React to Elm Migration Guide

Redux.js

Elm is a strongly typed functional language, compiler, package manager, and framework. You write in the Elm language, and it compiles to JavaScript for use in the browser. The Elm compiler has 2 basic modes of development, and production. It optionally has a REPL if you want to test some basic code. The package manager uses it’s own website and structure using elm.json, instead of package.json. The framework is what Elm is most known for, and was the inspiration for Redux.

React.run

A popular project, create-react-app, rose in popularity because of it’s ability to handle the compiler toolchain for you. Teams do not have to know about Webpack or JavaScript build targets such as CommonJS, ES6, or ES5. While they don’t have to maintain the core, for cyber security findings or build reasons, you/the team will still have to upgrade more than you might want to. Out of the box you get a simple development environment with the ability to save a file and see it live reload. Tests are setup and ready to go. Finally, a production build with all kinds of optimizations are there. Having 3 simple basic commands of start, test, and build give you all you need to build most apps.

Preact.js

React is a library for ensuring your DOM is in sync with your data. However, one could argue it’s a framework in that it provides many fundamentals needed to build applications. There is enough features that you can adopt, that it is a sliding scale. Just want JSX and variables? Cool. Want a Context to emulate Redux? Cool. Want to swap out the render for something like Preact? Cool.
