React Ecosystem in 2024 - Sustaining Popularity

Introduction

React.js is undoubtedly the most popular front-end library in the world. It has been used by many companies, including Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Twitter, and Uber. React.js popularity grew because it was so simple to use and understand, and simplified the concept of component-based design.

React.js ecosystem boomed with it. Many tools and libraries have been built for it. Existing tools and libraries also built a React version of it.

However many of the tools and libraries have been created to solve the same problems. For example, there are many routing libraries, data management libraries, and UI component libraries. It is hard to choose the right one for your project.

In this article, we will look at the React ecosystem and the tools and libraries that have been created to support React.

React Meta-frameworks

A meta-framework is a framework with a higher level of abstraction, built on top of another framework. Meta-framework makes it easier to build applications using the underlying framework.

React.js simply provides the view layer of the application. It may or may not provide other things like routing, data management, HTTP requests, etc. It may provide them but they can be at a very basic level.

Now, React meta-frameworks provide all these things. They provide things like:

  • Authentication
  • Security
  • Routing
  • Data providers
  • Database connections
  • Styling
  • Layouts

Let's look at the most popular React meta-frameworks to use in 2024 below:

Nextjs

Next.js is a meta-framework that provides SSR/SSG support to Reactjs applications. Next.js boasts of

Built-in optimizations Nextjs has optimizations built-in for production. It has built-in support for:

Image: Nextjs extends the img tag to support lazy loading and automatically optimizes images for loading performance. It can automatically serve correctly sized images for each device. Prevent layout shifts and also auto-resize remote images.

Next.js also can optimize our fonts and script for faster web performance and improved Core Web Vitals.

Streaming Next.js can stream pages to the client as they are being served. This reduces the time to the first byte and improves the perceived performance of your application.

Incremental Static Regeneration Next.js can update static pages after they have been built. This allows us to update our pages without rebuilding the entire site. This is useful for pages that are updated frequently.

Prefetching Next.js can prefetch pages that are likely to be visited by the user. This improves the perceived performance of your application.

React Server Components We can write Server-rendered components in Next.js. This is very good because we will have to do data-fetching in the server, the component can also be cached in the server, reduce bundle sizes because we don't need to ship the component to the client, improve initial load time, and improve SEO.

Refine

Refine is a React meta-framework used to build React-based internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and B2B apps.

It is an open-source for enterprise standing at 18K+ at the time of writing this article. It has more than 8K+ apps in production, 32K+ active developers in our open-source community, and 200K+ end users using apps built with Refine.

Refine.js is an ideal tool for building CRM applications, HR applications, financial planning systems, inventory management systems, and more. It scaffolds a complete CRUD interface for your data and provides a lot of features out of the box.

Refine provides us with options to select the data provider, authentication provider, and styling library. It also provides us with a lot of plugins to extend its functionality.

We can select the React platform to use:

  • Next.js
  • Remix
  • Vite-bundled React

It headless but also offers built-in UI framework supports for:

  • Ant Design
  • Chakra UI
  • Material UI
  • Mantine UI

Backend to use:

  • 15+ backend services including REST API, GraphQL, NestJs CRUD, Airtable, Strapi, Strapi v4, Strapi GraphQL, Supabase, Hasura, Appwrite, Firebase, Nestjs-Query and Directus.

The authentication provider to use:

  • Google Auth
  • Auth0
  • Okta
  • AWS Cognito

Refine has internal support for the i18n framework, you don't need to install an external tool for i18n. Also, you can easily audit your logs, and version your documents. It also has perfect state management for React Query.

Setting up a Refine project:

npm create refine-app@latest

You can also create a Refine project in the browser from here.

Remix

Remix is a full-stack framework that lets you build apps with React, server-rendered components, and zero build configuration.

Remix uses distributed systems and native browser features to provide server and client runtimes that are fast, secure, and easy to use.

Remix is known for delivering the fastest possible first-load experience. It is also known for its security, and ease of use.

Remix has a lot of features. It has a wide range of hooks, as well as a wide range of built-in components. For example, we can use <Await> component to wait for a promise to resolve before rendering the children. We can also use <Outlet> component to render the children of the parent route.

