Most of the applications and sites we use today are bound to show location and various data on maps. Maps are used everywhere: from food delivery sites to online stores and complex applications for logistics companies. Maps are used very widely in web design, and when presenting data, we usually expect them to be interactive. It can be the branches of an international company, statistics about countries or just destinations to visualize. Maps that are pre-arranged help people find your business without having to spend time looking for your physical location manually. One way or another, while developing another application you will definitely face the questions of working with maps. What tools should you use? Paid or open-source? Standalone or web-based? Many different plugins and libraries that you will find on our list are built specifically to make it easy for people to find your business. But Google Maps isn’t the only solution. Firstly, it does not provide too many customization options, such as custom marking and adding extra widgets to make your maps more interactive. Other than that, you might need maps specifically for contests, exploration, traveling, hiking, and much more. That’s why you may need open-source solutions. In this article-comparison we will talk about different types of javascript tools for working with maps. We’ll look at the types of tools you can choose from, as well as the comparison options. Classification of javascript solution for maps Due to a large number of different tools for working with maps, it would be good to categorize them to give a definition of each category. In this article, the categories for Web mapping clients have been extracted from the projects’ descriptions. Thus, there are libraries, wrappers, toolkits, frameworks, and clients. Libraries: Expose classes and functions allowing to build applications at a higher level of programming;Wrappers: act as an interface between its caller and the wrapped code;Toolkits: more modular and easily integrated into a custom application;Frameworks: A reusable software template, or skeleton, from which key enabling and supporting services can be selected, configured and integrated with application code;Clients: ready-to-use Web mapping applications.This way of categorizing Web mapping clients provides a first approach for distinguishing them, so you could select more easily. The comparison The comparison is presented in three parts to facilitate the reading: General description: Gives an introduction to each project.Technical features: Presents some technical data on each project.Links of interest: Includes a screenshot showing how the client looks like as well as links to useful pages and live demos.How to choose the right solution? So, which mapping framework should you choose? It depends on what features you need and how much you want to customize your map.  In this section, we will take 2 products as a base for questions on how to choose a tool for work with maps. These are Google Maps and Leaflet – the most popular tools that reflect the 2 types of solutions to the question of choosing a tool for working with maps.Most users will be well served by simply choosing one of these two. First of all, you need to start with a question – Do I Even Need A Mapping Framework? If you need something set up quickly, have no custom data and default map themes are OK for you – simply use an embedded map like the Bing one to the left. Google, Bing and others offer options to embed a map. Either of these choices (embedding or using a plugin) will meet only the most basic of mapping needs. If your use case fits within what they offer, then I encourage you to use them. When your mapping needs get more complex, you will need to switch to using an actual mapping framework. When you choose the tool for maps apart of the technical classification, you will have to choose from Paid or Open-source solutions. Both paid and open-source ones are good and reliable mapping frameworks and there are a lot of good things they can do. Choosing between the two types will require consideration of several factors. The Google Maps API is created and maintained by Google. All updates, improvements and rules regarding its use come from Google. All free tier implementations must be publicly available – intranet usage and maps behind a paywall require a premium plan. Leaflet is an Open Source project, like WordPress, and there are fewer restrictions on its use. You can use it behind a paywall or on an intranet, use it for unlimited map views (though your base map provider may have its own limitations), remove or customize the branding and more. Let’s move to the next question you will ask when choosing the solution for your business. Releases and Upgrades Since Google controls the Google Maps API, they determine the release schedule and when new features are added. They also determine when older versions of the code will be retired. For the most part it’s a good thing. It means most websites will be using the same version of the API and that developers using the Google Maps API will be familiar with exactly what options are available. With Leaflet, upgrades are more frequent and incremental, new releases are made as new features are available. The plugin updates are also independent of the map updates, so additional improvements may come through those channels too. Or, if you’ve got a Leaflet map you’re happy with, you can copy the map code to your own server and keep using an older version for as long as you want – you aren’t forced to upgrade. Support Options If you’re using the free tier of Google Maps, then you could check out their community support site. If you are a paid plan Google Maps API user, you will have other support options available to you, including a hotline you can call. For Leaflet, there is active community support on StackExchange, StackOverflow and on GitHub, where the project code is hosted. Tools and libraries for maps Some of these map tools can really reduce the amount of effort needed to produce interactive maps. Many of these tools allow you to implement all kinds of dynamic maps with just a few lines of code. Here are the JS libraries you can use to show special map markers, draw custom route lines or even show a dialog when you hover or click on certain points of the map. Personalize your maps in the style that you want – some of them can be styled with CSS – or customize your map to be as interactive as you like. The source of the map data, dependencies and licenses of each library have been included for your convenience. For this roundup, we have chosen some of the Best JavaScript Libraries for creating interactive maps for your web applications. The following libraries provide a myriad of functions and features that help developers to create complex maps easily and quickly.

