O que você precisa saber sobre o React antes de usá-lo em seu negócio

What you need to know about React before using it in your business

June 1, 2024 Roberto Magalhães

If your company is looking to build a new, dynamic and modern website, React should be on your radar.

Without React, your site will use old HTML to update its DOM. This works well for smaller static pages on simple websites. But when a website becomes dynamic, larger and more complex, using HTML to update a DOM becomes problematic. Why? Because in this way the DOM must be reloaded every time a user clicks on an element that requires the site to be reloaded.

This is a recipe for slow page loads.

Now, what's so special about the way React handles this? React uses a virtual DOM, which is a copy of the website's original DOM. React uses the copy and compares it to the real DOM to see what should change when a user clicks on an element. React is then able to update only the part of the DOM that has changed.

This updating method is exponentially more efficient than working with a website's DOM in the traditional way. Using a virtual DOM requires much less computing power, which translates into faster load times. And when you have hundreds or thousands of users on a website, the traditional method of dealing with the DOM can harm your website.

Before adopting React, it's also important that you have developers with certain skill sets. To successfully implement React into your development pipeline, you will need software engineers who are proficient in:

HTML and CSC
JavaScript and ES6
JSX (JavascriptXML) and Babel
Node and NPM
Git and the command-line interface

Conclusion

If your company is looking to build a new, dynamic and modern website, React should be on your radar. With this JavaScript library, your developers can create websites that are efficient, powerful, and include user interfaces that can meet today's modern aesthetic demands.
