| 2020 doesn't have much longer to run and this is our final issue of the year — thank you for your continual submissions and encouragement. At the end of each year we reflect back on the most popular links for the year and the biggest events from each month, so without further ado, here's our React in 2020 roundup! We hope you'll have a happy holiday season and we'll see you next in 2021.

| 1. The Key React Libraries to Use in 2020 — Everyone loves a curated list! This one came right at the start of 2020 and intelligently bought together a variety of key React libraries that still remain valuable. I hope Robin or someone else does a similar list for 2021.. hint hint. Robin Wieruch |
| 3. The Ugly Side of React Hooks — We've covered hooks almost non-stop since their appearance two years ago, and mostly in a positive light. So we were intrigued to find an article trying to form another side of the argument. From the comments, though, clearly not everybody agreed with the author's assertions. Dillon Shook's A Critique of React Hooks covered similar ground. Nir Yosef |
| 4. React Folder Structure in 5 Steps — A walkthrough of how to structure large React apps into folders and files so you can manage them for the long term. There's no single right way to do it, but Robin, who seemed to have a strong 2020 in terms of his blogging, shared his approach here. Robin Wieruch |
| 5. Stop Mocking fetch — Another developer who had a very strong year of blogging about React was Kent C Dodds! Here he covered not only why you shouldn't mock fetch or your API clients in your tests but what to consider instead. Kent C Dodds |

🛠 Top Code and Tools from 2020 |
| RedwoodJS: Bringing Full-Stack to the JAMstack — An opinionated framework that combines React, GraphQL, Prisma2, and lots more out of the box. Notably it comes from Tom Preston-Werner, one of the original founders of GitHub and the creator of Gravatar. We expect to see a lot more of this in 2021. RedwoodJS |
| Reactochart: Chart Components by Spotify — We have featured a number of charting libraries in the past but it's always interesting to see what a well-known brand like Spotify has on offer (and this set is mature and has been around a while). The documentation is good, with each type of chart (line, bar, pie, histograph, heatmaps, and more) illustrated with its own demo. Spotify |
