Whilst I hand you guys a couple of Wrench doodles, rate this embarrassing instance out of 10 that just happened to me:

For the second time in my entire ICT course, I used irrelevant vocabulary to answer a test question (thankfully just a progress checker test, not the actual thing!!). First time that it happened I ended up using ionic bonds to explain how a laser printer worked. The second time I used the word formulae (which apparently is mathematic vocabulary and not just used to describe some recipe like in SpongeBob) to explain the advantages HTML developers can gain from website templates☠️

anyway embarrassing misuse of vocabulary aside wrench doodles as promised:

Predicting and programming: enemies for life (part 2)

Day 42 - Dec 17th, 12.023

This is the direct continuation of yesterday's post. I hope that I'm able to continue my daily journals as usual, but there's a strong possibility that one day or another I will not able to post, or need to post after midnight. Also, the entries probably will be shorter or just small updates sometimes even on weekends, but I will try to write them on the morning to be able to have time and brain to do something bigger and with better quality. And some posts I could even need to split into two if I need to stop writing one in the middle, like what's happened yesterday. There's no need to go into details, I don't want to expose my personal life nor of the people around me, I just want to inform that this end of year is not being great to my partner, so I want to be with her as much as I can to help and support her to whatever she needs to.

"A ghostly server"

Like I said in the last part, the application was complaining about not having a server, and the stranger, it was complaining about not having the development server running. This as a production build of the application, the embedded web-app were a static one, a static HTML file, why was it complaining about the server!? I tried searching around the Tauri's GitHub issues, but there was nothing about it, and creating an issue wasn't in my mind at the time because again, I am short in time and couldn't wait for a fix.

So because Tauri wasn't working, and I didn't even want to think about how to fix this problem, I switched back to CapacitorJS. This process was somewhat easy, because both of them are a "wrapper", so I just needed to move the web app part of the application from a template to another, but it was somewhat time-consuming (I'm not so accustomed to Vim and my new file explorer, so navigating was somewhat slower, and like every JavaScript project, just setting it up a template can be time-consuming). But after setting it up, Capacitor compiled, and the app was working as normal without any differences.

Framework hopping

While that was happening, when I started the project, I also wasted a lot of time choosing what framework to use. "Why?" One, JavaScript is an ecosystem that in general can be somewhat overwhelming with choices; Two, I already used SvelteKit for my last application and projects, so this time I wanted something different; Three, I wanted to try something more "native-like".

Web as Native

I started trying to use Framework7, because it has a collection of components and routing that emulates the native-app experience, and most important to me, it had the updated Material Design 3 (Material You) design; with Svelte, my primary UI framework of choice. But it didn't work that well. The routing wasn't how I liked it to be, and Framework7 is a somewhat old framework as it seems (it uses Gulp as its build system and the last commits were a month ago, the project is not that active), it stills a great project, but somewhat difficult to integrate with newer thing like Svelte 4 and Vite. After not being able to, I tried to KonstaUI with Svelte, but ended up with the same results. If you know something about this area of trying to make web apps feel like a native app, you are probably thinking something like "why you didn't use Ionic?", and the main reason is that it stills uses Material Design 2, and personally I like more how the newer version looks. Also, Ionic doesn't have official support for Svelte, and even knowing that the community package is good, I already used it in the past and wanted something new to try.

So, after probably hours, if not a day, trying that, I hopped into another idea. I found something called Beer CSS, a library that creates a Material You look and app using just CSS pretty much, so I could use any framework that I liked! Nonetheless, because it was pure JS and CSS, I thought it would be good to use Astro, so I could also take advantage of its new View Transitions feature, and could use Svelte still for the interactivity blocks. But as you can already tell if you know Astro, it's probably not the best idea to use a static site generator (SSG) as a mobile application framework, however it was working, and I was being able to create something and actually develop the application part of things and not just continue setting up new projects.

