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

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

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.
- about.js and contact.js test the Card container.
- pictures.js tests the Carousel container.
React + Bootstrap 4 = Reactstrap
Install "npm reactstrap"
Learn reactstrap https://www.techiediaries.com/react-bootstrap/
