete Guide

In this tutorial, we'll take a look at using Jest – a testing framework maintained by Facebook – to test our ReactJS components. We'll look at how we can use Jest first on plain JavaScript functions, before looking at some of the features it provides out of the box specifically aimed at making testing React apps easier. It's worth noting that Jest isn't aimed specifically at React: you can use it to test any JavaScript applications. However, a couple of the features it provides come in really handy for testing user interfaces, which is why it's a great fit with React.

How to Test React Components Using Jest

D3 is great. As the jQuery of the web data visualization world, it can do everything you can think of.

Building Animated Components, or How React Makes D3 Better

Preact is an implementation of the virtual DOM component paradigm just like React and many other similar libraries. Unlike React, it's only 3KB in size, and it also outperforms it in terms of speed. It's created by Jason Miller and available under the well-known permissive and open-source MIT license.
