* Allow renderers to return an update payload in prepareUpdate This then gets stored on updateQueue so that the renderer doesn't need to think about how to store this. It then gets passed into commitUpdate during the commit phase. This allows renderers to do the diffing during the time sliced path, allocate a queue for changes and do only the absolute minimal work to apply those changes in the commit phase. If refs update we still schedule and update. * Hack around the listener problem * Diff ReactDOMFiber properties in prepareUpdate We now take advantage of the new capability to diff properties early. We do this by generating an update payload in the form of an array with each property name and value that we're about to update. * Add todo for handling wasCustomComponentTag * Always force an update to wrapper components Wrapper components have custom logic that gets applied at the commit phase so we always need to ensure that we schedule an update for them. * Remove rootContainerInstance from commitMount No use case yet and I removed it from commitUpdate earlier. * Use update signal object in test renderer * Incorporate 8652 into new algorithm * Fix comment * Add failing test for flipping event handlers This illustrates the problem that happens if we store a pointer to the Fiber and then choose not to update that pointer when no properties change. That causes an old Fiber to be retained on the DOM node. Then that Fiber can be reused by the pooling mechanism which then will mutate that Fiber with new event handlers, which makes them active before commit. * Store current props in the RN instance cache and on the DOM node This represents the current set of event listeners. By not relying on the Fiber, it allows us to avoid doing any effects in the commit phase when nothing changes. This is a bit ugly. Not super happy how this all came together.
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:
class HelloMessage extends React.Component {
render() {
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. We recommend using Babel with a React preset to convert JSX into native JavaScript for browsers to digest.
Installation
React is available as the react package on npm. It is also available on a CDN.
React is flexible and can be used in a variety of projects. You can create new apps with it, but you can also gradually introduce it into an existing codebase without doing a rewrite.
The recommended way to install React depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
