<p>We'll be building a simple, but realistic comments box that you can drop into a blog, a basic version of the realtime comments offered by Disqus, LiveFyre or Facebook comments.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We'll provide:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A view of all of the comments</li>
|
|
<li>A form to submit a comment</li>
|
|
<li>Hooks for you to provide a custom backend</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>It'll also have a few neat features:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Optimistic commenting:</strong> comments appear in the list before they're saved on the server so it feels fast.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Live updates:</strong> as other users comment we'll pop them into the comment view in real time</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Markdown formatting:</strong> users can use Markdown to format their text</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
<p>For this tutorial we'll use prebuilt JavaScript files on a CDN. Open up your favorite editor and create a new HTML document:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="c"><!-- template.html --></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><html></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><head></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><title></span>Hello React<span class="nt"></title></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://fb.me/react-0.11.1.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://fb.me/JSXTransformer-0.11.1.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.0.min.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|

|
|
<span class="nt"><body></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><div</span> <span class="na">id=</span><span class="s">"content"</span><span class="nt">></div></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">type=</span><span class="s">"text/jsx"</span><span class="nt">></span>
|
|
<span class="cm">/** @jsx React.DOM */</span>
|
|
<span class="c1">// The above declaration must remain intact at the top of the script.</span>
|
|
<span class="c1">// Your code here</span>
|
|
<span class="nt"></script></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"></body></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"></html></span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>For the remainder of this tutorial, we'll be writing our JavaScript code in this script tag.</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Note:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We included jQuery here because we want to simplify the code of our future ajax calls, but it's <strong>NOT</strong> mandatory for React to work.</p>
|

|
<h3><a class="anchor" name="your-first-component"></a>Your first component <a class="hash-link" href="#your-first-component">#</a></h3>
|
|
<p>React is all about modular, composable components. For our comment box example, we'll have the following component structure:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-text" data-lang="text">- CommentBox
|
|
- CommentList
|
|
- Comment
|
|
- CommentForm
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>Let's build the <code>CommentBox</code> component, which is just a simple <code><div></code>:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial1.js</span>
|
|
<span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">CommentBox</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">createClass</span><span class="p">({</span>
|
|
<span class="nx">render</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="kd">function</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
|
|
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="p">(</span>
|
|
<span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">div</span> <span class="nx">className</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"commentBox"</span><span class="o">></span>
|
|
<span class="nx">Hello</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">world</span><span class="o">!</span> <span class="nx">I</span> <span class="nx">am</span> <span class="nx">a</span> <span class="nx">CommentBox</span><span class="p">.</span>
|
|
<span class="o"><</span><span class="err">/div></span>
|
|
<span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|
|
<span class="p">});</span>
|
|
<span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">renderComponent</span><span class="p">(</span>
|
|
<span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">CommentBox</span> <span class="o">/></span><span class="p">,</span>
|
|
<span class="nb">document</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">getElementById</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'content'</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
|
<span class="p">);</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div><h4><a class="anchor" name="jsx-syntax"></a>JSX Syntax <a class="hash-link" href="#jsx-syntax">#</a></h4>
|
|
<p>The first thing you'll notice is the XML-ish syntax in your JavaScript. We have a simple precompiler that translates the syntactic sugar to this plain JavaScript:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial1-raw.js</span>
|
|
<span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">CommentBox</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">createClass</span><span class="p">({</span><span class="nx">displayName</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s1">'CommentBox'</span><span class="p">,</span>
|
|
<span class="nx">render</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="kd">function</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>

<p>We pass some methods in a JavaScript object to <code>React.createClass()</code> to create a new React component. The most important of these methods is called <code>render</code> which returns a tree of React components that will eventually render to HTML.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code><div></code> tags are not actual DOM nodes; they are instantiations of React <code>div</code> components. You can think of these as markers or pieces of data that React knows how to handle. React is <strong>safe</strong>. We are not generating HTML strings so XSS protection is the default.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You do not have to return basic HTML. You can return a tree of components that you (or someone else) built. This is what makes React <strong>composable</strong>: a key tenet of maintainable frontends.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>React.renderComponent()</code> instantiates the root component, starts the framework, and injects the markup into a raw DOM element, provided as the second argument.</p>

