* BUG: ReactPartialRenderer / New Context polutes mutable global state The new context API stores the provided values on the shared context instance. When used in a synchronous context, this is not an issue. However when used in an concurrent context this can cause a "push provider" from one react render to have an effect on an unrelated concurrent react render. I've encountered this bug in production when using renderToNodeStream, which asks ReactPartialRenderer for bytes up to a high water mark before yielding. If two Node Streams are created and read from in parallel, the state of one can polute the other. I wrote a failing test to illustrate the conditions under which this happens. I'm also concerned that the experimental concurrent/async React rendering on the client could suffer from the same issue. * Use unique thread ID for each partial render to access Context This first adds an allocator that keeps track of a unique ThreadID index for each currently executing partial renderer. IDs are not just growing but are reused as streams are destroyed. This ensures that IDs are kept nice and compact. This lets us use an "array" for each Context object to store the current values. The look up for these are fast because they're just looking up an offset in a tightly packed "array". I don't use an actual Array object to store the values. Instead, I rely on that VMs (notably V8) treat storage of numeric index property access as a separate "elements" allocation. This lets us avoid an extra indirection. However, we must ensure that these arrays are not holey to preserve this feature. To do that I store the _threadCount on each context (effectively it takes the place of the .length property on an array). This lets us first validate that the context has enough slots before we access the slot. If not, we fill in the slots with the default value.
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.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Online Playgrounds to get a taste of React.
- Add React to a Website as a
<script>tag in one minute. - Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.
Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
class HelloMessage extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div>Hello {this.props.name}</div>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />,
document.getElementById('container')
);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" 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. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
