The theme of this first round-up of 2014 is integration. I've tried to assemble a list of articles and projects that use React in various environments.
|

## React Baseline
|
||
|
|
||
|
React is only one-piece of your web application stack. [Mark Lussier](https://github.com/intabulas) shared his baseline stack that uses React along with Grunt, Browserify, Bower, Zepto, Director and Sass. This should help you get started using React for a new project.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> As I do more projects with ReactJS I started to extract a baseline to use when starting new projects. This is very opinionated and I change my opinion from time to time. This is by no ways perfect and in your opinion most likely wrong :).. which is why I love github
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> I encourage you to fork, and make it right and submit a pull request!
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> My current opinion is using tools like Grunt, Browserify, Bower and mutiple grunt plugins to get the job done. I also opted for Zepto over jQuery and the Flatiron Project's Director when I need a router. Oh and for the last little bit of tech that makes you mad, I am in the SASS camp when it comes to stylesheets

## Animal Sounds
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Josh Duck](http://joshduck.com/) used React in order to build a Windows 8 tablet app. This is a good example of a touch app written in React.

## React Rails Tutorial
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Selem Delul](http://selem.im) bundled the [React Tutorial](http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html) into a rails app. This is a good example on how to get started with a rails project.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> ```
|
||
|
git clone https://github.com/necrodome/react-rails-tutorial
|
||
|
cd react-rails-tutorial
|
||
|
bundle install
|
||
|
rake db:migrate
|
||
|
rails s
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
> Then visit http://localhost:3000/app to see the React application that is explained in the React Tutorial. Try opening multiple tabs!

## Mixing with Backbone
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Eldar Djafarov](http://eldar.djafarov.com/) implemented a mixin to link Backbone models to React state and a small abstraction to write two-way binding on-top.

## React Infinite Scroll
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Guillaume Rivals](https://twitter.com/guillaumervls) implemented an InfiniteScroll component. This is a good example of a React component that has a simple yet powerful API.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
<InfiniteScroll
|
||
|
pageStart={0}
|
||
|
loadMore={loadFunc}
|
||
|
hasMore={true || false}
|
||
|
loader={<div className="loader">Loading ...</div>}>
|
||
|
{items} // <-- This is the "stuff" you want to load
|
||
|
</InfiniteScroll>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|

## Web Components Style
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Thomas Aylott](http://subtlegradient.com/) implemented an API that looks like Web Components but using React underneath.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<iframe width="100%" height="300" src="http://jsfiddle.net/SubtleGradient/ue2Aa/embedded/html,js,result" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0"></iframe>

## React vs Angular
|
||
|
|
||
|
React is often compared with Angular. [Pete Hunt](http://skulbuny.com/2013/10/31/react-vs-angular/) wrote an opinionated post on the subject.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> First of all I think it’s important to evaluate technologies on objective rather than subjective features. “It feels nicer” or “it’s cleaner” aren’t valid reasons: performance, modularity, community size and ease of testing / integration with other tools are.
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> I’ve done a lot of work benchmarking, building apps, and reading the code of Angular to try to come up with a reasonable comparison between their ways of doing things.
