React.js

What is React.js?

React is a "declarative, efficient, and flexible Javascript library for building user interfaces." It was created by Facebook, first deployed in 2011, and was open-sourced in 2013. It is one of many answers to everyone's favorite question: "how should we structure Javascript applications on the web?"

Goal:

Minimize the amount of mutation that developers have to deal with by totally redoing the view every time that the data on a page changes. The developer writes the code for the page's first load but never has to account for modifications since every change to the page is treated like that initial render!

What problem does the Gem solve?

This Gem solves the issue of user authentication by allowing users to register for and sign into an application using exisiting social media profiles. There is an enormous list of supported 'strategies' (types of 3rd party profile) [here] (https://github.com/intridea/omniauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies).

How do you use it in a Rails app?