Lack of documentation

But then some cracks started to open. Beer CSS's documentation is not the greatest for me, it's mostly code examples and there's pretty much no words about customization and how the CSS words and/or how to manipulate it, and it seems that you really need to follow Material's system and hierarchy to it to work properly. I don't have time for this, and I already wasted 2 to 3 days fighting my way around all of this.

Also, while this was happening, the problem with Tauri also happened, which for some reason also made me switch from Astro to SvelteKit. Why? I don't know really, for me the problem with the server could be related to it, but of course it didn't work, and I had to switch to Capacitor like I said.

Blank screen and broken dreams

And then, another problem appeared out of nowhere, the built app with CapacitorJS started to have a total black screen when I opened it. There were no errors in the console, warnings on the screen, nothing, the app simply stopped working, and I couldn't find anything about it on the issues, and being honest, at this point I had already wasted around a week and couldn't handle it anymore. The idea of not being able to give at least something in time was storming my mind and I ended up wasting another day procrastinating, because I couldn't handle and think of solutions.

I had so many ideas for this app and now everything stopped working, I was exhausted, this was supposed to be something special for my girlfriend, and I don't want to lose the date again, even more now when she's passing difficult times in her life. I need to do and try something.

Compromises

This is where I am right now. I have less than a week to finish this project, and the app itself is way unfinished than I anticipated it would be days ago. So, what we do when this happens? Compromises, I already had in mind that I would create just some features until the date and then update over time, but now it will be just one feature and as an online website for now.

One of the features of this app is an interactive messaging page, to give complements and things like that, but for now I will try to repurpose it to some predefined messages and just express out of my heart to her using it. Do I want to be simple as that? No, but it only what I can do for now, and hopefully I will be able to add more things as time passes, I really want to do something special and specific for my girlfriend. Thankfully, porting it to a native app in the future won't be so hard, and I already have some ideas now on how to fix the past bugs that impossibilitaded me from porting it, however I will try to focus more on the features themselves for now.

Knowing my girlfriend, she will understand, but again, it's more of me to her thing in my mind.

Web Components & Modular UI

You might have heard the term ‘web components’ being thrown around in UI discussions. But what are web components? And how did they come about? In this article, I will attempt to cover a brief history of web components and the benefits they bring to teams today. I will also dive into how my team uses them. But first, let’s talk about what they are: Web components are a suite of different technologies that allow you to create reusable custom elements for use in your web applications. The functionality of web components is encapsulated away from the rest of your code. This goes a long way to making them more reusable. There are three main technologies: custom elements and their behavior, the ‘hidden’ shadow DOM, and the flexible HTML templates. These are used together to create versatile custom elements with encapsulated functionality that can be reused wherever you like, without fear of code collisions.

Back in 2011, a guy named Alex Russell first introduced the concept of ‘standard’ web components. A couple of years later Google jump-started the web components ‘revolution’ with the release of the Polymer library. The library was based on web components, and served as the authoritative implementation of Material Design for the web. It was soon after this time, a little over a decade ago, that I began to work on a new web application UI project, for which I decided that web components would be a key technology in my front-end tech stack. There were regrets, especially because of the flood of browser errors. I remember a lot of searching and sifting through obscure documentations and blogs to understand how to ‘glue’ the web components together with my application. A lot of the web component implementations felt experimental and it seemed like they were not completely ready for production, to say the least. It felt exciting for the wrong reasons: It was a new frontier of development, but ultimately it bred discouragement because of the challenges.

The React framework soon came along and changed many things. I, for one, rewrote my application in React and ‘never looked back’. It was so much easier to work with. And I’m sure that other developers, who were once web component hopefuls, had a similar experience. At the time, Facebook didn’t want to use web components and build on top of them because they didn’t fit React’s JSX model used for declaring elements. This was yet another reason to be doubtful about them. But obviously, not everyone was. In 2016, the Custom Elements v1 specification was released, which laid the foundation for designing and using new types of DOM elements. Soon after, in a bold statement by Google, YouTube was rewritten in Polymer web components. They kept evolving Polymer knowing that web components were a web standard, an approved spec that modern browsers had to implement.

