React JS Starter app

A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES

JUST THE UI Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

VIRTUAL DOM React abstracts away the DOM from you, giving a simpler programming model and better performance. React can also render on the server using Node, and it can power native apps using React Native.

DATA FLOW React implements one-way reactive data flow which reduces boilerplate and is easier to reason about than traditional data binding. Topics

React JS

Creating components

var HelloWorld = React.createClass({
            render: function() {
                return (
                    <div>
                        <h1>Hello World</h1>
                        <p>This is some text</p>
                    </div>
                    );
            }
        });

        React.render(<HelloWorld />, document.body);

Event Handeling

        var Checkbox = React.createClass({
            getInitialState: function() {
                return {checked: true}
            },
            handleCheck: function() {
                this.setState({checked: !this.state.checked})
            },
            render: function() {
                var msg;
                if(this.state.checked) {
                    msg = "checked";
                }
                else {
                    msg = "unchecked";
                }
                return (

      <div>
        <div>
          <h1 class="container well">hello react</h1>
             
             <input type="checkbox"
              defaultChecked={this.state.checked} onChange={this.handleCheck}/>
                        <p>This box is {msg}.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
   );
            }
        });

        React.render(<Checkbox/>,
            document.getElementById('react-container'));
