Hello learners, In this post, we are going to see the trends of javascript frameworks.
In this post, I will help you select a javascript framework if you are thinking of choosing your first project in javascript. Actually, before diving into the javascript framework, you must have thought about why we need to go for the framework? We can do it from scratch with the help of language, right?
Ok, let me help you a little bit.
Suppose you thought of doing a development project, let's for example you want to design a full-fledged web application that is a simple crud website. You have thought of designing it very interactive.
Just suppose any supporting library is not given to you and you have to design everything from scratch. Even being a simple website project It will take a huge amount of time to code everything from scratch and lines of code will increase drastically and also many of the methods you have to design and you will also not have any proper helper and documentation due to which it may take you to proper research about that particular task.
Sounds complicated right?
But you are not required to be afraid, here is a good helper for you to help none-other-than framework, yes you heard it right here comes the role of the framework.
A software framework provides you a generic functionality and standard way to build and deploy your applications.
It provides you the functionality of code reusability that makes your life quite easier. It includes supporting programs, different tools, code libraries, compilers, and various APIs.All these mentioned tools come together on a single platform to make your project a bit easier and more interactive with less code and dedicated methods.
Hope now you are quite familiar with the framework, now we will be coming to our main motive that is about the specific language and its different framework.
Firstly before going to Its framework let’s have a little bit of knowledge about javascript.
Javascript is a text-based programming language and it is used for both front-end and backend.
Javascript is widely used for designing web pages. It is widely used alongside HTML and CSS in designing web applications. But javascript is not limited to designing web applications, but it is also widely used in android applications.
Some of the interactive behavior of javascript is hiding the content, changing the color of the button on hovering, zooming, and many more.
As I have mentioned, javascript is used in the frontend, backend, and Android applications. Means all sides are having different frameworks?
Yes, they all have a framework.
Frontend Framework:
As we talk about the famous javascript framework, which is used by developers while designing the frontend.
They are such as.
- React
- Angular
- Vue
- Ember
- Backbone
As above lists are mentioned for the client-side framework of javascript. Actually, all are not the framework but sometimes we used to refer to them as the framework. I am talking about React and Vue. They are not the framework in reality they are libraries.
As they are not the framework so don’t take them easily, they do a lot more. If we talk about only react, It is the most popular javascript library and widely used by the developer.
Now the question is how to choose the right framework?
If you want a very simple answer to choose the best framework for your project, you can just google and you can easily see which framework is widely used by the developers and you can choose accordingly by just believing the trend.
But If you are a good developer, you have to choose the framework wisely. Here you have to specify the specification of your project and based on that you will have to research the different frameworks, their advantages, and disadvantages.
Once you are done with your research and comparison, you are all set to choose your framework.
For your ease here we will see the basics, advantages, and disadvantages of the most popular js frameworks/libraries, which are widely used. This will help you to choose your right framework not only for the frontend but also for you will find a constraint to choose between different frameworks.
React:
React is an open-source javascript library that is widely used for designing client-side applications. There are several features of React that make it unique and easy to use.
- React is component-based.
- Easy to learn and easy to use.
- Relative fast.
- Provides responsive design.
- It has a platform for Android support.
Above mentioned points are the basic features of React. It is not the end here but there are a lot of features inside it that make it more powerful.
React doesn’t use regular javascript for templating but instead, it uses JSX features.JSX is nothing HTML but inside javascript. It does not use js means not that it can not be used, don’t get confused.
One of the key features of React is that it uses virtual dom and this feature makes it fast to load the components.
There are several reasons which will force you to choose to react in your upcoming project.
1. React makes ease to the overall process of component design.
React is easy to use because it follows the component-based model to design the overall frontend architecture. Component-based models make the life of developers easy to maintain and debug code. React uses JSX to design its components and its makes easy to code because JSX is nothing but a combination of javascript and HTML.it uses javascript with HTML tags.
2. Fast Rendering
As I have mentioned previously, React uses virtual dom to update its component, which makes the overall process fast.
It follows the tree-based document object model.it provides a fast user experience with higher performance by consuming less amount of time.
3. Easy To Learn
As react is a javascript-based framework so it requires knowledge of javascript
languages to just start with react. As javascript is a typescript language so it is
not that tough for the user who is a knack for programming.
4. Huge community support
Any language which has huge community support makes developers’ lives a bit easier. As we as a developer having any bugs we just find it out over the stack overflow right?
So any language which has active community support will help you to overcome your new kind of bugs and problems with proper support. Community supports are not only for giving the solutions but also ready to adopt your solutions to the specific problem.
5. Special feature
React has various unique features which are making it popular day by day. As react uses virtual dom, it follows a component-based model, It supports JSX.
Apart from these, react allows one-way data binding, meaning it is designed in such a way that it follows unidirectional data flow. Unidirectional data flow provides better control over applications.
React provides class-based components as well as functional components. Using functional components makes life a bit easier because it introduces the concept of hooks which is far easier than class-based components, which follow complete lifecycle methods.
6. How the code looks like
Conclusion:
After reading the whole tutorial you must have a proper grasp and understanding of javascript, what is the framework? Why do we need a framework? And what parameters we should think of while choosing any framework.
For your better understanding, we have chosen a widely popular js library or sometimes also referred to as a framework. We have seen its key features and I am sure after reading this tutorial you will be able to answer anyone’s basic questions about React and its features.
Thanks for reaching out here, hope you like the tutorial .your feedback means a lot to me.

Thank you.