There is <Meta> to set the title and description of the page. There is <Link> to link to other pages. There is <Form> to handle the form submission. There is <Image> to render images. There is <Script> to render renders the client runtime of your app.

Routing

Routing is one of the most important parts of a web application. It is the process of determining which page to render based on the URL.

Let's look at the different routing libraries available for React.

Nextjs

Next.js has built-in support for routing. It uses the file system to determine the routes of your application. It also has support for dynamic routes.

The routes are set in the pages directory. For example, if we have a file named pages/about.tsx, it will be rendered at the /about route.

React Router

This is the most popular routing library for React. It has more than 50,000 stars on Github. It has been used by many companies, including Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Twitter, and Uber.

The React Router is the default library for routing installed by React devs. It is very easy to use and has a lot of features.

It has a lot of built-in hooks to help in routing. It has useParams to get the params of the current route. It has useLocation to get the current location. It has useHistory to get the history of the current route. It has useRouteMatch to get the current route match.

It also has a lot of components to help in routing. It has Link to link to other pages. It has NavLink to link to other pages with active classes. It has Prompt to show a prompt when the user tries to navigate away from the current page. It has Redirect to redirect to another page. It has Route to render a component based on the current route. It has Switch to render the first matching route.

TanStack Router

TanStack Router is a React router that is built for suspense and transitions. It has an in-built capability to handle data fetching and transitions.

TanStack Router offers complete TypeScript support, typesafe navigation, and nested routing, along with built-in SWR caching for route loaders.

It's optimized for client-side data caching and supports automatic prefetching, asynchronous components, and error boundaries.

Client State Data management

There are many ways to manage client state data in React. React has its built-in method but there are libraries built on top of it to make it easier to use.

Redux Toolkit

Redux Toolkit is the official, opinionated, batteries-included toolset for efficient Redux development. It is the recommended way to write Redux logic.

It is simple, powerful, effective, and opinionated. Redux Toolkit can also be used in Next.js and other extensions of it to React have been built also, the React-Redux. We can write reducers in Immer, so the Redux Toolkit integrates well with Immer.

Jotai

Jotai is a primitive and flexible state management library for React. It is built on top of React Hooks and the Context API.

It takes an atomic approach to global React state management. The atoms approach stems from the concept of hooks in React, a state which can be of any type can be created and managed. Actions can be performed on it, and it can maintain its state.

import { atom } from "jotai";

const countAtom = atom(0);
const countryAtom = atom("Japan");
const citiesAtom = atom(["Tokyo", "Kyoto", "Osaka"]);
const mangaAtom = atom({
"Dragon Ball": 1984,
"One Piece": 1997,
Naruto: 1999,
});

Jotai currently has 28M downloads on NPM, more than 15,000 stars on Github, 1,208 active members on Discord.

Its bundle size is just 2.78kB, so it is very lightweight and won't even make a dent in your bundle size.

Jotai is being used by many companies like Ping, Candycode, Adobe, TikTok, Uniswap, etc.

Zustand

Zustand is a small, minimalistic state management library for React that uses the Flux principles. It is very lightweight and has a very small bundle size.

Zustand has TypeScript support, you can create an immutable state with Immerjs and also integrates well with other Third-party libraries like mobz, etc. Its bundle size is 1.18kB. Has more than 38,000 stars on Github, 118M downloads on NPM, 1,222 active users on Discord.

Zustand set up a live demo where you can take it for a swing

Just run:

npm install zustand

Server-side data management

React has a lot of libraries built on it for managing server-side data.

Tanstack Query

Another of the Tanstack libraries, [Tanstack Query][https://tanstack.com/query/v3/](https://tanstack.com/query/v3/)) is a data fetching and caching library for React and React Native.

Tanstack Query uses the declarative approach in data fetching, you don't have to manually write the data fetching logic, point to where the data is and it will fetch it for you.

Tanstack Query is very simple to understand and use, it is quite similar to Promise and async-await code style. It is highly extensible and configurable. Several companies have adopted Tanstack Query, Facebook, Paypal, Amazon, Microsoft, ebay, etc.

