React libraries that every developer should know.

-
That’s exactly why we’ll be going over the top seven React libraries that every developer should know.

1. Lodash

Lodash makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays, numbers, objects, and strings. With over 40k stars on GitHub, Lodash is a popular library. According to its website, Lodash is a modern JavaScript utility library that delivers modularity, performance, and extras.
Even though Lodash is not a specific React library, it is one of my personal favorite libraries to use because of how elegant it is. I’d highly recommend you checking out Lodash.

2. React Bootstrap

The React Bootstrap library is exactly what the name describes: Bootstrap components built with React. Bootstrap is an open-source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. Bootstrap is the world’s most popular front-end component library.
What is great about React Bootstrap is that it replaces the old Bootstrap JavaScript. Each component in this library has been built from scratch as a true React component, without unneeded dependencies like jQuery.
As one of the oldest React libraries, React Bootstrap has evolved and grown alongside React, making it a great choice as your UI foundation.

3. React-i18next

If you need a multilanguage application, then you’ll definitely need the React-18next library. React-i18next is a powerful internationalization framework for React based on i18next. It provides you with a complete solution to localize your product from web to mobile and desktop.
The i18next library has translation functionalities like plurals, formatting, and interpolation. And on top of that, this library is suited for server-side rendering.

4. React DnD

React DnD (drag and drop) helps you build complex drag-and-drop interfaces while keeping your components decoupled. Unlike most of the other great drag-and-drop libraries, React DnD is built on top of the modern HTML5 drag-and-drop API.
This library is focused on getting the drag-and-drop interaction right, leaving its visual aspects to you.
In the past this library had one major downside — touchscreens were not supported. If you want touch support, you could use the React DnD with the touch back end instead of the HTML5 back end.

5. Material UI

Who hasn’t heard of Google’s Material design? Material UI is a library that contains a set of components that implement the famous Material Design.
With over 50k stars on GitHub, the Material UI library absolutely has to be on this list. It’s the most popular React UI package at the moment. And it’s been around for some years now. This library is easy to implement and the components are eye-catching and user-friendly.
This library has way too many components to list them all right here, so I suggest you check out Material UI itself.

6. React Spinners

There is no space any longer for boring spinners in your applications. React spinners is a library that offers a wide variety of fancy spinners. The properties of these spinners can be tweaked so you can fully customize the spinners the way you want.
This is a small library that has about 1k stars on GitHub, but it could give your application a real boost in terms of UX.

7. Enzyme

Enzyme is a JavaScript testing utility created to test the output of React components. It was created by the Airbnb engineering team and released as an open-source in 2015. The API of Enzyme is meant to be intuitive and flexible. This library should make it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse the output of React components.
Enzyme can be run with a wide variety of test runners like Mocha, Jest, Karma.
If you’re new to testing React components I would highly suggest you go check Enzyme.

JavaScript prototype,,😊

This article is about JavaScript prototypes which confused me for a long time. In this article, I will explain JavaScript prototypes by following the outline below: What is JavaScript prototype How does it work __proto__ and prototype Examples What is the difference between using a prototype and no prototype Performance issues What is JavaScript Prototype Unlike many other object-oriented languages, JavaScript uses prototypes to share funcitonality with other objects— what does this mean? Prototypes are the mechanism by which JavaScript objects inherit features from one another. They share data and methods defined in a root prototype object. More simple is that all JavaScript objects inherit properties and methods from a prototype object. How does it work In my view, everything in JavaScript is an object . Functions are an   object . Strings, Boolean, and Number are   objects   (they are primitives wrapped in objects which provide functionality suc...
