Description
Hello!
Here, y'all recommend an approach for integrating Backbone models and collections with React and include a code snippet for doing so.
Luckily, this functionality has been achieved using a HoC (like the snippet recommends) in a simple, tested library created by MongoDB called connect-backbone-to-react
. We and they (and probably others) have been using the library in production with great success (in our case, for over 6 months).
Recommending connect-backbone-to-react
would help devs and projects new to React get up-and-running with React+Backbone quickly and easily. Rather than building their own integration library, they could simply use one that already exists. Also, by centralizing on a solution, the community could collaborate to make the migration from Backbone to React easier and safer for everyone.
connect-backbone-to-react
additionally offers a Redux-like provider in BackboneProvider
, that many folks may find useful.
Happy to submit a PR to update the docs :). Wanted to check in to get y'all's thoughts first.
