[image] Best Practice / Resources for Blade @kalenjohnson , one specific question I’ve been wondering is, “couldn’t I do all of this stuff with React?”. What would be the pros/cons of Blade vs. React? Let’s have this discussion in a new thread then. :smiley: So I’ve just begun trying out Sage …

I understand why Blade vs React is a strange question because they’re seemingly very different. The reason I asked it was because they have a similar concept of building components and temptlating while cleaning up the base code. As far as React goes, I was all for them a couple years ago but with …

The html could easily be identical now with React 16 I believe. No unnecessary wrappers needed anymore and you could probably even use blade/php as server side rendering, then hydrate the app and let react take over when it has loaded in the browser. I guess this was always possible but should be ea…

Not trying to be rude here, but to state the obvious: Blade is a PHP templating engine. React is a “JavaScript library for building user interfaces”. Considering that WordPress is a PHP based CMS which lacks a real templating engine… well Blade is a perfect fit. React is not. Of course any kind of…
