- UI rendering
- State management
- Component lifecycle
- Event handling
- Data flow
- JSX templating
In that sense React truly is a comprehensive UI framework, not a single-purpose library. Counter-examples of "do one thing well" are Lodash and Axios.
I’m willing to hear arguments about the merits of how React approaches these issues, but I would want any frontend UI library for generating and updating DOM trees to address them in some way.
It’s only true feature is the view = func(state), everything else should be outsourced to something else.
To anyone reading, mobx is a more generic tool for any type of state management.
And starfx seems like a data fetching + holding state and providing hooks for that data kind of library. Very unique and looks someone cared to make something nice for that kind of problem
