Re-base vs Relay: What are the differences?

Developers describe Re-base as "A Relay inspired library for building React.js + Firebase applications". 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. On the other hand, Relay is detailed as "A JavaScript Framework for Building Data-Driven React Applications, by Facebook". Never again communicate with your data store using an imperative API. Simply declare your data requirements using GraphQL and let Relay figure out how and when to fetch your data.

Re-base and Relay belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Re-base are:

  • 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.

On the other hand, Relay provides the following key features:

  • Build data driven apps
  • Declarative style
  • Mutate data on the client and server

Re-base and Relay are both open source tools. It seems that Relay with 13.1K GitHub stars and 1.29K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Re-base with 2.13K GitHub stars and 162 GitHub forks.

What tools integrate with Re-base?
What are some alternatives to and 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.
