Add guide on integrating with non-react code #9316

wacii · 2017-04-02T05:02:11Z

One of the guides requested in #8060.

Discusses how to integrate with jQuery plugins in the abstract then provides a concrete example with Chosen. Moves on to Backbone, specifically how to render React components from Backbone views and two ways to consume Backbone models and collections from React.

Using Backbone views that way is not something I have done before. So hopefully I got that right.

Could you add a one-paragraph summary for this page? Something that says that React can be used in any application, and summarizing two methods below.

+This does not mean it is impossible or even necessarily difficult to combine React with other ways of affecting the DOM, you just have to be mindful of what each are doing.
+
+The easiest way to avoid conflicts is to prevent the React component from updating. This can be done explicitly by returning false from [`componentWillUpdate()`](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/react-component.html#componentwillupdate), or by rendering elements that have no reason to change.


Minor nit: please remove https://facebook.github.io from all links so that they stay relative to the root. This way they will resolve locally.

+  }
+
+  componentWillUnmount() {
+    // cleanup


Maybe let's omit it here if we're not showing anything. Or make "cleanup" more descriptive.

A typical jQuery plugin might get cleaned up with $el.somePlugin("destroy") or similar.

Also, is it worth having the ref callback just save the element onto the class instance, and creating the jQuery wrapper in componentDidMount, for clarity?

Couldn't remember if somePlugin('destroy') was standard or not. That works out well as I wanted to mention the issue in the code without cluttering it with a full explanation.

As to saving the element instead of the wrapped element on the component, I'm not sure. Anyone familiar with jQuery will know the $variableName convention, and it is more performant to wrap it once. But jQuery isn't used nearly as much anymore, so is this still safe to assume? Should I go further and use jQuery(el) instead of $(el)?

Various plugin libs have their own setup/destroy approaches, but I think $el.somePlugin("destroy") is a typical and clear enough example that it should go in there.

Using $ is absolutely clear, I'm just suggesting to do that as a separate step in componentDidMount so it's not kind of 'buried" in the ref callback. It'll also help illustrate that the normal use for a callback ref is to save the reference to the real DOM node.

Ah. Do it in two steps. Sure. That is certainly neater.

Yeah, just:

componentDidMount() { this.$el = $(this.el); this.$el.somePlugin(); } render() { return <div ref={el => this.el = el} /> }

Or something along that line.

gaearon · 2017-04-02T12:43:44Z

docs/docs/integrating-with-other-libraries.md

+
+To demonstrate these concepts let's write a minimal wrapper for the plugin [Chosen](https://github.com/harvesthq/chosen), which augments `<select>` inputs.
+
+Chosen does not render the initial select, so it is up to React to do so. What it does do is hide actual select and create its own control, notifying the original of changes using jQuery. Because it is Chosen maintaining the state, it is easiest to implement the wrapper using an [uncontrolled component.](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/uncontrolled-components.html)


"What it does do" reads heavily, can we rephrase?

Nit: capitalize backbone.

And React :)

It would be great to make the intro paragraph less about Backbone specifically, to make it clear the same applies to wrapping a React component in any imperative API. Maybe we could rename sections into "Integrating with DOM Manipulation Plugins" and "Integrating with Other View Libraries", explain the general idea in first paragraph of each, and then make jQuery and Backbone examples subheadings in them.

For people unfamiliar with Backbone, worth adding a comment here that notes that in Backbone, render runs once and is responsible for constructing the DOM tree.

I added a section about rendering with strings/templates so the render function doesn't come out of nowhere. Not sure if that's enough.

shouldComponentUpdate instead of componentWillUpdate?

markerikson · 2017-04-02T17:55:18Z

This is a great PR! Valuable topic, and some good examples.

For additional reference info: my React/Redux links list has a section on wrapping non-React code, and I recently wrote a post showing how to use React components to control a 3D globe library (which doesn't even generate DOM elements, just draws to a WebGL canvas).

selbekk · 2017-04-02T20:06:43Z

Amazing work!

wacii · 2017-04-03T01:22:34Z

Think I got all the little things. Added some sections to make the guide a bit more general. Those are more of a first draft. I will come back and polish in a couple days. If I linger now I'll just end up tinkering.

+  }
+}
+```
+A [ref](/react/docs/refs-and-the-dom.html) is used to pass the underlying DOM element to the plugin. The `<div>` element has no properties or children, so React has no reason to update it.


Worth highlighting this a bit somehow. The key is that rendering a consistent set of elements each time means React won't be trying to make changes, so a lib that does modify the DOM can get away with it and not clash with React applying updates.

Think I addressed all issues. Pens still need to be updated though.

