Yes, ExtReact uses the data package to get data into grids, trees, charts, and more. You have the option of using a Proxy to fetch data from the back end, or simply using an in-memory store and fetching the data by other means, for example redux-thunk. To learn more, read the Using Ext.data.Store Within Flux Apps guide.
Are there any parts, such as the data package, that are shared between ExtReact and Ext JS?

How does ExtReact solve developers’ challenges?

ExtReact comes with 115+ fully tested and supported components that are all designed to work together over the lifetime of the application.
Why did Sencha develop ExtReact?
We saw a clear market opportunity for ExtReact. We have been helping organizations all over the world build data-intensive applications featuring powerful UI components for the last decade. Our focus has been on providing developers with everything they need to build data-intensive commercial web apps – meaning a full framework, robust components and productivity boosting tools.
We recognized that React is growing rapidly in popularity and that there wasn’t a full commercial component set available to the React developers. They often have to assemble the components from various open source projects and a limited number of commercial vendors. Integrating all of these components together and with the React framework can cause project delays, create integration risks and ongoing maintenance challenges. We knew we could provide a better solution with our comprehensive set of UI components.