Tanstack Query has more than 38,000 stars on Github, it has 11M downloads on NPM, and its size is 38.1kb to 11.3kb (gzip)

SWR

This is a library developed by Vercel the creators of Nextjs. It is a React Hooks library for remote data fetching.

The SWR stands for stale-while-revalidate, this a caching strategy that allows us to use stale data while fetching new data in the background.

The SWR library uses this strategy to fetch and cache our data.

Example:

import useSWR from "swr";

function Profile() {
const { data, error, isLoading } = useSWR("/api/user", fetcher);

if (error) return <div>failed to load</div>;
if (isLoading) return <div>loading...</div>;
return <div>hello {data.name}!</div>;
}

The key passed to is the first parameter /api/user, this is the key it uses to cache the data returned from the URL. So the first param is the URL from where to fetch the data and also the key to cache the data against. So we can retrieve the cached data using the key. SWR is lightweight, and fast and has support for server-side rendering, incremental side rendering, and server-side generation.

SWR has more than 28,000 stars on Github and a minimized size of 4.4kB.

HTTP

Let's look into the most used HTTP libraries for React.

Axios

This is the most popular and widely used HTTP library in the world. Axios is a promised-based HTTP client library for Nodejs and browsers.

It is very easy to use:

import axios from "axios";
axios.get("/users").then((res) => {
console.log(res.data);
});

Axios has incredible features:

  • Make XMLHttpRequests from the browser
  • Make http requests from Node.js
  • Intercepts request and response
  • Transform request and response data
  • Cancel requests
  • Automatic transforms for JSON data
  • Client-side support for protecting against XSRF
  • many more

The code above makes an HTTP request to the /users endpoint and logs the response data to the console.

Axios is used by many companies, like Stytch, Incognito, nonGamstop casinos, Casino reviews, BairesDev, etc.

Axios has more than a whooping 103,000 stars on Github, and more than 209M downloads per month on NPM, yes you read it right. The installed size is 2.07MB and the minimized size is 11.8kB

SWR

This library is also used for data fetching and has data caching capability.

RTK Query

RTK Query is a library for data fetching and caching. RTK Query adds a unique approach to its API design. Its data fetching and caching capability is built on top of the Redux Toolkit. RTK Query can generate hooks and we can use them hooks to in the data fetching process and also manage the lifetime of the cached data.

Form

We can handle forms in React using the built-in form elements. However, there are libraries that make it easier to handle forms in React.

Formik

Formik is the most popular tool for building forms in React. It is declarative, adaptable, and intuitive. Using Formik, we can build forms in React without the tears. Formik makes creating and handling forms feel like magic. It handles the state of the form, validation, submission, and error handling. It takes away the time we spend wiring up state and change handlers.

With Formik, you don't need to use Observables, subscriptions, or any other fancy stuff. To use Formik, we need to install it:

npm install formik

Then we can use it in our React app:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Formik, Field, Form } from "formik";
import "./styles.css";

function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
<Formik
initialValues={{ name: "", email: "" }}
onSubmit={async (values) => {
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
alert(JSON.stringify(values, null, 2));
}}
>
<Form>
<Field name="name" type="text" />
<Field name="email" type="email" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>
</Formik>
</div>
);
}

See its declarative nature, we just need to pass the initial values and the submit handler, and Formik will handle the rest.

Formik is tree-shakeable and supports i18n. We can add custom validations. It can handle API errors, form, and field level errors.

It integrates well with Material UI.

Formik is used worldwide by a lot of companies, like Nasdaq, US Amry, Booking.com, Lyft, NASA, etc.

Formik has more than 30K stars on Github and has more than 100 users active online

React Hook Form

React Hook Form is a popular flexible and extensible library for building forms in React. It is very lightweight, has a small bundle size, and is very fast.

It is highly performant, it does this by minimizing the number of re-renders, validating computation, and reducing the amount of memory allocated.

