Usage

No matter what version you use, application pattern you adopt, or industry sector you belong to, there's no wrong way to use React!

Application Patterns

Despite the focus on static site generation, server-side rendering, and server components, it's interesting to note that the vast majority of React users still work on Single Page Applications.

We asked members of the React community to share their “pick of the year”

My 2023 Pick: Sonner

Sonner is the best toast component for React. Beautiful by default, highly configurable, and with a simple API to use in any project. Wonderful work by Emil.