Zeemaps Web-site: https://www.zeemaps.com/ GitHub stars: – Pricing: Free, from $19.95 per month Map Data Source: – Dependencies: None License: Zeemaps copyright Category: Web Application Examples: https://www.zeemaps.com/mobile?group=1971477 ZeeMaps ZeeMaps is an enterprise-class mapping service that allows you to easily create, publish and share interactive maps. You can construct dynamic visualizations of geographic information, producing maps from your list of people or places. For example, you can create a map of places you have visited, or maps that mark the addresses of your customers, sales leads, friends and relatives. All maps are stored on their own servers and can be instantly accessed at any time, anywhere, from any standard Web browser on a computer or mobile device. All maps can be crowdsourced for additions. That makes it a very reliable platform to use between groups of people. Other features also include grids, icons, markers and custom fields. This is a tool that is tailored for specific types of interactive maps – it is wonderful at letting you create, publish and share maps for presentation or geoanalysis. It offers the kind of features that most others on the list do. In addition, it makes it easier for you to get inputs for the map from different sources and set up 3-level access for the maps. Anymap by Anychart Web-site: https://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/overview/ GitHub stars: – Pricing: From $79 Map Data Source: Anychart Dependencies: None License: Anycharts copyright Category: Library Examples: https://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/gallery/ AnyMap AnyMap is one of popular JavaScript (HTML5) charting libraries created by AnyChart. Just like amMap, it requires no big efforts to build a map using it as well as no external resources or third-party libraries such as jQuery. AnyMap also supports all basic types of maps you might need – choropleth, bubble, dot, connector and flow maps. The list of key interactive features of AnyMap includes drill-down for region-specific insights, events model for processing map viewer actions, and color scale for automatically coloring a map according to your settings instead of doing that manually. Highmaps by Highcharts Web-site: https://www.highcharts.com/products/highmaps/ GitHub stars: 8999, https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts Pricing: Free and paid (From $390) Map Data Source: Highcharts Dependencies: jQuery License: Highcharts copyright Category: Library Examples: https://www.highcharts.com/maps/demo HighMaps Highmaps library is the younger sister of Highcharts and Highstock, popular charting libraries developed by Norway’s Highsoft. Its core advantages are the open source nature with all its pros, light weight which ensures high rendering performance, and a vast set of interactive features such as drill down and others. Among the map types supported in Highmaps are choropleth and bubble maps. It is also possible to draw lines to depict a road, a river, or a connector. However, making flow maps is not as simple as with amMap or AnyMap, for example. It is also worth noting that neither Highcharts nor Highmaps can work without jQuery, so you must have this dependency if you want to use them or choose another charting library. A good thing is that Highmaps offer multiple ready-to-use maps in both SVG and GeoJSON. The documentation is quite extensive and is great at helping you understand the library’s settings quite quickly and easily. Cesium Web-site: https://cesiumjs.org/ GitHub stars: 4941, https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium Pricing: Free Map Data Source: Cesium Dependencies: None License: Apache License 2.0 Category: Library Examples: https://cesiumjs.org/demos/ Cesium Cesium, a WebGL-powered JavaScript mapping library, offers just that by being provider-agnostic. It has support for 3 different views: 3D globe, 2D map, and 2.5D Columbus View. It works across different platforms and different browsers: you don’t have to worry about compatibility. Polymaps Web-site: http://polymaps.org/ GitHub stars: 1533, https://github.com/simplegeo/polymaps Pricing: Free Map Data Source: OSM, Bing Dependencies: None License: SimpleGeo and Stamen copyright Category: Library Examples: http://polymaps.org/ex/ Polymaps Polymaps is a free JavaScript library for creating dynamic and interactive maps. Besides the usual cartography from OpenStreetMap, CloudMade, Bing, etc., it works with image-based and vector-tiled maps by providing a quick display of multi-zoom datasets over maps and supports a variety of visual presentations. Its main strength is making it very easy to composite raster and vector data from many different sources. It can meet all your requirements, particularly in letting you easily add your own coloring, grouping and interaction. Polymaps is also quite efficient: it runs quickly, it manages background tile loading well, and it’s only 30k of Javascript. The nice thing about using SVG (scalable vector graphics) for creating maps is that it means that many of the same styling options which can be applied to web documents with CSS will also work with your map design. As Polymaps can load data at a full range of scales, it’s a good fit for showing information from a country level on down to states, cities, neighborhoods and individual streets. Mapael Web-site: https://www.vincentbroute.fr/mapael/ GitHub stars: 922, https://github.com/neveldo/jQuery-Mapael Pricing: Free Map Data Source: Raphael.js Dependencies: jQuery License: MIT License Category: Library Examples: https://www.vincentbroute.fr/mapael/ Mapael jQuery Mapael allows you to create maps with elegant data visualization as well as interactivity. You can, for example, create a map and designate each region on the map with different colors based on region. You can also add tooltip on the region, as well as event handlers like click or hover. The map is built with SEO in mind by providing alternate content for search engine robots that are not capable of crawling JavaScript-generated content. Mapael offers a collection of maps on its own repository. Documentation and API descriptions are combined in one article, but despite this you can easily get started with this library just by reading this detailed tutorial. Conclusion According to Google Trends 3, the most popular tools for working with Maps are Leaflet, Google Maps API and Mapbox. You can see the big gap on search queries with Bing Maps API and Openlayers, these also being quite popular. Javascript Tools for mapping All the free libraries we mentioned do a good job of building interactive maps. All the APIs are capable of producing great online mapping systems, but your choice should also fit in with you or your company’s future development needs. For example, using any commercial API leaves you at the mercy of whatever changes the provider will make to the API or Terms of Service. On the other hand, using an open-source engine and the ability to switch providers anytime offers more freedom + flexibility, but it takes a lot of effort to build such systems. We believe in using the right tool for the job. Leaflet or the Google Maps API will work well for most use cases, but there are situations that call for other tools.  For non-GIS background developers creating single-function mapping apps we will recommend Leaflet (now supported by MapBox). It’s small and easy to use. More functionality relies on plugins of varying quality and support. Lastly, if your maps are more design and user interaction oriented, you might want to consider using D3, a JavaScript animation library that can also do some types of mapping. Thanks for reading this, and I do hope you find the article helpful. P.S. We have also prepared a comparison table for a better view.  LeafletjsOpenlayersMapboxGoogle Maps APIDatamapsJvectormapBing MapsAmcharts Map ChartKartographArcGISZeemapsAnymap by AnychartHighmaps by HighchartsCesiumPolymapsMapael Official Web-sitehttps://leafletjs.com/https://openlayers.org/https://www.mapbox.com/https://developers.google.com/maps/documentationhttps://datamaps.github.io/http://jvectormap.com/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/choose-your-bing-maps-apihttp://www.amcharts.com/javascript-maps/http://kartograph.org/https://developers.arcgis.com/https://www.zeemaps.com/https://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/overview/https://www.highcharts.com/products/highmaps/https://cesiumjs.org/http://polymaps.org/https://www.vincentbroute.fr/mapael/ GitHub stars25807, https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/5517, https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers4845, https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js-3245, https://github.com/markmarkoh/datamaps---1519, https://github.com/kartograph/kartograph.js---8999, https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts4941, https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium1533, https://github.com/simplegeo/polymaps922, https://github.com/neveldo/jQuery-Mapael PricingFreeFreeFree, starts from $4 for 1000 loadsFree, starts from $14 for 14000 loads in static mapsFreeFrom $39Free, custom (on request)Free, from $180FreeFree, from $125 monthlyFree, from $19.95 per monthFrom $79Free and paid (From $390)FreeFreeFree Map Data SourceOpenStreetMapOpenStreetMapMapboxGoogleD3.jsjVectorMapBing MapsamChartsKartographEsri-AnychartHighchartsCesiumOSM, BingRaphael.js DependenciesNoneNoneNoneNoneD3.js and TopoJSONjQueryNoneNoneKartograph.py, Raphael, and jQueryNoneNoneNonejQueryNoneNonejQuery LicenseBSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License2-Clause BSDMapbox copyrightGoogle copyrightMIT LicenseGNU GPL, paidMicrosoft copyrightAmcharts copyrightAGPL and LGPLEsri copyrightZeemaps copyrightAnycharts copyrightHighcharts copyrightApache License 2.0SimpleGeo and Stamen copyrightMIT License CategoryLibraryLibraryWeb ApplicationWeb ApplicationLibraryLibraryWeb ApplicationLibraryFrameworkFrameworkWeb ApplicationLibraryLibraryLibraryLibraryLibrary Examples/Demohttps://leafletjs.com/examples.htmlhttps://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/examples/https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/exampleshttps://datamaps.github.io/http://jvectormap.com/examples/world-gdp/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/v8-web-control/indexhttps://www.amcharts.com/demos/#mapshttp://kartograph.org/showcase/https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jssamples/https://www.zeemaps.com/mobile?group=1971477https://www.anychart.com/products/anymap/gallery/https://www.highcharts.com/maps/demohttps://cesiumjs.org/demos/http://polymaps.org/ex/https://www.vincentbroute.fr/mapael/ About Flatlogic At Flatlogic we develop admin dashboard templates and React Native templates.

