Should you use React or Vue?

[View in browser]( [Should you use React or Vue?]( What JavaScript framework you pick in 2020 will help determine how fast you and your team work. A question I get all the time is "should I use React or Vue?" The first answer to this question is learn JavaScript first and then you can take that knowledge to any frontend framework. I have a new [webinar]( where I compare React and Vue. [Check it out here.]( [⚛️ Watch the Webinar]( [🔰 Watch the Webinar]( Let's do a quick exploration of the differences: [Using the CLI]( React has [create-react-app]( and Vue has the [Vue CLI](. Each has a quick way to create new projects. The cool thing on the Vue side is that they also have the Vue UI that lets us create apps from a [GUI](. # react npx create-react-app my-app # vue npm i -g @vue/cli vue create my-app # or with vue's gui vue ui [Templating]( React uses JSX and Vue has its own style of HTML. Each has its own benefits. I truly believe that if you learn JSX, you will become a better JavaScript developer since it's really just JavaScript we're writing to build our templates. On the Vue side, there is a lot of love for Vue using HTML and just adding on special directives like v-if, v-on, v-for, etc. // showing in react {myVariable} // showing in vue // looping in react {people.map(person => // looping in vue [Styling]( React lets us use CSS out of the box. We can easily add Sass, but we have to jump to CSS-in-JS to get scoped styles (styles that apply to only that component). Vue lets us scope styles quickly and easily. We can also add Sass. // adding scoped sass styles in vue [State and Events]( React lets us useState() to create state while we add variables to Vue's data() object. When handling events, React will use an onClick while Vue uses an @click. Overall, state and events are pretty similar in both conceptually. // adding scoped sass styles in vue [State and Events]( React lets us useState() to create state while we add variables to Vue's data() object. When handling events, React will use an onClick while Vue uses an @click. Overall, state and events are pretty similar in both conceptually. // events in react Go! // events in vue Go! Both React and Vue are amazing choices. Lots of developer support, great docs, and third party packages. Picking one or the other all depends on which you and your team are more comfortable with. I recommend building apps with both and seeing which you like. I've got a course on [building 20 React app](s. I'll take those same apps and build them in Vue after I'm done with the React ones. [Check out the webinar also](. Lots of good code comparisons in there. [⚛️ Watch the Webinar]( [🔰 Watch the Webinar]( Thanks thanks thanks for reading! From [Chris on Code]( I've got a React course coming out. [Make 20 React Apps](.
