By: BrainStudioz

React is a lightweight JavaScript library created by Facebook that has become very popular in recent years. It allows you to create beautiful user interfaces for your web applications using isolated and reusable building blocks called components.

React also has a huge ecosystem created mainly by external developers, which includes several tools, component libraries, IDE, extensions for code editors and web browsers, boiler plates and more. In this article, we have compiled the 20 best tools and resources for both beginners and experienced React developers.

01. REACTED

Reagent is a dedicated IDE (integrated development environment) for the development of React applications. It is a cross-platform tool that allows you to process React components without any server or compilation settings. Reagent runs an integrated Node server and a custom browser simulator. It also makes it possible to visualize the state flow.

02. REACT THE STUDY

React Studio is a great tool if you are a designer who wants to create React applications without any coding knowledge. It is a visual design tool that allows you to create React components and application flows based on your designs. React Studio also has built-in drawing tools, a mobile viewer and even allows you to import your files from Sketch.

03. THE CREATE REACTING FACEBOOK APPLICATION

Create React Apt takes some time to configure an environment for a new React project with all the requirements. To help developers, Facebook launched its Create React application project on GitHub. It is a single command line tool with which you can quickly get a new React application running. It provides you with a frontend compilation channel, configures a developer environment and optimizes your application for production. It works with zero configuration and you can use it with any back-end language.

04. STORY BOOK

Storybook is an IU development environment for React components, used in production by companies such as Coursera, Squarespace and Lonely Planet. It allows you to develop and test react components interactively and you can also create your own component library. With Storybook, you can see the different states of each component and develop it in isolation from your application, which results in better reuse.

05. REACT STIGUISTA

React STYLEGUIDIST is another interactive environment for the isolated development of React components. It allows you to concentrate on the construction of one component at a time, but it also comes with a hot dev server that allows you to see all your components in one place. It works immediately with the Create React application mentioned above and is also compatible with ES6, Flow and Typescript.

06. REACT DEVELOPER TOOLS FOR CHROME

React Developer Tools is an extension of Google Chrome created by the Facebook team. It allows you to inspect the hierarchy of React components within your browser, including components and status. The extension adds a new tab called "React" to Chrome DevTools and you can see how changes to a component affect other components to help you design an appropriate component structure.

07. REACTING DEVELOPING TOOLS FOR FIREFOX

Facebook also launched the React Developer Tools as an extension for Firefox. It has the same functionality as the Chrome extension mentioned above. After installing it, you can get access to the React tools within your Firefox Developer Tools in the new "React" tab.

08. REACTION THE VIEW

React Sight is a React visualization tool that provides you with the visual representation of the structure of your React application. Requires the React development tools mentioned above for Chrome.

09. REACTION COSMOS

React Cosmos is a development tool that helps you build reusable React components. Scans your React projects for components and allows you to render them with any combination of properties, context and status. React Cosmos also allows you to simulate any external dependency, such as API responses or local storage, so you can see the status of your application in real time.

10. CODE BOX TO REACT

Code Sandbox is an online code editor and a live gaming area created and adjusted specifically for the development of web applications. AND the purpose of the tool is to allow developers to start creating React applications in their browsers within a security space available through a single URL.