An overview on development of Video Consultation Healthcare App in React Native Using Twilio
Tumblr media
Since the introduction of mHealth apps, healthcare organizations have witnessed a sea-change in the way patients relate to doctors. Now the patients have more control over their medical decisions and the overall system has become more patient-centric. Owing to this, a variety of mHealth apps have emerged in the market and a video consultation healthcare app is one such innovation. This app enables the patients and doctors to communicate instantly in case of an emergency or when it is not possible to visit the hospital. The doctors can send ePrescriptions online and provide medical assistance. So, having a video calling app can always be a lucrative decision for any medical body or even an individual practitioner.
So, today’s topic is about creating a video consultation healthcare app. We will consider the React Native framework for this purpose since React Native development services are a perfect pick for developing native-like cross-platform apps. Also, we will talk about Twilio as a cloud communications platform that is being widely used in video calling apps. Let’s get started with what Twilio is and then the process to create the app.
What is Twilio?
Twilio is an American cloud-based service or cloud communications platform as a service (CPaaS). It acts as a powerful communication tool and bridges the gap between various mobile devices, other systems, services, etc. and telephony. In React Native development, APIs offered by Twilio enables the developers to implement several communication services like making and receiving audio/video phone calls, sending and receiving text messages, etc. These services also include AI bots, emails, etc. In this process, in addition to audio/video calling, other features like account recovery, phone verification, in-app calls or in-app chats, etc. can also be worked upon.
To integrate Twilio in the app, React Native developer will need existing knowledge on Cocoapods, React Native Navigation, React, etc. Twilio
Here are a few top benefits of using Twilio
Twilio is quite easy to learn and so, there are a plethora of developers available.
It follows a standard method of communication: HTTP.
Switching between technologies is also much easier.
Owing to Platforms as a Service (PaaS), capital costs are somewhat lower. Even the deployment costs are lower and they increase gradually as the company grows.
Step for Creating a Video calling Healthcare React Native app using Twilio WebRTC
While using Twilio WebRTC for the healthcare video calling app, a React Native app development company should follow the step-by-step procedure as given below. This procedure is divided into two major parts where the first part is about generating a token using Twilio and the second part talks about installing dependencies using a React Native starter kit. Also, we will consider a React Native Android app for now. So let’s get started with the first part.
Part 1: Token Generation with Twilio
Twilio provides both IOS/Android SDKs and JavaScript. But for React Native, Twilio does not provide any direct support. So, the React Native developers can use the JavaScript SDK for a few services but this isn’t possible for other services, because to a great extent it depends on browser APIs. There is one more alternative and that would be by porting the native Android/IOS SDK to React Native. So here, we have used this combination: Twilio Video (WebRTC) for React Native.
Firstly, create an account on https://www.twilio.com/. Sign-up for a trial and verify your credentials such as phone number, email, etc. You will now be directed to the Dashboard.
You will need ACCOUNT SID along with an API key and a Secret key for generating a token. For generating an API key, navigate to API keys through the settings. The creation of API key here will give both the Secret key and the API key. It is now possible to generate a token by using npm install which uses npm package. The tokens can also be generated in multiple languages as well. The identity value should be changed for every token as the same token cannot be used at different places.
There is one more way to create a token by the use of Twilio tools. Click on Twilio tools and write an identity and a room name. This will generate the access token. Securely save these keys for the later part.
The Twilio part of the video consultation healthcare app ends here. Now let us start with the React Native development part.
