ReactView
Install
npm install -g reactview
Usage
This is the perfect tool for prototyping React components. Instead of setting up webpack to convert ES6 features or setup a server, it's as easy as:
reactview component.jsx
It'll automagically compile it using webpack and babel, then start a server and open your browser.
Optionally, you can specify the port as the second argument: reactview component.jsx 8000
It will also read json from stdin and pass them in as component props, eg:
cat props.json | reactview example.jsx
Example
The example component looks like:
import React from 'react'
import Test from './test.css'
export default class Woah extends React.Component{
render(){
return <div className="test">this is sick</div>
}
}
No need to add React.render. CSS importing is also included.
How do I set what gets rendered?
You need to specify export default on the component you want rendered.
In 0.5.2, you can explicitly pass the component / class name you want
rendered: reactview component.jsx ComponentName.
Useful if you're importing components and there are multiple exports.
Contributing
To modify reactview, take a look at src/reactview.js. After making changes you'll need to do
npm run build then npm install . -g if you're wanting to access it without doing node bin/reactview.js
Todos
- passing props like
--props {test: 'value'} - allow .js files to be compiled (only .jsx is supported now)
- display error if component doesn't have a default export
- whatever you send in a pull request
