How can you find & hire talented React developers?

ReactJS is a JavaScript framework, designed for creating UIs. Originally developed by Facebook, it is now used by thousands of companies, all around the globe.

React is a powerful tool and can be used to develop single-page and mobile applications. Its goal is to provide high speeds, simplicity, and scalability. React is often used in conjunction with Redux, a library for developing user interfaces. Evrone uses React to develop a major portion of our web apps.

Why do we choose React?

We often choose to use React JS because of its advantages and valuable features, including:

• Reusable components - React’s entire structure is component-based. Checkboxes, buttons, drop-downs, etc. can be wrapped in another component and used a whole. Each component structure can then be wrapped in another component, then another, and so on, until it reaches the root component: the app itself.
• React Native - Created five years ago by Facebook, this lib enables native Android, iOS, and UWP development with React. When it was introduced, it revolutionized the development of applications for smartphones and tablets.
• JSX - React uses JSX instead of “ordinary” JS. JSX is a “syntax sugar” for JavaScript. It makes JavaScript look like an HTML, while remaining a powerful programming language.
• Performance - Because of their “Native” nature, React apps can be extremely fast and high-performing.
• Testability - It’s very easy to test React apps. React views can be treated as functions of the state, so we can manipulate with the state we pass to the ReactJS view and examine the output and triggered actions, events, functions, etc.
   

Who uses React?

React is a powerful, handy tool and was developed, supported, and promoted by Facebook, one of the world’s largest IT companies. So, it has a massive number of users. Over 8000 companies use ReactJS technology, including Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, Instagram, Pinterest, Medium, Twitter, New York Times, Yahoo, Dropbox, WhatsApp, Adobe, and many, many more.

Is it difficult to find a good React developer?

You're probably thinking it will be easy to hire React programmers, since React is such a popular technology. The problem is, there are quite a few people on the market that consider themself to be React developers, but they lack the skills and expertise your project needs. Finding a truly skilled engineer can be a complicated task. You’ll likely receive a massive number of resumes that you will have to weed through looking for candidates who are actually qualified.

You may spend months trying to hire a ReactJS developer, and, unfortunately, just one developer won’t do the trick. Your project will need the support of an entire team, and it will be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to hire a React development team. In addition to the stress of finding the right candidates, you’ll also be on the hook for extra office space, multiple salaries, and increased taxes. When this is all said and done, there’s still no way to be sure that the individual developers will work well together as a team. You may put in all the work and pay the extra expenses, and, in the end, still not see any real results.

Which skills should a React developer have?

When you hire a React JS developer, you’ll need to make sure that they have a good React developer’s skill set. React is a part of JavaScript, so a mastery of JS is a must. However, ReactJS has its own features and specifications, so a thorough understanding of React itself and its core paradigms is also necessary. A good React developer should also have experience with popular ReactJS frameworks, such as Flux and Redux. Knowledge of RESTful APIs is needed, as well. Finally, React is a frontend tool, so your developer should have experience with popular FE tools, like NPM, Webpack, and Babel.

Now, let’s get familiar with the React toolkit. It includes:

• React Developer Tools - a Google Chrome extension that adds the “Components” and “Profiler” tabs to the code page of any website, which can be viewed through “View page source.”
  Bit - a CLI tool and online platform where you can both publish your
• React components (after they’ve been isolated by Bit) and share them with others.
• Storybook - an online UI editor that allows you to develop, inspect, and showcase your UI creations in an interactive manner.
• React Styleguideist - another tool that can be used to create UI components.
• React Bootstrap - a React version of the popular CSS framework.