Part 2: Installing Dependencies using a React Native Starter Kit
Here we will be using React Native starter kit that can be copied from the GitHub link- https://github.com/flatlogic/react-native-starter. You need to run the command- “npm install https://github.com/blackuy/react-native-twilio-video-webrtc --save” in the terminal project directory and then write the required code in App.js file.
Make sure that all the required dependencies are installed by the execution of the command- “npm install” in the project directory. Also, you need to make some configurations for utilizing Twilio and also use audio, camera, etc.
For making the goto Android folder, you should add the following code lines in settings.gradle file-
include ':react-native-twilio-video-webrtc'
project(':react-native-twilio-video-webrtc').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-twilio-video-webrtc/android')
Now, go to Android > app > build.gradle file and search for dependencies. After that, add the below-mentioned code in the block.
compile project(':react-native-twilio-video-webrtc')
Also, add the below-mentioned code in Android > app >SRC> main >JAVA> com > reactnativestarter > MainApplication.java.
import com.twiliorn.library.TwilioPackage;
After this, replace the getPackages() method with the required code.
Now for requesting the permissions to the user, it is essential to modify AndroidManifest.xml by adding the required code in this file. Also ensure that in your Twilio account, the client-side room creation is enabled.
Running the Application
Finally, when all the steps are implemented and code is executed, run your React Native healthcare app by the execution of the command- “react-native run-android” from the terminal window.
Final Verdict:
Here we have developed a simple React Native app to demonstrate the video-calling capability of Twilio. But we just need to remember that few things like user connections, user access token generation, room creation, etc. must be very diligently handled on the backend.
In this way, you can develop a Video Consultation healthcare app in React Native with Twilio. We hope these steps will be helpful to React Native developers as well as a React Native development company thinking of creating such a video consultation healthcare app.
We hope the blog has enlightened you! Please feel free to share your inputs in the comment section below. Also, for expert advice on this topic, kindly send us a mail at [email protected]!

New Post has been published on https://flatlogic.com/blog/22-react-developer-tools-to-increase-your-programming-productivity-updated-2021/
22+ React Developer Tools to Increase Your Programming Productivity [Updated 2021]
React Developer Tools Reactide Belle react-styleguidist React Material template React Semantic UI Profiler React Component Benchmark React Developer Toolbox React Bootstrap Admin template Sing App Periscope React wastage Monitor React Studio Atom React Plugin React Extension pack React Style generator Flatlogic One React React Testing Library React Monocle React + Redux kit React Boilerplate Storybook React-Sight
Conclusion
As you can understand from the title of this article, the goal is to be more productive developing React applications. That is why a long intro is unnecessary. 
There are only two points that I want to highlight at the very beginning of the article:
This list is opinionated. That means first of all that you can make your additions. I am sure that it can be extended to 30 or even 40 React developer tools. That is why your comments on Facebook or Twitter are highly appreciated. This article can be useful first of all to beginners. That is why I provide some additional historical or background information about React.js in some paragraphs.
React Developer Tools
Reactide
Github stars: 9662 Web-site: http://reactide.io/
Image source: http://reactide.io/
Reactide is an integrated development environment (IDE) for web developers using React.js. If you use this tool, you don’t need server configuration as well as build-tool. Reactide is a React developer tool, it is simply a desktop application that offers great opportunities for visualization thought live code editing.
In Flatlogic we create web & mobile application templates built with Laravel, React, Vue, Angular and Bootstrap to help you develop web & mobile apps faster. Go and check out yourself! See our themes!
Belle
Web-site: http://nikgraf.github.io/belle
Image source: http://nikgraf.github.io/belle/#/?_k=744r8m
This open-source library was built by the members of React community. Belle is a UI framework that was built because of the difficulties with creating a decent UI with React in a short period. Too much freedom with React can lead to a giant waste of time. And that is where the opinionated component library Belle comes in handy. You can easily customize these components, and think only about the features you need to have. Mobile support and consistent API complying with React are also two big pluses of this React dev tool.
react-styleguidist
Web-site: https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/getting-started
React development environment. You need to install webpack in order to use this tool. You can see some examples here and here.
React Material Admin
Web-site: https://flatlogic.com/templates/react-material-admin
Image source: https://flatlogic.com/templates/react-material-admin
Admin template is a great React development tool that simplifies the process of coding. The benefits of using admin templates are well known. This particular admin dashboard follows Google material design guidelines. It is completely jQuery and Bootstrap free and can be used for fast development of almost any kind of web application.