In 2017, a few developments started to reaffirm web components as a viable modern front-end technology: First of all, the Polymer team started to develop LitElement, a lightweight framework for creating web components. Secondly, the Ionic team created StencilJS, a JavaScript compiler that generated web components. Both of these became reference technologies for web component development. In 2018, Firefox 63 enabled web component support by default and updated developer tools to support them. With Angular 6, came Angular Elements, allowing for packaging Angular components as custom web components. By the time the Lit framework was released in 2019, people were already realizing the value of having a layer of web components, especially because of the headaches from having so many different front-end frameworks. None of those frameworks were ‘native’ like web components.

In the last five years, web components have matured significantly, gaining wider adoption and becoming a more viable alternative to framework-based components, with key advancements through new features, the development of frameworks, and increased browser support. More recently, there has been a move towards more declarative APIs and the potential for fully declaratively defined web components. Web Components are now a commonplace part of front-end development practices, with major players like GitHub, Apple, and Adobe embracing them. They continue to evolve, with ongoing efforts to improve accessibility and other features like server-side rendering. They also continue to gain traction, with increasing browser support and usage in various projects.

Meanwhile, companies are feeling the pain of having built components using a specific framework. Of course, web components solve this problem; they live in harmony with other frameworks, not against them. Teams don’t have to change their frameworks either. Web components adapt to any JavaScript framework because they are natively supported elements in HTML. It’s the standard for components and it’s in every browser. This also makes debugging never too overly challenging because of framework abstractions. They are easy to share across teams and applications, and building a design system around web components means that your design system is framework-agnostic. Libraries have made web components very easy to add anywhere and to incorporate into logic systems, e.g. through native JS events. They work seamlessly across React, Vue, Angular, or plain HTML. This ensures long-term maintainability and prevents vendor lock-in ,  unlike framework-specific solutions. Web components are also compatible with micro-frontends and module federation, so clearly they are being considered during development of new technologies. Related to this, I’d like to point out that the ‘staying power’ of a technology is greatly enhanced when the technology is built into a specification required to be adopted by popular modern competitors. Such is the case for web components. This is important because some even speculate that native solutions such as web components could replace all frameworks.

So how have we used web components on my team? Our web components live in a repository dedicated to developing them, testing them, and publishing them. They are published and distributed as NPM packages, making them easy to share and import. Each component comes with a Storybook story that is also imported into a separate design-focused Storybook application, our ‘design lab’, where you can visually browse our inventory and interact with the components. Two application teams have adopted most of their components to be from our design system. Three other teams have adopted some of our web components. A few other teams are evaluating our components. The set of components used, and how, varies between application teams. Most will start with the Side Navigation component, especially because it serves as a visual backbone for our platform application UX. Our Grid System component is useful as it provides spacing alignment for all other components on your web page. Of course, our data grid component is central to the functionality of important data-driven UI pages.

Our design lab application has become a great place to start exploring our component offering. Storybook gives you the tools to display each individual component in an organized way and allows people to not only learn about them but also ‘shop the look’ by changing the controls of the component and playing with the component to see if it makes sense for them. We have also built a demo application in our design lab, showcasing visual integrations of these components. This allows users to see an entire UI built with our components, but this also allows us, under the hood, to test these component integrations. More recently, we have built theme-ing previews into our design lab, allowing users to apply a completely custom theme, and see how it affects the built-in demo application and each individual component separately. This ability is quite important, because our web components are compatible with theme-ing changes, and the design lab allows one to preview these ahead of time before you apply a specific theme in your application.

It probably goes without saying that we have used the web component technology to build all of these components. This means that, no matter what front-end framework you are using, you could bring these components into your application already, and even apply theme-ing through them. Using a common set of components that work anywhere, allows you to build applications faster and with a consistent look and feel. This has huge implications, and web components are the best technology suited to deliver this kind of central, modular approach to building UI elements. We don’t want to be limited by a less-robust technology that serves as a barrier to cross-application modularity.

