Today we're happy to announce the initial release of
|
|
|
|
|
[ReactJS.NET](http://reactjs.net/), which makes it easier to use React and JSX
|
|
|
|
|
in .NET applications, focusing specifically on ASP.NET MVC web applications.
|
|
|
|
|
It has several purposes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- On-the-fly JSX to JavaScript compilation. Simply reference JSX files and they
|
|
|
|
|
will be compiled and cached server-side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
|
|
|
<script src="@Url.Content("/Scripts/HelloWorld.jsx")"></script>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
- JSX to JavaScript compilation via popular minification/combination libraries
|
|
|
|
|
(Cassette and ASP.NET Bundling and Minification). This is suggested for
|
|
|
|
|
production websites.
|
|
|
|
|
- Server-side component rendering to make your initial render super fast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even though we are focusing on ASP.NET MVC, ReactJS.NET can also be used in
|
|
|
|
|
Web Forms applications as well as non-web applications (for example, in build
|
|
|
|
|
scripts). ReactJS.NET currently only works on Microsoft .NET but we are working
|
|
|
|
|
on support for Linux and Mac OS X via Mono as well.
|

Installation
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
package manager console or search NuGet for "React" to install it.
