React Everything

This is a series of demos that illustrate how React can easily be used with virtually any other framework. The same component (PeopleList.jsx) is used for each example. This means that you could effectively write your component one time in React and have it adopted by users of the the frameworks in the various demos.

Demos

Angular 2.beta.1 with React

Uses /src/angular2/ReactComponent.js (ES7)

• import the ReactComponent in your project
• Inject 'ReactComponent' as a directive in your View Annotation
• Use <react-component></react-component> which accepts:
  • [props] - the React component props
  • [component] - the component to be passed to React.createElement
  • (optional) [children] - an array of React elements as children to the component
• See the /src/angular2/app.js example code

Angular 1.x with React

Uses ngReact https://github.com/davidchang/ngReact

Kendo MVVM with React

Uses /public/javascript/kendo/kendo.reactComponent.js, a Kendo UI Widget

• Include kendo.reactComponent.js in your project
• Use the reactcomponent custom widget, ie: <div data-role="reactcomponent"></div> which accepts:
  • props - the React component props
  • component - the component to be passed to React.createElement
  • (optional) children - an array (or observable array) of children
• You have two options to pass the parameters to the react component:
  • Use the reactcomponent: binding, ie: reactcomponent: { component: MyComponent, props: { ... } }
  • Use the value: binding, pointing to a prepopulated object on your viewmodel, ie: value: componentArgs
• See the /src/kendo/app-demo.ts example code

The reactcomponent binding component argument must be a property on the viewmodel. Kendo doesn't allow binding to arbitrary values from, say, window scope, where components may live.

Knockout with React

Uses code copied from ideas.js in https://github.com/lelandrichardson/knockout-react/
Use /public/javascript/knockout/reactHandler.js

Durandal with React

I haven't written one yet, but a project exists for this here: https://github.com/bshorrosh/Durandal-React-Sample

Aurelia with React

I haven't written one yet, but a blog post with instructions for this is here: http://ilikekillnerds.com/2015/03/how-to-use-react-js-in-aurelia/

Why?

Because React is awesome and it's one of the few things that can pull off a feat like this. Because packaging a React component is easier than packaging components for many other frameworks.