Easy to get started with:

npm install react-hook-form

Example code:

import { useForm, SubmitHandler } from "react-hook-form";

type Inputs = {
example: string;
exampleRequired: string;
};

export default function App() {
const {
register,
handleSubmit,
watch,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm<Inputs>();
const onSubmit: SubmitHandler<Inputs> = (data) => console.log(data);

console.log(watch("example")); // watch input value by passing the name of it

return (
/* "handleSubmit" will validate your inputs before invoking "onSubmit" */
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
{/* register your input into the hook by invoking the "register" function */}
<input defaultValue="test" {...register("example")} />

{/* include validation with required or other standard HTML validation rules */}
<input {...register("exampleRequired", { required: true })} />
{/* errors will return when field validation fails */}
{errors.exampleRequired && <span>This field is required</span>}

<input type="submit" />
</form>
);
}

It has a plethora of hooks you can use, built-in validations, integration with UI libraries, controlled inputs, states, and services.

React Hook Form has more than 30K stars on Github and 238M downloads on NPM. It has 385 users in Discord

It is supported and backed by Casino Reviews, Vercel and BeekAI.

React Final Form

React Final Form is a subscription-based form of state management for React. It is modular, which means we can use only the parts we need. You don't need to download the whole library just for two fields.

It has zero dependencies, it does not depend on another library for any functionality everything is built-in.

It is very fast, it has a small bundle size, and it is very easy to use.

It is compatible with React hooks.

React Final Form is used by many big companies like, Google, Cisco, Salesforce, Yandex, TED, Nokia, etc.

React Final Form has 7.3K stars on Githib, and has up to 1.3M downloads per month on NPM and has 8 sponsors.

Installation is simple:

npm install --save final-form react-final-form

Then, use:

import { Form, Field } from "react-final-form";

const MyForm = () => (
<Form
onSubmit={onSubmit}
validate={validate}
render={({ handleSubmit }) => (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<h2>Simple Default Input</h2>
<div>
<label>First Name</label>
<Field name="firstName" component="input" placeholder="First Name" />
</div>

<h2>An Arbitrary Reusable Input Component</h2>
<div>
<label>Interests</label>
<Field name="interests" component={InterestPicker} />
</div>

<h2>Render Function</h2>
<Field
name="bio"
render={({ input, meta }) => (
<div>
<label>Bio</label>
<textarea {...input} />
{meta.touched && meta.error && <span>{meta.error}</span>}
</div>
)}
/>

<h2>Render Function as Children</h2>
<Field name="phone">
{({ input, meta }) => (
<div>
<label>Phone</label>
<input type="text" {...input} placeholder="Phone" />
{meta.touched && meta.error && <span>{meta.error}</span>}
</div>
)}
</Field>

<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
)}
/>
);

Testing

There are many testing libraries in the React testing sub-ecosystem. Let's look at some of them.

Jest

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework designed to ensure the correctness of any JavaScript codebase. It allows you to write tests with an approachable, familiar, and feature-rich API that gives you results quickly.

React Testing Library

React Testing Library is a powerful library for rendering and testing React components. It is very simple and easy to use.

We can write tests for our React components without worrying about implementation details. We can write tests that are more maintainable and less brittle. The tests are written in JSX and the React Testing Library lets us test so many aspects of it. Apart from React, React Testing Library also works with Vue, Angular, Svelte, etc.

It is easy to set up, just run:

npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react

And you can begin to write your tests.

Also, we can test hooks using the React Testing Library, this is done using the renderHook API. We can test for components being rendered in the DOM document, we can test for snapshots, and get texts and elements from the DOM to test for them.

React Testing Library is really powerful and highly useful. It sits at 18,329 stars on Github, has 37M downloads per month and has 141 contributors

Playwright

Playwright is mostly used for E2E(end-to-end) testing. It is a framework used for web testing and automation, it has a single API that enables cross-browser testing.

To set up Playwright, we need to install it:

npm i -D @playwright/test
# install supported browsers
npx playwright install

Playwright has more than 57,000 stars on Github and is widely chosen and used by companies and open-source projects, VS Code, Bing, Outlook, Disney Plus Hotstar, etc.