Thank you for reading!

[fromdevcom]

Mobile app development can be costly, much more than a functional website. And as mobile technologies are evolving, experts are trying to figure out ways to reduce this cost. Cross-platform application frameworks are a step towards this motive. Before the introduction of these, businesses had to make different versions of mobile app. A version each for iOS and Android. Hiring experts of two different technologies can be too costly. And not to mention the maintenance cost of each app. React Native and Ionic are two of the popular cross-platform app development platforms going around. In 2020, React native was the most popular mobile app framework used by developers. Ionics was fourth on the list. However, as the two platforms are being continuously improved, the race is still on. Ionics vs React Native has become a hot debate in the developers' community. In this article, I’m going to compare the two in different aspects. I’m not going to be biased, nor am I going to reach a final verdict. The final decision will be yours. So, let's get started! 1. Functionalities React Native and Ionic are two different frameworks, thus they have different functionalities. One has to be proficient in JavaScript as React native apps are developed using JS. The code communicates with the platform, be it iOS or Android, and relays necessary data calls and functions to the native platform API. There’s a JavaScript API that connects with the native platform API via a bridge. This bridge is the reason why React native apps work like native apps. On the other hand, Ionic is based on Cordova that uses a Webview component (UIWebView on iOS and WebView on Android) or a chromeless browser view. The WebView components use an HTML layout engine to render HTML/CSS user interface. Cordova relies on a Javascript-native bridge to ensure communication between the WebView application and the Native platform. This way, the framework can access Native APIs and device features like the camera. 2. Technology Stack As said before, React Native is written in the JavaScript framework. Instead of HTML, the UI pieces are written in JSX. JSX incorporates all the powers of JavaScript and is much more advanced than any other language template. React Native uses both React because both frameworks are open-sourced and products of the same company, Facebook. If we talk about the technology stack of Ionic, you can use Angular, Vue, or even React to build Ionic apps. That makes it a little more flexible than React Native. The latest release of Ionic 4 allows you to use Ionic even with any web development framework. In this regard, developers might consider Ionic a better option -- especially after the recent update. It has opened up a huge amount of flexibility in building Ionic apps. Even web developers can learn and use this framework to develop Ionic apps. 3. Learning Curve The learning curve of different technologies varies greatly. Most people find React Native easy to learn and get started with it in little time. The concepts and way of coding are pretty much the same in React. If you know a bit about React and React Native, you must be aware of the small differences. For example, react has web components like , , while React Native has components that are wrappers around native iOS and Android components. However, if we talk about people who don’t know React, they will have to learn JavaScript and React first. And the learning curve can be quite steep with no React knowledge. On the other hand, Ionic’s tech is flexible. While implementing this framework, developers use JavaScript, CSS, and HTML along with their chosen web framework. It could be Angular, React, Knockout, Vue, or any other compatible framework. So, the learning curve here isn’t as steep as it can be in the case of React Native if you have no knowledge of React. 4. Performance Well, I’ll be honest here. Native apps are great if you are someone keen to give a top-notch performance to your users.

The comparison is between Ionic and React Native, not native apps vs either of them as native apps always exceed the other two. React Native is closer to native apps in terms of performance. And a little ahead of Ionic. React Native uses JavaScript to build native apps, so it has the same look and feel like a native app, and even uses the same building blocks that native apps use. On the other hand, Ionic is a hybrid approach. It doesn’t build native apps and you can encounter performance issues as there are lots of callbacks to the native code. This can also cause a lag. Also, you have to use the Cordova plugin if you want to access native features. One has to deal with performance issues while building UIs. So, if we sum this up, React Native is quite better in terms of performance. 5. Developer Community Community is something we all consider when choosing a certain technology to learn. The more people are involved in it, the faster it grows with time. GitHub stats indicate strong community involvement in both technologies. React Native has over 1900 contributors to the framework, while Ionic has around 330 contributors to the framework. React Native has 78k stars while Ionic has 38k stars. Hence, in terms of community, React Native is far ahead of ionic. But with the recent updates, we can expect Ionic to have greater community involvement in the coming months. P.S. Whatever framework you prefer, we love both! We are a Mobile App Development Company in Dubai with a strong clientele base all across UAE.

