jQuery to React Migration · Lichfield

jQuery to React Migration in Lichfield

Moving Lichfield applications from jQuery to React, where the two disagree about who owns the page. jQuery changes elements directly; React renders them from state and expects to be the only thing doing so — and where both touch the same part of the page, the result is behaviour that fails intermittently and resists debugging.

Why this comes up

The problem

React components were introduced alongside existing scripts, and both are modifying the same elements.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Boundaries drawn so each region of the page has one owner
  • Migration sequenced by region rather than attempting the whole page at once
  • State moved out of the DOM, since jQuery code often stores it there
  • Plugins replaced rather than wrapped, where they manipulate elements React renders
  • Event handling rationalised, as delegated handlers can fire on rerendered elements
  • Global scripts audited, because they frequently reach across the entire page

jQuery to React Migration in Lichfield — common questions

Why can they not share the page?
Because React rerenders from its own model of what should be there. Anything jQuery changed directly is discarded on the next render, and the failure is intermittent — it depends on timing, which makes it far harder to diagnose than an outright error.
How is incremental migration done safely?
By region, with strict boundaries. A component owns its part of the page completely and legacy scripts own theirs, with communication through explicit events rather than by reaching into each other's elements — and enforcing that discipline is most of the work.
What about jQuery plugins?
Most need replacing rather than wrapping. A plugin that builds its own markup fights React's rendering, and although wrapping is possible for simple cases, it produces code that breaks in ways future developers cannot reasonably be expected to predict.
Where does the state live?
It has to move. jQuery applications commonly keep state in the page itself — a class name, a data attribute, whether an element is visible — and React needs that in its own model, so identifying every place the DOM is being used as storage is an early and unglamorous task.
Do you work with businesses across Staffordshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Lichfield and the surrounding Staffordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Lichfield businesses do you usually work with?
Small professional practice systems — booking, invoicing and client portals for firms with a regional rather than local client list. Beyond that we work across Retail, Tourism & Heritage, Professional Services, Logistics and Construction.
Do you cover the areas around Lichfield?
Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton. Lichfield is an urban area of roughly 35,000+, and we take on work across the wider Staffordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
