patternplate transform creating markup from react components.

Installation

Transformation

Input

  module.exports = React.createClass({
    displayName: 'MyAwesomePattern',
    render: function() {
      return React.createElement('div', {className: 'my-awesome-pattern'}, 'My awesome Pattern.');
    }
  });

Output

  <!-- default settings -->
  <div class="my-awesome-pattern">
    My awesome Pattern
  </div>

  <!-- with static rendering disabled -->
  <div class="my-awesome-pattern" react-id=".cd5akchxj4.1.0">
    My awesome Pattern
  </div>


  <!-- with automount enabled -->
  <div data-mountpoint>
    <div class="my-awesome-pattern" react-id=".cd5akchxj4.1.0">
      My awesome Pattern
    </div>
  </div>

Configuration

Install patternplate-transform-react-to-markup, patternplate-transform-react, react and react-dom in your patternplate project. patternplate-server currently ships with patternplate-transform-react working on *.jsx and *.html files by default.

Parameters

// configuration/patternplate-server/transforms.js
module.exports = {
  "react-to-markup": {
    "opts": {
      "automount": false, // ignore any js files and mount the component as live React component on the frontend, implies static: false
      "static": true // render static markup without react-ids
    }
  }
}

Component auto mounting

patternplate-transform-react-to-markup is capable of rendering output needed for automatic mounting of react components. To enable this globally for your project specify

// configuration/patternplate-server/transforms.js
module.exports = {
  "react-to-markup": {
    "opts": {
      "automount": true
    }
  }
}

To enable auto mounting on a per pattern basis specify

// patterns/my-awesome-pattern/package.json
{
  "name": "my-awesome-pattern",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "options": {
    "react-to-markup": {
      "opts": {
        "automount": true
      }
    }
  }
}

React version interoperability

patternplate-transform-react-to-markup provides interoperability with react 0.13 and 0.14. The decision making on the used call happens according to these rules:

if React.version gte 0.14
  if require.resolve('react-dom') fails
    warn
    use React.render
  else if require.resolve('react') succeeds
    use ReactDOM.render
else
  use React.render

This means you can use react with and without react-dom - you'll see a warning with react >= 0.14, though:

[ ⚠ External Deprecation ⚠ ] React version 0.14.7 deprecated React.renderToString and moved it to react-dom/server's renderToString, but react-dom is not available via require.resolve. Consider installing react-dom.