+const model = new Backbone.Model({ text: 'Sam' }); 
+const handleChange = event => model.set('text', event.target.value);
+
+<WrappedInput model={model} handleChange={handleChange} />


Can you still provide a whole example here? It’s fine to have a Demo component rendering WrappedInput. The only essential part is WrappedInput assignment should happen outside that component. (And you’d need to update the codepen too).

wacii · 2017-04-20T17:18:46Z

Updated the pens and gave the guide another pass.

For the Chosen example, I tried explaining the plugin in more detail and pulling back on how closely it was integrated with the React wrapper.

Are the pens expected to be exact copies of the code examples? I generally try adding a bit extra, both to take advantage of interaction and to demonstrate concepts I couldn't fit into the discussion.

gaearon · 2017-04-20T17:27:51Z

Are the pens expected to be exact copies of the code examples?

If inline code is a strict non-interrupting substring of the codepen it’s fine (e.g. we often skip the last ReactDOM.render even though it’s useful in this particular case).

It’s confusing if they have conflicting content though.

wacii · 2017-04-21T01:41:55Z

Alright then. The code examples and pens are basically the same now.

gaearon · 2017-04-26T14:01:17Z

I still think the Chosen section is problematic.
As a reader I would expect this to work, but it doesn't:

http://codepen.io/gaearon/pen/zwoVaY?editors=0011

(See two render calls at the bottom.)

wacii · 2017-04-26T16:09:22Z

Yeah, I had that working before, but Chosen acts strangely when you reset options after already selecting something, so I removed it. I'll look for another plugin to use.

gaearon · 2017-04-26T16:23:43Z

I slightly rewrote it for now so that changing the child options still works. Feel free to send further PRs to replace the example if you think it would be better. Great work! 👍

@acdlite

In order to ensure consistency between the 15-stable and 15.6 branches, we found all the diffs present only in 15-stable and cherry-picked them onto 15.6-dev. These are 100% documentation updates, which is why we didn't bother cherry-picking them in the first place, but having them on the 15.6-dev branch makes the two branches more consistent and that is better. Nobody will accidentally see outdated docs on the 15.6-dev branch these diffs won't somehow be lost or overwritten when we combine the branches to release 15.6. Test Plan: Manually tested the docs, looking at many of the updated pages. Also ran all tests etc. Changelog below: --- * Fix the proptypes deprecation warning url on the "Don't Call PropTypes Warning" doc page (#9419) * Use the same prop-types link on the warning docs page as the main proptypes doc page * Link to repo instead * Docs: Clarification of setState() behavior (#9329) * Clarification of setState() behavior `setState()` is a frequent source of confusion for people new to React, and I believe part of that is due to minimization of the impact of the asynchronous behavior of `setState()` in the documentation. This revision is an attempt to clarify that behavior. For motivation and justification, see [setState Gate](https://medium.com/javascript-scene/setstate-gate-abc10a9b2d82). * Update reference-react-component.md * Signature fix * Update to address @acdlite concerns * Add more details * Update proptypes doc (#9391) * Update proptypes doc * Removed note * Add tabs to installation page (#9275, #9277) (#9401) * Add tabs to installation page (#9275, #9277) This adds tabs for create-react-app and existing apps to the installation section of the docs. The tab implementation is a simplified version of React Native's installation page. Fixes #9275. * Use classList instead of className * Use same implementation as in RN * Refractor docs to indicate that state set to props in constructor will not recieve the updated props (#9404) * Switch Installation to a tab when hash is present (#9422) * Updated the Good First Bug section in readme (#9429) * Updated the Good First Bug section in readme * Inconsistent use of quotes.

		This does not mean it is impossible or even necessarily difficult to combine React with other ways of affecting the DOM, you just have to be mindful of what each are doing.

		The easiest way to avoid conflicts is to prevent the React component from updating. This can be done explicitly by returning false from [`componentWillUpdate()`](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/react-component.html#componentwillupdate), or by rendering elements that have no reason to change.


		To demonstrate these concepts let's write a minimal wrapper for the plugin [Chosen](https://github.com/harvesthq/chosen), which augments `<select>` inputs.

		Chosen does not render the initial select, so it is up to React to do so. What it does do is hide actual select and create its own control, notifying the original of changes using jQuery. Because it is Chosen maintaining the state, it is easiest to implement the wrapper using an [uncontrolled component.](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/uncontrolled-components.html)


		### Embedding React in a Backbone View

		Creating a backbone wrapper around a react component is easy thanks to the flexibility of `ReactDOM.render()`. While a typical application usually calls the `render` method just once, it may be called repeatedly to update props or to create multiple component trees.
