But really I hope I never have to see jquery again. I never learned it so it just annoys me having code I don't understand in projects.

So, install "npm reactstrap"

Here is my sandbox where I test and learn: http://github.com/brian32768/react-bootstrap-test
Install "npm reactstrap"


=== Initial impressions ===
Learn reactstrap https://www.techiediaries.com/react-bootstrap/


The code with React components is so clean compared to conventional Bootstrap.
See the official docs https://reactstrap.github.io/

React is a framework that helps me build views. It came from the people at Facebook.

https://reactjs.org/

IDE

This week I am using Atom and found this to be helpful. https://fullstackengine.net/recommended-atom-packages-react-js/

So far I have installed

  • atom-ternjs (javascript code intelligence)
  • atom-wrap-in-tag (Alt-Shift-W)
  • autocomplete-modules (autocomplete require and import)
  • color-picker (alt-ctl-C) THIS IS COOL!
  • language-babel (autocomplete jsx and more)
  • sync-settings (uses github gist, ctl-shift-p Sync Settings:Backup or :Restore)

sync-settings

After putting in the token under settings,

Might want to look at Emmet

react-test = React with routing

To test React + Parcel I created https://github.com/brian32768/react-test

Now, with ROUTING!!

Learn React Router version 4 is https://css-tricks.com/react-router-4/

react-bootstrap-test = React + Bootstrap

Here is the sandbox: http://github.com/brian32768/react-bootstrap-test

See "React and React Native", Chapter 11: Mobile-First React Components.

Be warned they are talking about Bootstrap 3 in that book, which is what (the official) react-bootstrap supports.

I wanted to use Bootstrap 4 so I am working with (the unofficial) "reactstap", eventually the support will be updated in react-bootsrap and I will revise this. 11-20-18

You can't simply load the separate Node packages for React and Bootstrap because bootstrap normally uses jquery and jquery directly modifies the DOM. That breaks the React model, which uses a "virtual DOM" to speed up rendering-- the whole point of React.

You still have to load the Bootstrap package (that is, "npm install bootstrap") to get bootstrap.css

I hope I never have to see jquery again. I never learned it so it annoys me having code I don't understand in projects.

React + Bootstrap 4 = Reactstrap

Install "npm reactstrap"