Basic Tables; React Router;
Charts; Authentication; Basic Dashboard; Notifications bar.

React Semantic UI
Web-site: https://react.semantic-ui.com/
Image source: https://react.semantic-ui.com/
There is an original Semantic UI library. And to use it in React you need to use a React integration of this library and Semantic UI CSS package. It will help to speed up the development process because of the prebuilt UI components. React Semantic UI is jQuery-free. As you probably know jQuery is a library for DOM manipulation. That is why it is unnecessary to keep real DOM in sync with virtual DOM (React uses JS representation of the real DOM). 
Among other features semantic UI React has:
Declarative API Shorthand Props Sub Components Augmentation Auto Controlled State
Profiler
Web-site: https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/51
Image source: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/09/10/introducing-the-react-profiler.html
Two years ago the React team introduced Profiler. It gives you a summary of re-rendering of your app. You can increase your debugging performance using this “recording” your set of interactions with the help of this profiling feature. You will be able to see a visualization of re-render as well as screenshots of DOM update. 
React Component Benchmark
Web-site: https://github.com/paularmstrong/react-component-benchmark
Image source: https://github.com/paularmstrong/react-component-benchmark
Do you remember react-addons-perf? This tool provided developers with insights about app performance. As the new version of React has been released you can no longer use react-addons-perf. React Component Benchmark is an open-source project that aims to solve the problem of getting an accurate benchmark metric. But it is important to understand that only large enough sample will give you a confident metric. The reason it’s happening like this is that this project does not hook into React directly. And because of this values are not accurate enough. That is why it is reasonable to run large samples using this React development tool.
React Developer Toolbox
Web-site: http://react-toolbox.io/#/
Image source: http://react-toolbox.io/#/
This is the best tool for developing Material Design UI. It has tons of responsive components that comply with Google Material Design guidelines. The exhaustive list you can find right here. React Toolbox is created on top CSS Modules, ES6, and Webpack. Documentation page contains all the live examples of each component so it’s very illustrative. 
React Bootstrap
Web-site: https://react-bootstrap.github.io
You can make a case that bootstrap is the largest UI ecosystem in the world. So React-Bootstrap was built for compatibility with Bootstrap. This is one of the oldest libraries for React. It has Bootstrap core, rely on Bootstrap stylesheet and fully evolved side by side with React.js itself. If you want a set of accessible-by-default components React-Bootstrap is giving you much more possibilities than plain Bootstrap. 
Admin Templates: Sing App React
Web-site: https://flatlogic.com/templates/sing-app-react
This fully responsive admin template was downloaded more than 1000 times. This template is versatile and was built by professional UI/UX experts. It has more than 60 ready-to-use components and provides you with intuitive framework. It can be useful for building such CRM, CMS, SAAS, etc.
Tens of Pages Fully Responsive 8 Charts Library 2 Dashboards Theme Support E-Commerce Section Static & Hover Sidebar Fully Documented Codebase
Periscope
Web-site: https://github.com/shea-hawkins/periscope
Image source: https://github.com/shea-hawkins/periscope
There isn’t much to say about this open-source project. This is monitoring for Redux applications. You can view your app at all times and adjust the timeline range. 
React Wastage Monitor
Web-site: https://github.com/MalucoMarinero/react-wastage-monitor
Image source: https://github.com/MalucoMarinero/react-wastage-monitor#react-wastage-monitor
This project helps you to manage performance issues by detecting wasted rendering time. To understand the importance of this tool you need to dive deep into the concept of <PureComponent>. Implementing PureComponent stops the process called React reconciliation (you can read more here). And PureComponent only re-render when it’s necessary. If you rely on Redux managing to access possible performance mistakes you risk making a critical mistake. React Wastage Monitor ensures you never waste computation on unnecessary renders. 
React Studio
Web-site: https://reactstudio.com/
Image source: https://reactstudio.com
React Studio is a useful tool for web developers and web designers. Web developers can enjoy clean JS code, good visual design representation that respects React.js concepts. You can design separate UI components using the code generator. A designer can enjoy responsive layouts that can be easily turned into React code, mobile preview and use it as a prototyping tool. You can have your clean code promptly with nothing extra. 
