fbreactor

FB Reactor for React JS

A simple, super fast scaffolding tool for Facebook's React JS framework. Within seconds you can create a full React project structure with stubbed out component files.

Install

Good old npm:

npm install -g fbreactor

CLI Usage:

Create new reactorfile

All configuration is driven off of reactorfile.js. This is kept in your project root directory and specifies settings like the source root for React framework.

fbreactor create reactorfile

This creates a standard reactorfile with your React source directory at /src.

fbreactor create reactorfile --basedir /app

Creates a reactorfile with /app as your Reactor root.

Create React framework structure

Use create framework to build the initial structure for React components.

fbreactor create framework

If you are using a standard reactorfile, this will result in the following directories being created:

• /src
  • /components
  • /stores
  • /actions
  • /libs
  • /mixins

If you have specified something different for you React root then src will be replaced with that.

Creating new components

This is comething you'll be doing for the life of the project. Whenever you need a completely new component in React, it requires creating many files and a ton of copy/paste/remove. Not anymore!

fbreactor create component --name MyThing

This will create a new Component, Store, Action, and Lib for your component called MyThing.

• /src
  • /components
    • my_thing.jsx
  • /stores
    • my_thing.js
  • /actions
    • my_thing.js
  • /libs
    • my_thing.js
  • /mixins

Generated component my_thing.jsx

/** @jsx React.DOM */
var React = require('react'),
    Fluxxor = require('fluxxor'),
    FluxChildMixin = Fluxxor.FluxMixin(React),
    StoreWatchMixin = Fluxxor.StoreWatchMixin;

var MyThingComponent = React.createClass({

    mixins: [FluxChildMixin, StoreWatchMixin("MyThingStore")],

    getInitialState: function() {
        return {};
    },

    getStateFromFlux: function() {
        return {
            MyThingStore: flux.store("MyThingStore").getState()
        };
    },

    render: function() {
        return (
            <div>Nothing here yet...</div>
        );
    }
});

module.exports = MyThingComponent;
