Frond: A frontend runtime graph for managing dependencies and cleanup in React applications
By
Roman Dubinin
Summary
Frond is a frontend runtime graph library for React apps that solves common problems in growing applications: managing service dependencies, cleanup when users change, and race conditions. It provides an explicit, declarative way to define resource nodes with typed dependencies, lifecycle management, and automatic cleanup/eviction. The article introduces Frond's core concepts including nodes, dependencies, scoped resources, and readiness tracking, positioning it as a solution to the implicit dependency management that plagues larger frontend codebases.
