We currently write all our tests against the DOM implementation.
I need a way to run the Fiber tests against it. But I don't want
to take on any package dependencies on Fiber modules yet.
There's a problem with jest right now where you can't globally
mock modules that already exist. So I have to add a global call
to jest.mock.
Luckily we already have a way to test the useCreateElement paths
using a feature flag. I won't activate this flag in travis until
it passes, but the idea is to run all three variants in travis.
I'm not sure that invoking rAF and rIC synchronously is the best
way to test this since it doesn't capture the backwards
compatibility aspect. I.e. the fact that people might be relying
on the synchronous nature in real apps too. It's a start.
Ideally, jest would have these built-in.

React 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.
Learn how to use React in your own project.
Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
var HelloMessage = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return <div>Hello {this.props.name}</div>;
}
});
ReactDOM.render(
<HelloMessage name="John" />,
document.getElementById('container')
);
This example will render "Hello John" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. A simple transform is included with React that allows converting JSX into native JavaScript for browsers to digest.
Installation
The fastest way to get started is to serve JavaScript from a CDN. We're using unpkg below but React is also available on cdnjs and jsdelivr:
<!-- The core React library -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15.3.2/dist/react.js"></script>
<!-- The ReactDOM Library -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15.3.2/dist/react-dom.js"></script>
We've also built a starter kit which might be useful if this is your first time using React. It includes a webpage with an example of using React with live code.
If you'd like to use bower, it's as easy as:
bower install --save react
And it's just as easy with npm:
npm i --save react
