Beyond React

The following libraries are worth mentioning to use in conjunction with React:

• FlowType - a way to annotate ES6 with types, similar to TypeScript
• Redux - predictable (application) state container, a Flux implementation
• Webpack - a JS packager, used by create-react-app
• Babel - a ES6+ to JS transpiler, also used by create-react-app
• JSS - a way to write CSS-like styles inside your component files
