React, sometimes known as React.js, is an open-source JavaScript library popular for front-end development. Created by a Facebook engineer, it was first seen in public used in Facebook’s News Feedback in 2011; two years later, it was open-sourced and shot up in popularity with web developers and front-end engineers. Today it is used everywhere, from Airbnb and BBC News to OKCupid and PayPal.
React is mainly used to create user interfaces that are interactive, predictable, easy to troubleshoot, and quick to implement. It’s a great choice for a variety of use cases, from simple messaging apps and single page applications to entire social media networks and online stores.
If you’re looking for simplicity, React makes things easy with its ability to quickly create components and reuse them as needed. It’s a performative option, as well, thanks to the way it keeps DOM in memory, so if speed is a concern, React should certainly be a contender. And, thanks to the massive community and resources available, it definitely makes a solid, future-proofed choice for your UI and web development needs.
The length of a project depends on many factors, including the scope of your project and the technical complexity of it. When you post a freelance React project request on Codementor, you’ll have the option to indicate when you’d expect the project to be completed. We suggest chatting with the interested developers to ensure both sides are on the same page. For more information on how to post a freelance React request on Codementor, check out our article.
We don’t charge anything when you post a freelance hiring request for React developers! You’ll have the chance to determine what the budget for your project is when you post the request. You’ll only need to pay the developer if you’re 100% satisfied with their work. Please know that Codementor charges a small service fee when a developer completes the job.
Check for React skills that match with what you’re hoping to accomplish. From handling events and conditional rendering to static type checking and integrating React with other libraries, you’ll want them to be well-versed in all things React. But, because React is a JavaScript library, dive into their knowledge of the JavaScript language, frameworks, components, and other libraries, as well.
And, along with technical skills, you’ll want your future React developer to have significant soft skills, as well. Check for their resourcefulness, ability to adapt and switch tasks, capability of handling stress and deadline pressures, and organizational skills, among other things.
We do a comprehensive technical and communications screen of all React developers at Codementor. Our network includes book authors, popular open source contributors, top Stack Overflow users and engineers at top tech companies. In addition, to continually ensure the quality of our freelancers, we regularly check in on existing React developers’ user satisfaction rates.
To really get a sense of their React knowledge and experience, ask to see your prospective freelance developer’s online portfolio. See if they’ve worked with using React on projects close to what you might have in mind. Do their projects show a wide range of skills around JavaScript? Do they have depth in React as well as breadth across web development?
Use your interview to also check whether they’ll be a good fit for a remote, freelance role. Are they good managers of their own time? Do they work well autonomously without much direction? Are they good communicators? These will be crucial questions to determine their fit before extending an offer.
