Tic-Tac-Toe

I wanted to try out Svelte and SolidJS, so I made tic-tac-toe in both libraries. I also made it in React so I could compare all 3 options.

Conclusions:

  1. React is React. I am pretty comfortable with it since I have used it so much, but I am not the biggest fan of its rendering pattern. Rerunning all component code on every remount is not great for performance (in comparison to Solid and Svelte), and it can cause a lot of confusion for people new to React.
  2. Solid is a little bit confusing at times, and its control flow components are a bit annoying to use in comparison to React and Svelte's alternatives. It took me a while to figure out how to use a store to update a nested array.
  3. Svelte is pretty awesome. I am a fan. It has fine-grained updates, and you can write less code to get the same result. It is basically just HTML/CSS/JS with the bells and whistles of modern frameworks/libraries like React but with better performance.

How to Run

  1. Clone the git repository
  2. Change directories into the folder where you cloned the repository.
  3. Run yarn install
  4. Run the command associated with the app you want to run:
    • For React, run yarn workspace tic-tac-toe-react dev
    • For Solid, run yarn workspace tic-tac-toe-solid dev
    • For Svelte, run yarn workspace tic-tac-toe-svelte dev
  5. Go to http://localhost:5173/