<p>Next, update the <code>CommentBox</code> component to use its new friends:</p>

|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>Notice how we're mixing HTML tags and components we've built. HTML components are regular React components, just like the ones you define, with one difference. The JSX compiler will automatically rewrite HTML tags to "React.DOM.tagName" expressions and leave everything else alone. This is to prevent the pollution of the global namespace.</p>

<p>Let's create our third component, <code>Comment</code>. We will want to pass it the author name and comment text so we can reuse the same code for each unique comment. First let's add some comments to the <code>CommentList</code>:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial4.js</span>
|
|
<span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">CommentList</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">createClass</span><span class="p">({</span>

<span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|
|
<span class="p">});</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>Note that we have passed some data from the parent <code>CommentList</code> component to the child <code>Comment</code> components. For example, we passed <em>Pete Hunt</em> (via an attribute) and <em>This is one comment</em> (via an XML-like child node) to the first <code>Comment</code>. Data passed from parent to children components is called <strong>props</strong>, short for properties.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="anchor" name="using-props"></a>Using props <a class="hash-link" href="#using-props">#</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Let's create the Comment component. Using <strong>props</strong> we will be able to read the data passed to it from the <code>CommentList</code>, and render some markup:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial5.js</span>

<span class="p">);</span>

<span class="p">});</span>

</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>By surrounding a JavaScript expression in braces inside JSX (as either an attribute or child), you can drop text or React components into the tree. We access named attributes passed to the component as keys on <code>this.props</code> and any nested elements as <code>this.props.children</code>.</p>

<h3><a class="anchor" name="adding-markdown"></a>Adding Markdown <a class="hash-link" href="#adding-markdown">#</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Markdown is a simple way to format your text inline. For example, surrounding text with asterisks will make it emphasized.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>First, add the third-party <strong>Showdown</strong> library to your application. This is a JavaScript library which takes Markdown text and converts it to raw HTML. This requires a script tag in your head (which we have already included in the React playground):</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="c"><!-- template.html --></span>
|
|
<span class="nt"><head></span>
|
|

|
|
<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://fb.me/react-0.11.1.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|

<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://fb.me/JSXTransformer-0.11.1.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>

<span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.0.min.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|
|
<span class="hll"> <span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/showdown/0.3.1/showdown.min.js"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>
|
|
</span><span class="nt"></head></span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>Next, let's convert the comment text to Markdown and output it:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial6.js</span>

<span class="p">{</span><span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">props</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">author</span><span class="p">}</span>

|
<span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|
|
<span class="p">});</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>All we're doing here is calling the Showdown library. We need to convert <code>this.props.children</code> from React's wrapped text to a raw string that Showdown will understand so we explicitly call <code>toString()</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But there's a problem! Our rendered comments look like this in the browser: "<code><p></code>This is <code><em></code>another<code></em></code> comment<code></p></code>". We want those tags to actually render as HTML.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That's React protecting you from an XSS attack. There's a way to get around it but the framework warns you not to use it:</p>

<p>This is a special API that intentionally makes it difficult to insert raw HTML, but for Showdown we'll take advantage of this backdoor.</p>
|

<p><strong>Remember:</strong> by using this feature you're relying on Showdown to be secure.</p>

