Does it possible to move admin panel to ui infrastructure like React?

Benefits against jQuery alike:

1. Expandability
2. Structurefull
3. Components
4. Ability to manage application state (redux, saga, etc.)
5. No need for server-side rendering
6. Thin backend

I think that could be possible, but there are several questions from my side:

1. Currently I'm using UIkit as front-end framework and it's based on jQuery. Should I rewrite all the components?
2. Re-usability and support. Currently I can use my jQuery-based plugins everywhere, even when I create a new module. What about React?

[ivansky]

Components in React are re-usable. You can manage dependencies as you wish.
Using obsolete technology like jQuery is too expensive to maintain later.
Community will appreciate approach changes.

@ivansky what about frontend framework?

[ivansky]

@xtremespb I think we can use any React-based ui framework like https://github.com/callemall/material-ui
There are a lot of frameworks can be used here because React community is really large.

[ivansky]

Ideally React should be integrated in whole application with the server-side rendering and be splitted to separate maintainable modules to get maximum profit.

I just stumble upon this repo searching for datatables for my framework too!!!
I understand the effort it needs to built a framework and what about revenue after putting so much effort on sth.
Your framework is a decent attempt and it will follow it's fate like everything including mine.
My framework uses 'obsolete' technology like php and js, jquery as I had/have three factors in my mind:

1. can I host several users in a box? (the scaling problem)
2. can I absorb and customize free templates for my users?
3. can I use the widest/popular codebase out there?

The answers drove me to simple 'obsolete' solutions. I have bought books for Angular that still sitting around because everything new becomes outdated fast! Node? yak! Java? Yak! What about Redux-React? Yak! Well ... -> https://medium.com/@garywiz/welcome-to-framework-hell-aa54a9b5d4fd

If you intend to make money by not hosting many users then the above restrictions change wildly and I might have wrong!

But so far so good:
-Auth system (modified from github) check!
-Captcha (github, no modifications) check!
-Role based system check!
-Security expandable check!
-Paypal integration started
-Templating almost there
-Admin for users started
-Theme builder coming
-mySQL -> Yak! SQLite is the old hero!

Just Apache and linux is my motto! (along with some dogmatism like never write client code inside php)
I hope I was some helpful!
