React
The most popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
React is a declarative, component-based JavaScript library created and maintained by Meta (Facebook). It has become the industry standard for building interactive user interfaces, with over 20 million weekly npm downloads and adoption by companies like Airbnb, Netflix, Instagram, and Discord.
React is the foundation of everything we build at GRADAX. Its component model aligns perfectly with our design system approach, we build reusable, tested components that can be composed into complex interfaces without duplicating code. We pair React with TypeScript for type safety and use React Server Components for optimal performance.
What we use it for
- Single-page applications (SPAs)
- Complex interactive dashboards
- Real-time data visualization
- Mobile apps via React Native
- Design system component libraries
- Micro-frontend architectures
What it gives us
- Component-Based ArchitectureBuild encapsulated, reusable components that manage their own state and compose into complex UIs.
- Virtual DOMEfficiently updates only the changed parts of the UI, delivering smooth performance even with frequent state changes.
- Hooks APIModern API for state management, side effects, and reusable logic without class components.
- Server ComponentsRender components on the server to reduce client-side JavaScript and improve initial page load times.
- Massive EcosystemAccess thousands of production-ready libraries, tools, and community resources for any use case.
