With Blitz, you can deploy your React application as a single entity and add advanced technologies on your terms and at your own pace
Creating a new React project requires a lot of configuration before you can start coding your application. That’s one of the major reasons why boilerplate libraries such as Create React App exist in the first place. But even with those libraries, there are still a lot of hoops jump through to build a complete web app.
For example, you have to determine what database you’ll use. And what about the server and backend? It’s enough to make you miss the old days of using Rails, where you just download the framework and everything was already there.
If you wish you could have a full-stack, database-backed structure while using React, you might want to check out Blitz.js, a new framework for building monolithic React applications.
Blitz is a React framework that brings back the simplicity and convention of 2000s web frameworks like Rails and Laravel while still enabling you to write JSX syntax and render on the client side. It’s a great framework for small development teams that need to build and ship applications fast.
Let’s run down some of the main benefits of using Blitz.
The Blitz team also plans to add support for React Native and authentication in the future.
Just like Rails, Blitz is used for creating monolithic applications. This means you don’t have to create APIs just to fetch data from your server. You can create APIs later if you encounter third-party software that needs access to your system.
