Question for HN: I'm a systems developer and want to play a bit with frontend development (writing frontends for custom tools I built). What framework + feature-complete component library is recommended in 2017? React? Vue? Polymer? Plain JS with intercooler.js? I feel a bit overwhelmed.

I would suggest Polymer. Web Standards based - has comprehensive library of elements and polymer itself is a tiny library. I've had very good experience with it - if you know html/JS you will feel at home. As for being "feature complete" - it has probably best implementation of material design elements and you can find a ton of other element on https://www.webcomponents.org/ . It is also interoperable with other solu…

Polymer works very well for it's use case, but it is very difficult to make it work with tools like webpack. It ends up requiring what feels like a lot of hacks. SystemJS seems to be a bit easier to work with since there is a plugin for requiring the necessary HTML files.

Polymer 2.0 looks to be much better.

I have actually tried to use this to build an enterprise application. Here is what we found. * Most of the components they provide are very basic and does not actually require them to provide it. Couple of lines of wrapper on any CSS framework like bootstrap can make half of those components. * Most of the advanced components like DataGrid, DropDown Menus, etc are aither not available or buggy. You will get better su…

Did you use any library for example form validation, or did you do that on you own?

We implemented our own. We don't need more than 10 different type of fields. So basically it will take couple of hours to create those base components to our requirements.

The main lession I learned in JS world is, when the requirement is small, better write it from scratch using code we find on net. Trying to integrate different incompatible libraries will just waste our time.

What does "eleme.io" even mean? How sad of state are we that everyone feels compelled to use these nonsense "io", "me", "to", etc. domains just because they are "hip".

It means the domain squatters own just about every single word of every TLD at this point.

I've been using Vue for a similar purpose this last week or two and I've found it very simple and easy to follow. I'd recommend that.

What component library to use?

Terrible domain name, no doubt. However, I like that these alternative TLD's are becoming somewhat acceptable now. Finding an unused .com domain for a new business can be really hard(/expensive). For example, I would much rather buy dropbox.io than getdropbox.com. Or maybe even drop.box?

I love how comprehensive the set of components is - trees, tables with lots of options, sliders, date and time pickers with range support, carousels... I was going to give Vue.js a try for my next project anyway, so I'll be giving serious consideration to using this instead of my default choice (Bootstrap).

Ah, I hadn't noticed that it's touted for desktop apps... and isn't responsive. Might give it a miss then..

Polymer elements are "normal" elements so yeah you should be able to do so unless vue does something weird.

https://github.com/vuejs/vue-element - this might give some hints.
