I am learning WordPress REST API and ReactJs.I think ReactJS would be a great asset for developing faster themes and plugins.But I have a question.May be I am new to React that's why i am confused with those and i am asking to get a clarified idea about All those things
Do i need Node for developing themes with react?I know that node/npms work for server side and while there is a rest API in wordpress,so why i should use node.I can create get
requests on those API endpoints and get desired data.
Will It be convenient for users?For example: If it can be installed same as to the wordpress theme installation?Upload -> Install -> Activate?..No need to run npm or something like that?