Atom React Plugin
Web-site: https://orktes.github.io/atom-react/
Image source: https://orktes.github.io/atom-react/
This is support for the Atom Editor that helps highlight JSX code. JavaScript Syntax eXtensin without the plugin is very difficult to work with. With the addition of highlighter and code folding, you can make fewer mistakes. It will help you be more productive and makes your job easier.
React Developer Tool. Extension Pack
Web-site: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jawandarajbir.react-vscode-extension-pack
Image source: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jawandarajbir.react-vscode-extension-pack
As well as the previous tool this one is used to adjust your code editor. You can speed up the development process in Visual Studio using these seven extensions:
Code snippets; An integrated npm; ES6 snippets; ESLint; File paths; IntelliSense for npm modules; A search feature for node_modules.
React Style Guide Generator
Web-site: http://pocotan001.github.io/react-styleguide-generator/#!.
Image source: http://pocotan001.github.io/react-styleguide-generator/#!.
You need to maintain a consistent style across all the pages. When a big team is working on the same project all colors, typography, paddings should be consistent. To make a convenient style guide you can use React Style Guide Generator. And even if in a couple of years you will need to make adjustments or addons to your project you can simply give a developer or agency your style guide. 
Flatlogic One React
Web-site: https://flatlogic.com/templates/one-react-template
Image source: https://flatlogic.com/templates/one-react-template
This is an admin template made with React 16 and Redux. The template has a responsive layout with tens of pages and hundreds of customizable components. The designers did a good job on this product. Flatlogic One React is a good basis for creating CMS systems, SAAS, Blog/Data management solutions, E-Commerce.
Tens of Pages; Beautiful charts made with Amcharts, Echarts, and Apexcharts; Fully responsive; React 16;  Redux; Login and Logout screens; Notifications & Icons; Flatlogic Typography & Icons; 2 Dashboards;
Google Maps Integrated, etc.
If you’re interested in more examples of a react template, Flatlogic team can offer them for you.
React Testing Library
Web-site: https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/example-intro
If you use create-react-app you have support of Testing Library. If you don’t, you can use npm
npm install –save-dev @testing-library/react
React Monocle
Web-site: https://github.com/team-gryff/react-monocle
Image source: https://github.com/team-gryff/react-monocle
When you work on some complex projects with tons of classes of components it is always hard to manage such a project and debug it. In this case, only a transparent structure of a project is a condition for the successful delivery of a project. React-monocle can visualize all the relationships of all the components and show you the hierarchies very fast. 
React + Redux starter kit
Web-site: https://github.com/coryhouse/react-slingshot
Image source: https://github.com/coryhouse/react-slingshot
This starter kit implements React best practices. This includes:
Bundling; Minification; Testing; Lintinting; Hot reloading, etc.
The most valuable part of this project is the amount of developers expertise that was put is this boilerplate. You no longer need to make tons of difficult decisions starting from the structure of the project until the testing. 
React Boilerplate
Web-site: https://www.reactboilerplate.com/
Image source: https://www.reactboilerplate.com/
When you start a new app very often create-react-app crosses your mind. But you can also use a boilerplate with all dependencies prebuilt. This ready-to-use was created by the community to maximize the development speed and therefore your effectiveness. React Boilerplate can easily work with well known Chrome Redux DevTools.
Storybook
Web-site: https://storybook.js.org
Image source: https://storybook.js.org/
Storybook helps you develop nice separate UI components. In case when you need to make some isolated from business logic this tool provides so-called sandbox. And that in this sandbox or playground (you can call it as you want) you can create components. So why it is called a storybook? Because it documents components as stories. Each story contains states. Each state can be may be compared with the visual test case. In the end, a story is simply a function. This function returns a value that is rendered to the screen. 
React-Sight
Web-site: https://github.com/React-Sight/React-Sight
Image source: https://github.com/React-Sight/React-Sight
This tool fully supports Router, Redux, and Fiber, and shows your app’s hierarchy. As well as previous visualization tool it requires to React Dev Tools that can be installed as an extension in Chrome. 
Finally…
JavaScript is famous for the number of tools that you can use. As time goes by you get overwhelmed and tired. You need to have a set of proven tools for your coding process. We offer you a series of articles about React.js development tools.