<h3><a class="anchor" name="fetching-from-the-server"></a>Fetching from the server <a class="hash-link" href="#fetching-from-the-server">#</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Let's replace the hard-coded data with some dynamic data from the server. We will remove the data prop and replace it with a URL to fetch:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial11.js</span>
|
|
<span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">renderComponent</span><span class="p">(</span>
|
|
<span class="hll"> <span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">CommentBox</span> <span class="nx">url</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"comments.json"</span> <span class="o">/></span><span class="p">,</span>
|
|
</span> <span class="nb">document</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">getElementById</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'content'</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
|
<span class="p">);</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>This component is different from the prior components because it will have to re-render itself. The component won't have any data until the request from the server comes back, at which point the component may need to render some new comments.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="anchor" name="reactive-state"></a>Reactive state <a class="hash-link" href="#reactive-state">#</a></h3>
|
|
<p>So far, each component has rendered itself once based on its props. <code>props</code> are immutable: they are passed from the parent and are "owned" by the parent. To implement interactions, we introduce mutable <strong>state</strong> to the component. <code>this.state</code> is private to the component and can be changed by calling <code>this.setState()</code>. When the state is updated, the component re-renders itself.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>render()</code> methods are written declaratively as functions of <code>this.props</code> and <code>this.state</code>. The framework guarantees the UI is always consistent with the inputs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When the server fetches data, we will be changing the comment data we have. Let's add an array of comment data to the <code>CommentBox</code> component as its state:</p>

|

|

<p><code>getInitialState()</code> executes exactly once during the lifecycle of the component and sets up the initial state of the component.</p>
|
|
<h4><a class="anchor" name="updating-state"></a>Updating state <a class="hash-link" href="#updating-state">#</a></h4>
|
|
<p>When the component is first created, we want to GET some JSON from the server and update the state to reflect the latest data. In a real application this would be a dynamic endpoint, but for this example, we will use a static JSON file to keep things simple:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="c1">// tutorial13.json</span>
|
|
<span class="p">[</span>
|
|
<span class="p">{</span><span class="s2">"author"</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s2">"Pete Hunt"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">"text"</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s2">"This is one comment"</span><span class="p">},</span>
|
|
<span class="p">{</span><span class="s2">"author"</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s2">"Jordan Walke"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">"text"</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s2">"This is *another* comment"</span><span class="p">}</span>
|
|
<span class="p">]</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>We'll use jQuery to help make an asynchronous request to the server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: because this is becoming an AJAX application you'll need to develop your app using a web server rather than as a file sitting on your file system. The easiest way to do this is to run <code>python -m SimpleHTTPServer</code> in your application's directory.</p>

<p>Here, <code>componentDidMount</code> is a method called automatically by React when a component is rendered. The key to dynamic updates is the call to <code>this.setState()</code>. We replace the old array of comments with the new one from the server and the UI automatically updates itself. Because of this reactivity, it is only a minor change to add live updates. We will use simple polling here but you could easily use WebSockets or other technologies.</p>

|
|
<p>React attaches event handlers to components using a camelCase naming convention. We attach an <code>onSubmit</code> handler to the form that clears the form fields when the form is submitted with valid input.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We always return <code>false</code> from the event handler to prevent the browser's default action of submitting the form. (If you prefer, you can instead take the event as an argument and call <code>preventDefault()</code> on it.)</p>
|
|
<h5><a class="anchor" name="refs"></a>Refs <a class="hash-link" href="#refs">#</a></h5>
|
|
<p>We use the <code>ref</code> attribute to assign a name to a child component and <code>this.refs</code> to reference the component. We can call <code>getDOMNode()</code> on a component to get the native browser DOM element.</p>
|
|
<h5><a class="anchor" name="callbacks-as-props"></a>Callbacks as props <a class="hash-link" href="#callbacks-as-props">#</a></h5>
|
|
<p>When a user submits a comment, we will need to refresh the list of comments to include the new one. It makes sense to do all of this logic in <code>CommentBox</code> since <code>CommentBox</code> owns the state that represents the list of comments.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We need to pass data from the child component back up to its parent. We do this in our parent's <code>render</code> method by passing a new callback (<code>handleCommentSubmit</code>) into the child, binding it to the child's <code>onCommentSubmit</code> event. Whenever the event is triggered, the callback will be invoked:</p>
