  • Isn't React both the M and V, not just the V, since it holds and updates data state and renders fragments of html via components? Commented Apr 10, 2019 at 4:54

    There are react state management libraries like flux or redux, but these aren't packaged with react. Commented Apr 11, 2019 at 17:08
  • Oh I see, we don't consider the View data to be model data.. until it is submitted to server side. Even though React holds component state (view data), that's remains view data until submission. That makes sense. Commented Apr 11, 2019 at 18:21
