Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working with React for many years, and there is one thing that differentiates it from other solutions like Vue or Angular. While the last ones provide you official out-of-the-box solutions for many problems, react has a lot of open-source libraries, which are supported by other maintainers and are not a part of the react library.
On the one hand, it gives us flexibility and options to choose from. On the other hand, we have to dive deep and find what fits our needs based on project setup and business goals.
While there are a lot of open-source lists with react libraries on GitHub, they usually just name popular repositories and you have to dig further.
What I tried to do - was to create a chart with statistics about these ecosystem repositories. Firstly, they were split by purpose: CSS utility, state management, testing, etc. Secondly, I added data for each of them - the number of stars, pull requests, issues, commit activity, and other things. Data is up to date, it is fetched automatically via shields.
This chart was very useful for me, as I found several projects I wasn’t aware of.
Hopefully, it can be useful for somebody else. Especially for learner, who just started their journey in the react.
I appreciate any feedback, and also contribution is warmly welcome!

The post discusses the diverse ecosystem of open-source libraries available for React compared to Vue and Angular, highlighting the flexibility and options that React developers have. It introduces a chart that categorizes these libraries by purpose and includes up-to-date statistics such as stars, pull requests, issues, and commit activity. The chart aims to help developers discover useful projects and make informed decisions based on detailed data.
