Okay. I created a sample React app which has a live text analyzer.
I think building the components within Javascript is cool, and would be up for doing that more.
Communication between components is crazy messy though. Maybe I am not doing it correctly, but even the documentation was confusing. In order to bind two components to listen and use a data element, I had to use vanilla Javascript event listeners and dispatchers… Really?
Bottom line
- Building app structure/markup in Javascript is a great idea.
- Breaking down your app into simple testable components is wonderful
- Component communication is down right confusing
