Ask HN: How do you use React as a library in 2024?

by blacksoil on 5/10/2024, 1:00:28 AM with 3 comments
Hi all, With most of the current trend being to use React as a framework (e.g. NextJS), is there anyone here who still uses React as a library? If so, how is your setup?

I'm asking this is because I want to go back to MVC, but I don't want to miss out on the nice libraries out there built for React. Hence I want to combine MVC + React as a library.

    Can you clarify some terms here?

    - What do you mean by "React as a library"? Using it as a pure SPA with a bundler like Vite? Using it as a plain `<script>` tag?

    - What do you mean by "go back to MVC"? What does "MVC" mean specifically in this case?
