JavaScript Frameworks have been taking the web by storm for years and ReactJS has become a clear frontrunner. With React, you can implement fast, slick, interactive web components without excessive complexity.

Additionally, ReactJS is the perfect fit for Drupal - the JavaScript initiative team is already working on building a ReactJS app for Drupal Core. Wouldn't it be cool to join their initiative and help them modernize Drupal's administrator UI with React? We can show you how.

Key Benefits of React w/Drupal Include:

  • Faster rendering when responding to user interactions
  • Easier development for more complex apps
  • Friendlier JS syntax (similar to SASS for CSS)
  • Fewer clicks
  • Fewer page reloads
  • and more!