The choice of a software foundation for creating a mobile app affects not only the speed and cost of development but also directly impacts the quality of the final product. In this context, React Native stands out as a leading solution that attracts developers worldwide. Many popular mobile applications have been created using this particular framework: Instagram, Pinterest, Skype, Discord.

In this article, we have unveiled the most significant advantages of the React Native framework, based on the real experience of our developers.

The main benefits of React Native

A framework in mobile development is a set of software tools and libraries that provide developers with a standardized foundation for creating applications. It greatly simplifies the development process, as it contains ready-made components and templates that can be used for various aspects of a mobile application: user interface, media file processing. 

Among the well-known frameworks today, Flutter, Cordova, Xamarin, and Ionic stand out, but the most in-demand tool continues to be React Native.

React Native - is a cross-platform framework launched by Facebook (now Meta) for creating mobile apps based on JavaScript and the React API. Since its inception in 2015, it has quickly become popular due to the ability to develop applications for iOS and Android with a shared codebase.

Developers in our FlawlessMLM team have been using this framework for many years in creating apps for MLM companies, noting a number of its significant advantages:

Cost and Development Time

React Native is the most financially advantageous solution due to its ease of learning for developers. They can use existing JavaScript skills without any additional training. Speaking of development time, React Native also outperforms its counterparts in this regard. Flutter is significantly more complex, so developing apps based on it requires much more time.

Thanks to a multitude of ready-made components and a shared code base for iOS and Android, React Native enables the rapid release of a full-fledged software product or a high-quality MVP without any particular difficulties for developers and the ability to reach a multimillion audience of potential users.

Native Integrations

React Native allows developers to easily integrate their own components into mobile applications. This ensures a convenient user experience and guarantees a consistent appearance of applications across different devices. On the other hand, Flutter also allows integration with custom modules, but adding features specific to a mobile device or operating system will require more development resources.

For example, consider Bluetooth connectivity. Interacting with other mobile devices via Bluetooth using Flutter often poses challenges. Since Flutter does not utilize the device's native Bluetooth capabilities, developers face issues with connection and a decrease in application performance. Thus, the development process in this case is much more complicated.

Community

React Native stands out among its counterparts with its massive community of over 2 million developers. This community builds its ecosystem, filled with numerous third-party libraries, plugins, and resources for rapid and high-quality development. The Flutter community is not as large, so searching for packages and solutions offered by the community requires more effort, time, and consequently financial resources.

Code Reusability

With React Native, developers have the opportunity to reuse parts of the codebase across different platforms. This means that one can borrow logic from an existing project without the need to rewrite everything from scratch. This approach significantly saves money and time on development, making React Native an excellent option for those looking to speed up the mobile app creation cycle. On the other hand, Flutter works exclusively with the specific Dart language, which is limited to use only for Flutter projects.

Optimized Apps Size

One of the clear advantages of React Native is the final size of the created mobile apps. Applications developed on Flutter are generally noticeably larger in size, which becomes a barrier for users with limited memory capacity on mobile devices. The small size of mobile applications created on the basis of React Native not only improves the overall user experience but also increases the likelihood of their downloading and active use.

Post-Release Support and Maintenance

When it comes to support and updates for applications after release, React Native also surpasses Flutter. The more declarative and simpler rules for writing software code in React Native allow developers to make any changes and add new features to mobile apps more quickly.

