Solid UI React
React SDK using @inrupt/solid-client
Overview
The Solid React SDK v2, encapsulated in the solid-ui-react library, is crafted to facilitate development in the Solid ecosystem. Although currently in beta, it serves as a promising resource for developers aiming to create seamless browser-based applications that leverage Solid's unique capabilities. Its design focuses on simplicity and flexibility, allowing for customization that aligns with various project requirements. However, users should be cautious, as the project is deprecated and will not receive future updates or security patches.
Despite this warning, the library offers a range of components and features that can significantly ease the development process for those working within the Solid environment. Incorporating the Inrupt JavaScript Client Libraries for authentication and data handling, solid-ui-react is built with TypeScript, ensuring type safety across components.
Features
- Authentication Components: Easily implement login and logout functionalities with components designed for smooth integration with identity providers.
- Data Components: Access and manipulate individual data properties effortlessly, including options for sortable and filterable table views.
- Context Providers and Hooks: Streamline your development process with context providers and hooks intended for functional programming scenarios.
- TypeScript Support: Built with TypeScript, enhancing type safety and improving code quality across your applications.
- Live Reloading Storybook: Quickly view and test component changes in a live-reloading Storybook environment to facilitate rapid development.
- Community Engagement: Access to the Solid Community Forum allows developers to connect, share projects, and seek assistance from peers.
- Development Guidelines: Follow the Inrupt Coding Guidelines to maintain code quality and consistency throughout your development efforts.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Solid
SolidJS is a declarative JavaScript library for building user interfaces, offering a reactive programming model for efficient updates. It stands out for its reactivity system that minimizes unnecessary re-renders and its small bundle size, making it a performant choice for developing lightweight and reactive web applications.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
