Every project uses a different system for building and deploying JavaScript. We've tried to make React as environment-agnostic as possible.
React
CDN-hosted React
We provide CDN-hosted versions of React on our download page. These prebuilt files use the UMD module format. Dropping them in with a simple <script> tag will inject a React global into your environment. It should also work out-of-the-box in CommonJS and AMD environments.
Using master
We have instructions for building from master in our GitHub repository. We build a tree of CommonJS modules under build/modules which you can drop into any environment or packaging tool that supports CommonJS.
JSX
In-browser JSX Transform
If you like using JSX, we provide an in-browser JSX transformer for development on our download page. Simply include a <script type="text/jsx"> tag to engage the JSX transformer. Be sure to include the /** @jsx React.DOM */ comment as well, otherwise the transformer will not run the transforms.
Note:
The in-browser JSX transformer is fairly large and results in extraneous computation client-side that can be avoided. Do not use it in production — see the next section.
Productionizing: Precompiled JSX
If you have npm, you can simply run npm install -g react-tools to install our command-line jsx tool. This tool will translate files that use JSX syntax to plain JavaScript files that can run directly in the browser. It will also watch directories for you and automatically transform files when they are changed; for example: jsx --watch src/ build/. Run jsx --help for more information on how to use this tool.
Helpful Open-Source Projects
The open-source community has built tools that integrate JSX with several build systems.
- reactify - use JSX with browserify
- grunt-react - grunt task for JSX
- require-jsx - use JSX with require.js
- pyReact - use JSX with Python
- react-rails - use JSX with Ruby on Rails
React Page
To get started on a new project, you can use react-page, a complete React project creator. It supports both server-side and client-side rendering, source transform and packaging JSX files using CommonJS modules, and instant reload.
