reactor-getting-started

Reactor is a modern UI framework for C# applications that adapts the React mental model for building complex user interfaces. It differs by providing C#-native hooks and component factories tailored for the .NET ecosystem.

You can set up a minimal Reactor application by running the command `dotnet new reactorapp -n <Name>`. This initializes the foundational project structure needed to start building UI components in C#.

Reactor is designed specifically for developers already familiar with React. Prior knowledge of React concepts is required to grasp the Reactor mental model and effectively use its hooks and factories for UI development.

Reactor provides C#-native equivalents to React hooks and factories for constructing UI components. These mechanisms allow you to manage state and build complex interfaces using the framework's component model.

Common pitfalls when getting started with Reactor include misunderstanding the framework's mental model and misconfiguring the initial setup. The framework provides specific guidance on best practices to avoid these structural errors.