Support for many platforms

React Native provides good support for various operating systems: Wear OS and watchOS for smartwatches, tvOS for TV screen connectivity, Android Auto and CarPlay for integration of mobile applications with car systems. Flutter's use is limited for most of these systems, it only offers partial OS support for smartwatches.

Overall, having compared React Native and Flutter, we can fairly call React Native the best tool for fast and cost-effective creation of powerful mobile applications. This framework enables the development of apps that work flawlessly across different devices, opening up the path for businesses to reach a million-strong audience and enhance customer engagement levels.

Hard carbon for high capacity sodium batteries

As electronic devices, batteries are fairly simple. Charge is stored through the accumulation of ions at one electrode, and released to the circuit through the movement of ions to the other electrode. Because ions have mass and take up space, however, optimizing battery structures can involve complex materials engineering challenges. As Daisuke Igarashi and colleagues at Tokyo University of Science explained in an article in Advanced Energy Materials, replacing lithium ion batteries with batteries based on sodium ions can potentially reduce costs and lay a more sustainable foundation for battery-driven devices. Sodium is not a drop-in replacement for lithium, though. It is heavier, reducing the available capacity per kilogram. Sodium batteries also operate at a lower voltage because the Na+/Na potential is higher than that of Li+/Li.

One way to increase battery capacity is to reduce the fraction of non-ionic components in the electrode. In lithium batteries, carbon facilitates the transport of charge from the lithium ions to the circuit. Reducing the volume of carbon by intercalating ions between thin graphite sheets can squeeze more charge-carrying particles into the same overall volume. 

In sodium batteries, though, unstable sodium-graphite intercalation compounds can form. Instead of graphite, the Tokyo University group turned  to porous hard carbon electrodes. Hard carbon is a low crystallinity carbon structure in which pores separate pseudo-graphitic domains. While the exact mechanism by which sodium ions insert themselves into these pores is still being studied, they seem to first adsorb on defect sites, then intercalate into the graphitic domains, and finally form small clusters in the internal pores. To enhance charge capacity, then, manufacturers seek to optimize the pore structure. 

One possible solution relies on metallic gluconate to form a template structure. First, pyrolysis of Mg, Zn, or Ca gluconate embeds metal oxide particles in a carbon matrix. Acid leaches the metallic components away, leaving pores. Finally, heating in an inert atmosphere reduces any residual oxygen and volatilizes elemental metal, leaving porous hard carbon behind.

Pyrolysis behavior is complex; differences in the pyrolysis behavior of Ca, Zn, and Mg gluconate lead to differences in the resulting pore size. Of the three, Zn Glu gave the best overall performance. With an energy density of 312 W-h/kg, sodium cells based on the ZnO template approached the  lithium state of the art. 

As the battery market grows, the relative scarcity of lithium is a strategic issue for rapidly electrifying economies and the companies that serve them. The emergence of competing batteries based on more abundant elements like sodium can help reinforce the trend to electrification.

What is Angular?

Angular is a popular open-source front-end web application framework primarily maintained by Google and a community of developers. It is widely utilized for building dynamic, single-page web applications (SPAs) with a focus on a robust architecture and seamless user experience. Initially released in 2010, Angular has seen significant advancements over the years, with the latest version being Angular 12 at the time of my last update in September 2021.

Angular operates on a TypeScript-based programming language, which enhances the structure and maintainability of the code. It implements a component-based architecture, breaking down the application into modular, reusable components. These components encapsulate HTML templates, CSS styles, and the application logic, promoting code reusability and easier maintenance.

One of the most important characteristics of Angular is its two-way data binding, which allows for the automatic synchronisation of the model (data) and the view (UI). Changes in one are automatically mirrored in the other, speeding the development process. Furthermore, Angular provides a diverse set of built-in directives, dependency injection, and extensive testing capabilities, making it a versatile and efficient framework for developers.

