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)
  • autocomplete-modules (autocomplete require and import)
  • language-babel (autocomplete jsx and more)
  • sync-settings (uses github gist to sync atom settings)

sync-settings

After putting in the token under settings,

ctl-shift-p Sync Settings:Backup or :Restore

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
