ALL NEW UI ELEMENTSWERE WRITTEN WITH REACT

ANY TIME WE CHANGED OLD UI ELEMENTS,WE PORTED TO REACT

AT FIRST WE CONTINUED TO USE JQUERY + PLUGINS AS BEFORE

RESULTING IN LOTS AND LOTS OFComponentDidMount / componentDidUpdate

IT SLOWED US DOWN,AND RESULTED IN COMPLEX COMPONENTS

WE EXPERIENCED PAIN

WE STARTED TO DROP PLUGINS

SHIMS REPLACED CONVENIENTJQUERY METHODS

BOOTSTRAP JQUERY PLUGINSWERE IMPLEMENTED IN REACT

BEFORE WE KNEW IT:

THE RESULTS:

REDUCED SIZE ON SCRIPT FILES1.8 MB TO 650 KB (UNCOMPRESSED)

MUCH LESS CODE TO MAINTAIN!

NO CATCH-ALL OVERLY GENERIC PLUGINS

SMALLER, SIMPLER COMPONENTS

RICH UI GOT EASIER TO CREATEBY REUSING SMALLER COMPONENTS

HAPPIER DEVELOPERS!
