Why We Moved to React

Re:Why We Moved to React by pramodliv1 on Saturday February 27, 2016 @06:49AM (#11186856)

I use React and Backbone too. Here's the source code: https://github.com/pixyj/feel/tree/master/client/app

I use jQuery for animations and also for non-crud pixel-level DOM manipulations as in the graph shown in the home page: https://conceptcoaster.com/course/python-tutorial/ In the graph, I need to dynamically calculate height of certain elements based on the height of others. The height cannot be predicted in advance. Can React work for such cases too?

You definitely can achieve it with React sans-jQuery, though it is definitely more boilerplate/code than the equivalent jQuery call. This is an acceptable trade-off for us, but might not be for you, YMMV

Really like the app. I like the top progress bar loading animation. I'm assuming this is the relevant file? https://github.com/pixyj/feel/blob/master/client/app/base/js...

Trying to figure out a way to implement this with React + React Router...

Thank you! Yes, that's right! I'm not familiar with React Router yet though :(
