1.  The Key React Libraries to Use in 2020 — Everyone loves a curated list! This one came right at the start of 2020 and intelligently bought together a variety of key React libraries that still remain valuable. I hope Robin or someone else does a similar list for 2021.. hint hint.

2.  Five Common Mistakes Writing Components (with Hooks) — Posts where we get to learn from other people’s mistakes are always popular, and so it went with this one about creating components.

3.  The Ugly Side of React Hooks — We've covered hooks almost non-stop since their appearance two years ago, and mostly in a positive light. So we were intrigued to find an article trying to form another side of the argument. From the comments, though, clearly not everybody agreed with the author’s assertions. Dillon Shook's A Critique of React Hooks covered similar ground.

4.  React Folder Structure in 5 Steps — A walkthrough of how to structure large React apps into folders and files so you can manage them for the long term. There’s no single right way to do it, but Robin, who seemed to have a strong 2020 in terms of his blogging, shared his approach here.

5.  Stop Mocking fetch — Another developer who had a very strong year of blogging about React was Kent C Dodds! Here he covered not only why you shouldn’t mock fetch or your API clients in your tests but what to consider instead.

Recoil: An Exprimental State Management Library for React — Interesting not only because it came from Facebook, but because there was also a pretty good 23-minute talk about it and it followed the latest React standards out of the box.

RedwoodJS: Bringing Full-Stack to the JAMstack — An opinionated framework that combines React, GraphQL, Prisma2, and lots more out of the box. Notably it comes from Tom Preston-Werner, one of the original founders of GitHub and the creator of Gravatar. We expect to see a lot more of this in 2021.

Reactochart: Chart Components by Spotify — We have featured a number of charting libraries in the past but it’s always interesting to see what a well-known brand like Spotify has on offer (and this set is mature and has been around a while). The documentation is good, with each type of chart (line, bar, pie, histograph, heatmaps, and more) illustrated with its own demo.

React Query 3: Hooks for Fetching, Caching and Updating Data — 3.2.0 came out just yesterday! It provides hooks that help you keep your server cache state separate from your global state and let you read and update everything asynchronously.

React Hook Form 6: Simple, Extensible React Form Validation — Now with better TypeScript support, a smaller package size, and numerous refinements and improvements, RHF is certainly worth a look if you’re building or refactoring forms. GitHub repo. A new version dropped just this week.

Craft.js: A React Framework for Building Drag and Drop Page Editors — It’s a bold move to make the landing page for your project be a text editor itself, but we liked it :-)
