Deku vs Flux: What are the differences?
Developers describe Deku as "Functional view library for building UI components as an alternative to React". A library for creating UI components using virtual DOM as an alternative to React. Deku has a smaller footprint (~10kb), a functional API, and doesn't support legacy browsers. On the other hand, Flux is detailed as "Application Architecture for Building User Interfaces". Flux is the application architecture that Facebook uses for building client-side web applications. It complements React's composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. It's more of a pattern rather than a formal framework, and you can start using Flux immediately without a lot of new code.
Deku and Flux can be categorized as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Deku and Flux are both open source tools. Flux with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Deku with 3.41K GitHub stars and 167 GitHub forks.
