Is there a way to use React components natively in mint?

[mrjones2014]

I have a robust Rich Text Editor component I built over a long time in React, I'm wondering if it's possible to use my React rich text editor in Mint natively.

Mint looks awesome and I'm really excited to try it out!

It's not trivial but it can be done, you will need to have a custom build for it:

1. You need to change the runtime to include your component under the Mint global object (https://github.com/mint-lang/mint-runtime/blob/master/source/Main.js#L46 MyComponent: MyComponent)
2. Build the runtime.js file and copy it into the code of the compiler https://github.com/mint-lang/mint/blob/master/src/assets/runtime.js
3. Expose a reference to the component in the wrap_runtime method (const MyComponent = mint.MyComponent)
4. Build the mint binary
5. You can use your component using the reference and inline JavaScript _h(MyComponent, props, children)

A way to interoperate with NPM will be possible before 1.0.

@gdotdesign thanks! I'll close this issue then.
