1. Modern UI Framework
React is a battle-tested, high-performance UI library used by top-tier companies. Mendix leverages this to deliver:
Responsive and dynamic user interfaces
Smooth rendering and fast page loads
Support for complex, component-based UIs
2. Custom Widgets with Full React Power
With Mendix's Pluggable Widget SDK, you can create custom components using:
React + TypeScript
Any third-party UI library (e.g., Chart.js, D3.js, Material-UI)
Your own business logic in JavaScript
This lets you go beyond low-code when needed — no limits.
3. Seamless Integration with Mendix Data
React widgets can bind directly to Mendix entities, attributes, microflows, and nanoflows — giving you:
Live data updates in UI
Two-way data binding (input/output)
Full access to context and security
4. React Native for Mobile
Mendix Native apps are built on React Native, which means:
Native performance on Android and iOS
Access to device APIs: camera, GPS, sensors, BLE
Modern mobile UX with animations and gestures
Offline-first support using local database
5. Developer-Friendly Ecosystem
React's ecosystem is huge. When using React in Mendix:
You can reuse existing React components
Leverage thousands of NPM packages
Apply frontend best practices (hooks, modular design)
This reduces development time for complex UI needs.
6. Maintainability and Reusability
React promotes:
Component reuse across multiple pages/apps
Clear separation of logic and UI
Easier debugging and testing using tools like React DevTools
7. Low-Code + Pro-Code Fusion
You get the best of both worlds:
Rapid app development in Mendix Studio Pro
High-performance custom UIs via React when needed
Flexibility to involve frontend developers in a low-code project
Nice!!!
