Options like React-Native When you use React for a web app, how close are you to turn it into a React Native app?

It's difficult to convert a React web app into a React Native app, but you can use many React Native components on the web (via react-native-web. [1]) In other words, you can't run a web app on mobile, but you can run a mobile app on the web.

I just launched a little game that I built with React Native [2], where I have a single codebase that supports iOS, Android, Windows, and web.

Vue is backed by one of the biggest companies in China. You need to do more research. Vue is more popular in China than React. I would say I would rather start a new an app using Vue because of the learning curve is a lot faster to pick up than React.

Too many VueJS repos I see on Github have Chinese only readme

If we move away from only spa appications vue has other use cases. For a Rails / PHP site that only needs small amount of javascript vue feels like a natural choice to replace some of the existing jquery

Isn't the same true of React however?

the hearsay is that if you used only components that are available for both, it'd take very little extra boiler plate to get it working on both native and web. But all non-trivial apps have their own components and that's what makes native difficult.

This is not really true, the react-native-web project provides compatibility for all of the fundamental components that you need, such as View, Image, ScrollView, TouchableOpacity, etc.

There are still some missing components [1], but nothing I really needed (or couldn't work around).

A non-trivial amount of info and discussion around Vue (esp. third-party packages) is in Chinese. Whether that's a plus or a minus depends on whether you understand the language.

I have started to use museUI. A material UI library based on vuejs. It is also mostly in Chinese. I was reluctant initially but made the jump.

Then one day I had an issue. Posted it. Interestingly some other guy posted a PR to solve that. And it got merged the next day. So it ended well for me. But can't say that for other repos. Just my experience.

I've always felt that React is a constantly churning ecosystem. The patterns keep changing too fast for me to settle down or catch up. That way Vue.js has done an amazing job. Sort of reminded me of Rails. Today I'm happy with Vue.js for my small to medium applications. Keeps things simple and beautiful.

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/routing.html For most Single Page Applications, it’s recommended to use the officially-supported vue-router library. For more details, see vue-router’s documentation. https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router -- https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/state-management.html Vue offers vuex: our own Elm-inspired state management library. https://github.com/vuejs/vuex -- Out of the box or not, they're part of th…

Redux has been from the same github org for a very long time too: https://github.com/reactjs/redux And react-router, while not being on the same github, is pretty much considered a standard too. It's ok to not split hairs for vue.js, but then you shouldn't do the same for react...

To clarify: the ReactJS org is solely a community organization for some commonly used packages. It's not an official Facebook+React thing, even though both Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark, creators of Redux, are now actually on the React team.

(I'm one of the current maintainers of Redux.)

I have (some) experience with both React and Vue 2 and definitely prefer the later. Vue is very minimalistic but unlike React provides a lot of functionality out of the box. Stuff like the router, the computed properties, automatic change detection, HTML templates, scoped css, animations, ... . But what's more important is the fact it does all these things in an extremely elegant and unobtrusive way. The computed pro…

> unlike React provides a lot of functionality out of the box. Stuff like the router, the computed properties, automatic change detection, I never studied Vue, but the article starts saying "Both have separate, but commonly used, router and state management libraries". This doesn't look like "out of the box" to me.

In separate repos, yes, but unlike React both the Router and Store are official.

When using Vue CLI it configures a project for you with vue-router and vuex.

When we're talking frameworks that you'll use again and again I don't really think this is a factor. You'll only need to pick it up once. I'm a lot more concerned about long term maintainability.

1. Vue has been pretty stable, and Angular has learned from its previous mistakes. Also, remember Parse.

2. There is NativeScript which supports Angular 2+ and shortly Vue, and Weex build by Alibaba on top of Vue.