Advantages Of Angular

Angular, a popular front-end web application framework, offers numerous advantages that contribute to its widespread adoption and use in modern web development:

Dependency Injection: Angular's built-in dependency injection system facilitates the management and sharing of dependencies among different components. It enhances modularity, testability, and reusability of code.

TypeScript: Angular is built with TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript framework that adds static typing. This enables developers to catch errors during development, making the codebase more robust and easier to maintain.

MVVM Architecture: Angular follows the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architectural pattern. This separation of concerns helps in maintaining a clean codebase, simplifying testing, and improving collaboration among developers.

Enhanced Productivity: Angular provides a wide range of pre-built tools, libraries, and features that expedite development. Features like Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) and Angular Material for UI components boost productivity.

Cross-Platform Development: With Angular, you can develop applications for various platforms like web, mobile, and desktop using frameworks like NativeScript or Ionic. 

What Is React?

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library primarily used for building user interfaces and single-page applications where smooth and responsive user experiences are essential. It was created and is now maintained by Facebook and a community of independent developers and businesses. 

Key features and aspects of React include:

1. Component-Based Architecture: React is based on a component-based architecture, where the user interface is broken down into reusable, self-contained components. These components can be developed, maintained, and reused independently, making the development process efficient and modular.

2. Virtual DOM (Document Object Model): React utilizes a virtual DOM, a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. This virtual representation allows React to efficiently track changes and updates in the application, minimizing the need to manipulate the real DOM and improving performance directly.

3. Declarative and Reactive: React enables developers to describe how the UI should look based on the application's state. Instead of imperatively defining each change in the UI, developers declare the desired UI state, and React automatically handles the updates when the state changes.

4. JSX (JavaScript XML): React uses JSX, a syntax extension for the JavaScript framework that resembles XML or HTML. JSX allows developers to write HTML-like code within JavaScript, making the code more readable and efficient. JSX is transformed into regular JavaScript before rendering.

5. Efficient Data Binding: React utilizes a unidirectional data flow, which ensures that changes in a component's state automatically trigger updates in the UI. This simplifies tracking and managing data changes, enhancing application efficiency and predictability.

6. Strong Community Support: React has a large and active community of developers, providing extensive documentation, tutorials, and support. This community-driven aspect contributes to the framework's continuous improvement and adoption of best practices.

Advantages of React

React, an immensely popular JavaScript library developed and maintained by Facebook, offers many advantages that make it a top choice for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces. Here are the key advantages of React:

Reusability and Composability: Components in React are designed to be reusable. Once a component is created, it can be reused across different parts of the application or even in entirely different projects. This reusability promotes a modular and efficient development process.

Virtual DOM for Enhanced Performance: React utilizes a virtual DOM, a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. Instead of directly manipulating the real DOM for every change, React compares the virtual DOM with the previous version and only updates the necessary parts. This minimizes DOM manipulation, leading to improved performance and responsiveness.

Efficient Data Binding: React employs a unidirectional data flow and a concept called "one-way data binding." This means that the flow of data in the application is predictable and consistent, simplifying data tracking and rendering updates. Any changes in the application state trigger a re-render of the affected components, optimizing performance.

JSX for Readability and Productivity: JSX, a syntax extension for JavaScript, allows developers to write HTML-like code directly within JavaScript files. This enhances code readability and maintainability, resembling the structure of the UI and making it easier for both designers and developers to collaborate.

The Final Thought

In the dynamic realm of web development, the choice between Angular and React in 2023 ultimately hinges on your project's specific needs and your team's familiarity and preferences. Angular shines with its strong opinionated structure, two-way data binding, and comprehensive feature set, making it an excellent choice for large, complex applications where a full-fledged framework is beneficial. On the other hand, React, with its flexible and minimalist approach, is perfect for projects where you need fine-grained control over components and state management.  Angular vs react frameworks have evolved to be highly efficient and robust, supported by vibrant communities and extensive ecosystems. The best decision is one that aligns with your project's goals, ensuring you craft exceptional web experiences in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
