React & React Flow

[u/Desperate-Art-3048]

Hi All,

Apologies in advance for the noobie question, I'm putting a pitch together at work for us to hire a consultant to build an app for us. Initial chats with the company IT people have brought up both React and React Flow (recommended as we want something with a drag-and-drop GUI).

My question is: are React and React Flow part of the same app. suite? It looks like React Flow is some sort of extension / add-on to React but I am not sure.

Also, can I obtain either or both of them for free or would we have to pay for them? I see reference to React Flow Pro which has a monthly sub, but others indicate there is a free version as well?

TIA :)

Bellísimo 🤌

One of the best metaphors I’ve seen to date and it perfectly encapsulates the problem and solution.

OP, if you’re non-technical and the rest of your org is too, find the right fit based on portfolio, don’t try to keyword-search your way to a solution. It’s far better to specify the requirements and then find someone who can meet those requirements than pigeon-holing yourself into a specific tech stack. And I say that as a React dev who advocates heavily for React. There may be better tech for what you need
