React
React is a framework that helps me build views. It came from the people at Facebook.
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
- autocomplete-modules
- sync-settings
react-test = React Hello World
To test React + Parcel I created https://github.com/brian32768/react-test which is about as simple as I could make it.
react-bootstrap = React + Bootstrap
See "React and React Native", Chapter 11: Mobile-First React Components.
You can't simply load the separate Node packages 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-- sort of the whole point of React.
So, install "npm react-bootstrap"
Here is my sandbox where I test and learn: http://github.com/brian32768/react-bootstrap-test
