React Team Launches New React.dev Site for React Documentation
The React team has launched a new website, react.dev, which is now the new home for React and its documentation. The new site is packed with diagrams, illustrations, and over 600 new interactive examples, making it an even better resource for those learning React.
React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. With the new site, React is now being taught with hooks from the beginning, whereas the old documentation assumed that the reader was already familiar with class components. This made it challenging for new readers to learn React twice, once with class components and then again with hooks. With the new docs, viewers can now learn React the way it's meant to be learned.
However, one surprising thing about the new site is that the "Starting a New Project" section has no mention of Create React App, a popular tool for creating React applications. While the last published date was almost a year ago, and there has been quite a bit of discussion around this topic, it was unexpected that Create React App was not mentioned at all. The docs recommend frameworks, but some developers may prefer to use Create React App instead.
The launch of the new react.dev site is a significant update for the React community, and it is sure to be a valuable resource for React developers of all levels. Developers can now learn React with hooks from the beginning, and the new site's interactive examples and illustrations will be a great aid to visual learners. The React team has done an excellent job with this update, and the new site is now the go-to place for all things React.
