-
kind of surprised the @reactjs homepage still shows Class components as the intro to React reactjs.org/
-
Even the Main Concepts still deal almost exclusively with Class components reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html
-
Hooks isn't introduced until after the Main Concepts, Advanced Guides, and API Docs... wild! reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html
-
The docs appear written for someone who has watched the React ecosystem evolve over many years, not for someone new to the framework
-
which is totally fine if that's what they are going for! it was just quite surprising to me today when i went looking for info on the latest React 18 changes
-
Having sat through multiple interviews though (on both sides of the interview), I definitely get the feeling companies are not looking for people with intense React Class component authoring skills
-
It's like if the @angular docs waited until after the full angularjs.org/ to start mentioning angular.io/ 🤔
