react-for-atom

Singleton lazy loading wrapper around facebook/react.

A single instance of React

React does not currently co-exist well with other instances of React in the same environment (see #3252, #2402).

We propose that Atom package developers wanting to use React require this package instead of other variants of React. react-for-atom exports React, ReactDOM, and all of React's addons.

Using CommonJS

const {
  createFragment,
  CSSTransitionGroup,
  LinkedStateMixin,
  Perf,
  PureRenderMixin,
  React,
  ReactDOM,
  ReactDOMServer,
  shallowCompare,
  TestUtils,
  TransitionGroup,
  update,
} = require('react-for-atom');
 
// optional
const {PropTypes} = React;

Using (babel transpiled) ES Modules

// React is the default export
import React, {
  ReactDOM,
  TestUtils,
  // addons...
} from 'react-for-atom';
 
// Or, it's also available as a named export
import {
  React,
  ReactDOM,
  TestUtils,
  // addons...
} from 'react-for-atom';

We plan to closely track the React release cycle in order to be able to use the latest features as well as provide access to React API warnings (in atom --dev mode).

Lazy loading

Only when a property is looked up on the react-for-atom export is that module actually require'd.

const ReactForAtom = require('react-for-atom');
 
// `react` is actually required here
const {React} = ReactForAtom;
 
// `TestUtils` is actually required here
const {TestUtils} = ReactForAtom;

Versioning

Prior to 0.14.6, react-for-atom version numbers were loosely related to the React version in dependencies. From that version onward, the version of react-for-atom matches the React version.

Changes to react-for-atom are reflected in pre-release versions (e.g. 0.14.6-1). From a semver perspective, this doesn't make sense. However, because you should pin the version of react-for-atom anyway, this is a clear workaround for conveying React versioning info.
