jsoo-react

Actions Status

Bindings to React for js_of_ocaml, including the JSX ppx.

Status: experimental phase

The library is expected to break backwards compatibility on minor releases.

Adapted from ReasonReact.

Bug reports and contributions are welcome!

Getting started

New project

For new projects, the best way to start is by using the jsoo-react template.

Existing project

  1. Install the jsoo-react package:

    opam install jsoo-react
  2. Add jsoo-react library and ppx to dune file of your executable JavaScript app:

        (executables
        (names index)
        (modes js)
        (libraries jsoo-react.lib)
        (preprocess
        (pps jsoo-react.ppx)))
  3. Provision React.js library

    jsoo-react uses require to import React and ReactDOM. This means that you will likely need to use a bundler such as Webpack or rollup.js.

    Note that at this moment, jsoo-react is compatible with React 16, so be sure to have the appropriate constraints in your package.json.