What makes React Native the Future? A clear advantage of using React Native is it can help you build a native application without having to understand things like Objective-C, JavaScript, Kotlin or Swift. Apps can be developed for platforms such as iOS, Windows Phone, Virtual Reality headsets and helmets, and Android. React Native is a project of Facebook. Technology biggies like Tesla, Airbnb, Samsung, and Wix, along with others are dedicated to creating React Native and the IT-community surrounding it. Google Trends says React Native’s framework popularity has grown during the previous three years. That is very remarkable and it’s not expected to end. If you want to comprehend the technological underpinnings of utilizing React Native in the mobile environment, it’s necessary to understand all about the framework of React JS. React performs highly because it utilizes Virtual DOM. Firstly, we must remember a Document Object Model (DOM) is the standard cross-platform needed to access documents. Via DOM, you are able to interact with web browsers. However, the foremost issue with DOM is a dynamic and responsive user interface can’t be created.  A virtual DOM is a duplicate of an real DOM. Changes are made only in a specific are of the duplicate. A virtual DOM represents a perfect UI that is able to be reconciled with a real DOM. In place of utilizing the DOM of a web browser, React Native renders either Android or iOS components. Consequently the chief trick React Native invokes is the natural rendering APIs. The React Native applications create API requests that call natural components via JavaScript. Or an Objective-C.  React Native utilizes typical UI blocks, just like iOS or Android applications, however there isn’t a WebView or UIWebView. Any created mobile application ought to be natural. And if an application is dependent on HTML or JS or CSS, it’s a better choice to improve the mobile form of a web application. An advantage of using React Native is the option to utilize Expo. That toolchain comes with a lot more APIs besides the ones from React Native. And, it is possible to watch the development progression or you can also test a few of the new aspects of it via Expo’s application. If your project is large or complicated, you will require full play. In regard to a wide-ranging project, it’s a better idea to prepare a mobile application via React Native. One of the big pluses of utilizing React Native is if the user has experience in website development already, and then it’s simple to learn how to use React Native. Plus tools like Yarn, NPM, ES6 or ES7, and CSS can be used.  React Native come with a smart system to monitor errors that comprise the ability to track errors, and to show a message or an attempt to recover. That system is extremely efficient for taking care of exceptions that weren’t caught previously. A huge advantage in using React Native is its community support. By using StackOverflow you can see more than 53K questions related to React Native. Plus, GitHub displays steady growth of the open-source projects that utilize RN. React Native has hardly any competition in the marketplace. Two, however, are Flutter along with Ionic. We shall now do a comparison between React Native and those competitors. React Native Versus Flutter Flutter comes from Google. It’s their attempt to develop a cross-platform kind of mobile framework that lets a developer design a mobile app which works for iOs and Android via Dart language. Actually, Flutter isn’t that great, according to users, especially in regard to developing an iOS app. To understand, we must first check out the way React Native works. Both the Android as well as the iOS mobile platforms delivers APIs which communicate with the natural environment. This may involve APIs that render natural elements or to utilize natural iOS technology  (i.e. GPS or Bluetooth, etc.). And essentially, React Native gives users a bridge which lets the JS code call native functions via the specific platform. Whenever you create a button via the calling of some abstract purpose like createButton (it is done via the React DOM in the background), React Native transfers that instruction over a bridge that goes to the natural platform, then calls Android’s JavaScript function to create a button and the iOS Objective-C function creates a natural button for iOS. That principle lets React Native applications appear as and act exactly like a natural application.  Go back to Flutter for a moment. It acts more similar to a game engine. Then we see Flutter’s first con. Whenever a createButton function in the Dart code is called,  Flutter’s engine is accountable to draw it. Plus within the average library, Flutter attempts to copy the natural button’s behavior. It is implemented very well with an Android app, however with an iOS app, it appears far from being natural.  Firstly, it provides the users with a bad experience, and next, whenever there is a release of a brand-new UI element or some APIs, you must wait until Google updates implementing the natural adapter prior to its use. React Native Versus Ionic The top con when using an Ionic application is it’s very slow and doesn’t look native whatsoever. That’s because Ionic is merely a Webview wrap that goes overtop the web mechanisms written via CSS and JS, and that causes the application to be dependent on WebView which is very slow. Likewise, it causes you to be accountable to make your application appear and act like a native one, and that’s very complicated. React Native’s Future  React Native is about to get some changes! It has a few issues of course, and while lots of businesses and crews are using RN development, those issues have become lots more noticeable and there’s a lot more stress in trying to get them resolved. The Facebook crew is upgrading React Native so it can resolve a lot of the issues with the framework. The top method of understanding this brand-new construction is checking out this great outline from a top RN contributor here. If you liked our blog, please read our latest posts:
