This is a boilerplate repo for using react with ES6 and browserify, and running it with gulp.
It also supports Sass compilation.
npm install
After the installation, run gulp and browse to http://localhost:8888
The compiled code can be found in dist/bundle/app.js.
- A gulpfile with livereload
- Compilation of the jsx [1]
- Compilation of ES6 to ES5 [2], [3]
import React from 'react'; // import react
class _MainSection {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Example of React with es6 and browserify</h1>
<Body />
</div>
);
}
}
export const MainSection = React.createClass(_MainSection.prototype);We can create ES6 classes, but have to export it with React.createClass [5]. Importing the created files can be done like this:
import {MainSection} from './components/MainSection.react.jsx';class _Body {
getClassName() {
return 'foo';
}
render() {
const x = 'x';
return (
<div className={`${x} ${this.getClassName()} bar`}>
Hello there!
</div>
);
}
}As you can see, you can use template literals [6] to create your classnames.
