Hello,
You can use AccDC along with any other framework. What framework are they
using?
I'm slowly working on bringing AccDC into React, but it is a little
difficult as AccDC manipulates the DOM and React is trying to get people to
move away from touching the dom. If there is anyone working on React, I
would love some help!
Thanks,
