I recently picked up a new project that uses React. Out of the box, my configuration doesn’t seem to be doing very well – indentation is erratic (sometimes thrown off by JSX), no lsp-rename, and generally things are slow.
Are there any generally recommended approaches for React development with Emacs? Language server, minor modes, tree-sitter, etc? There seem to be a lot of options and modes available.
The codebase is currently JavaScript and JSX, but I’m considering Typescript and TSX down the line. Should I just default to the TypeScript tooling?
add-node-modules-to-path is broken since npm dropped support for the
npm bincommand.That’s not great. I bet the project I was using it on is quite old. In the meantime, as stated https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1865s7b/recommended_setup_for_react_development/kb7kej1/ envrc and
layout nodeseems to work for me!
