Elmish-React: React extensions for fable-elmish applications.

Installation

npm install --save react react-dom
npm install --save-dev fable-core fable-powerpack fable-elmish fable-react fable-elmish-react

Add a reference to the assemblies in the package folders (e.g. node_modules/fable-elmish/Fable.Elmish.dll).

App component

React application needs a root component to be rendered at the specified placeholder:

Usage:

open Elmish.React

Program.mkProgram init update view
|> Program.withReact "placehoder" // 
|> Program.run

ReactNative:

Usage:

open Elmish.ReactNative

Program.mkProgram init update view
|> Program.withReactNative "awesome" // app component id, should match the react-native CLI-generated native package id
|> Program.run

in index.ios.js and index.android.js:

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import * as app from './out/App';

Lazy views

Rendering of any view can be optimizied by avoiding the DOM reconciliation and skipping the DOM construction entierly if there are no changes in the model. Can be used by both React and ReactNative applications.

lazyView can be used with equattable models (most F# core types: records, tuples,etc).

lazyViewWith can be used with types that don't implement equality constraint, such us types/instances coming from JS libraries, by passing the custom equal function that compares the previous and the new models.

Usage:

open Elmish.React

lazyView view model
lazyView2 view model dispatch
lazyView3 view model1 model2 dispatch
