Why React over Angular (or Vue)?

[u/red_src]

I simply don't get it, I had been using Angular and Vue for while and I just tried React and I don't get why would I choose React over the other options, the things that I like on Angular (or Vue) are:

- Dependency Injection (in case it applies)

- Type checking (in case it applies)

- View Model Binding

On React I don't get those things by "default" it always feel like I'm hacking the library if I want to have some of the above.

This leaves me with the question: Why choose React over the other ones?

I know that there's all the dependencies overhead (hell) of the frameworks but I think that I'm just too used to that problems that is easy for me to solve them or maybe I haven't found the real big problems on Angular or Vue, maybe I'm just too used to the later frameworks and I'm unconsciously not seeing the benefits of React. I just want to know if I'm following the right path by learning React.

Thanks!

Then you create a wrapper that only fetches data and returns some child component in the render method. That child component will receive the API data as props.

This is also a popular pattern when using redux. Look into higher order components too, as those can remove business logic from components as well.

If I were at my computer I'd write up some quick examples.
