What is Re-base?
React.js makes managing state easy to reason about. Firebase makes persisting your data easy to implement. re-base, inspired by Relay, combines the benefits of React and Firebase by allowing each component to specify its own data dependency. Forget about your data persistence and focus on what really matters, your application's state.
Re-base is a tool in the Javascript UI Libraries category of a tech stack.
Re-base is an open source tool with 2.1K GitHub stars and 143 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Re-base's open source repository on GitHub
Who uses Re-base?
Re-base's Features
- syncState: Two way data binding between any property on your component's state and any endpoint in Firebase. Use the same API you're used to to update your component's state (setState), and Firebase will also update.
- bindToState: One way data binding. Whenever your Firebase endpoint changes, the property on your state will update as well.
- listenTo: Whenever your Firebase endpoint changes, it will invoke a callback passing it the new data from Firebase.
- fetch: Retrieve data from Firebase without setting up any binding or listeners.
- post: Add new data to Firebase.
- removeBinding: Remove all of the Firebase listeners when your component unmounts.
- reset: Removes all of the Firebase listeners and resets the singleton (for testing purposes).
Re-base Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Re-base?
jQuery
jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
React
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
AngularJS
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
Vue.js
It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
jQuery UI
Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