Cypress

Cypress is a library for writing tests, and automation tests and accelerates the ease with which tests are written, run, and via continuous integration.

Cypress is used for unit tests, and e2e tests and runs the tests very fast. There are no servers, drivers, or other dependencies to install or configure.

It eliminates flaky tests by running tests in the same run loop as the application. This enables Cypress to control every aspect of the test run, including the network, browser, and page content.

It integrates very well with many CI providers, like CircleCI, TravisCI, Jenkins, BitBucket, GitLab, and Github.

It has up to 5M+ weekly downloads, 45K+ stars on Github, and 1M+ dependent repositories.

const todos = [
{ text: "Buy milk", id: 1 },
{ text: "Learn Component Testing", id: 2 },
];

cy.mount(<TodoList todos={todos} />);
// the component starts running like a mini web app
cy.get('[data-testid="todos"]').should("have.length", todos.length);
});

Headless CMS

There are several headless CMS that integrate well with React. Let's look at some of them.

Strapi

Strapi is an open-source headless content management system (CMS) designed to make it easy to create, edit, and manage content.

Styling

We will look into styling libraries for React.

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind is a utility-based CSS framework. It has a lot of utility classes that can be used to style our components.

These utility classes are CSS classes that are targeted for specific styling selectors. For example, we can use bg-red-500 to set the background color of an element to red.

For example, Tailwind has these flex, pt-4, text-center, and rotate-90 classes. flex is a class with CSS styling like this:

.flex {
display: flex;
}

So when we use the flex class on an element, it will be styled with the display: flex CSS property.

Getting started with Tailwind is quite easy:

npm install -D tailwindcss
npx tailwindcss init

We can also set events via utility classes with Tailwind.

<button class="bg-sky-500 hover:bg-sky-700 ...">Save changes</button>

Also, has a playground where you can test it out.

Styled Components is a CSS-in-JS library that allows us to write CSS in our JavaScript code. It is very easy to use and has a lot of features.

Example:

const Button = styled.button`
width: 11rem;
`;

This creates a button component and sets its width to 11rem.

Install via:

npm install styled-components

We can create animations, and theme our applications using Styled Components. Styled Components is really powerful and has a lot of features.

It has more than 39,000 stars on Github, and 27M downloads on NPM.

Emotion

Emotion is another library for writing CSS using JavaScript. It uses the same tagged literal string syntax as Styled Components.

The syntax is very similar to Styled Components, so it is very easy to use.

import { css } from "@emotion/react";

<div
className={css`
padding: 32px;
background-color: hotpink;
`}
>
Hover to change color.
</div>;

The above code creates a div element with a hot pink background color and padding of 32px. Emotion supports media queries, nested selectors, and composition.

Emotion has more than 16,000 stars on Github, 15 sponsors and 33 backers.

UI component libraries

We have many UI component libraries we can use in our React projects

Material UI

Material UI is one of the most popular UI component libraries in the world, if not the most popular. It is used by many companies, like Uber, Netflix, Twitter, etc.

It is not on NPM, so you cannot install it.

Shadcn has utility classes and CSS variables for use. It sits at 37.2K stars on Github

Data visualization

This is a very important part of web development. This is the visual presentation of data in a graphical format. It is used to communicate information clearly and efficiently to users. There are many tools that integrate well with React for data visualization.

D3

This is the most popular of them all. D3 creates custom dynamic visualizations with unparalleled flexibility.

It integrates well with React. We just have to run the command yarn add d3 to install it and import it import * as d3 from "d3";.

Example in React:

import * as d3 from "d3";

export default function LinePlot({
data,
width = 640,
height = 400,
marginTop = 20,
marginRight = 20,
marginBottom = 20,
marginLeft = 20,
}) {
const x = d3.scaleLinear(
[0, data.length - 1],
[marginLeft, width - marginRight],
);
const y = d3.scaleLinear(d3.extent(data), [height - marginBottom, marginTop]);
const line = d3.line((d, i) => x(i), y);
return (
<svg width={width} height={height}>
<path
fill="none"
