<p>The easiest way to start hacking on React is using the following JSFiddle Hello Worlds</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/vjeux/kb3gN/">React JSFiddle</a></strong></li>

<p>Download the starter kit to get started.</p>
<div class="buttons-unit downloads">
<a href="/react/downloads/react-0.8.0.zip" class="button">
Download Starter Kit 0.8.0
</a>
</div>
<p>In the root directory of the starter kit, create a <code>helloworld.html</code> with the following contents.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="html language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="cp">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span>

<span class="nt">&lt;/script&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/body&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/html&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>The XML syntax inside of JavaScript is called JSX; check out the <a href="/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html">JSX syntax</a> to learn more about it. In order to translate it to vanilla JavaScript we use <code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/jsx&quot;&gt;</code> and include <code>JSXTransformer.js</code> to actually perform the transformation in the browser.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="separate-file"></a>Separate File <a class="hash-link" href="#separate-file">#</a></h3>
<p>Your React JSX file can live in a separate file. Create the following <code>src/helloworld.js</code>.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="javascript language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="cm">/** @jsx React.DOM */</span>
<span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">renderComponent</span><span class="p">(</span>
<span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="nx">h1</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="nx">Hello</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">world</span><span class="o">!&lt;</span><span class="err">/h1&gt;,</span>
<span class="nb">document</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">getElementById</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;example&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">);</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then reference it from <code>helloworld.html</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="html language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="nt">&lt;script </span><span class="na">type=</span><span class="s">&quot;text/jsx&quot;</span> <span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">&quot;src/helloworld.js&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div><h3><a class="anchor" name="offline-transform"></a>Offline Transform <a class="hash-link" href="#offline-transform">#</a></h3>
<p>First install the command-line tools (requires <a href="http://npmjs.org/">npm</a>):</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="text language-text" data-lang="text">npm install -g react-tools
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then, translate your <code>src/helloworld.js</code> file to plain JavaScript:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="text language-text" data-lang="text">jsx --watch src/ build/
</code></pre></div>
<p>The file <code>build/helloworld.js</code> is autogenerated whenever you make a change.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="javascript language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><span class="cm">/** @jsx React.DOM */</span>
<span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">renderComponent</span><span class="p">(</span>
<span class="hll"> <span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">DOM</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">h1</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="kc">null</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Hello, world!&#39;</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">&#39;example&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">);</span>
</code></pre></div>
<blockquote>
<p>Note:</p>
<p>The comment parser is very strict right now, in order for it to pick up the <code>@jsx</code> modifier, two conditions are required. The <code>@jsx</code> comment block must be the first comment on the file. The comment must start with <code>/**</code> (<code>/*</code> and <code>//</code> will not work). If the parser can&#39;t find the <code>@jsx</code> comment, it will output the file without transforming it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Update your HTML file as below:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="html language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="cp">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;html&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;head&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;title&gt;</span>Hello React!<span class="nt">&lt;/title&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">&quot;build/react.min.js&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</span>
<span class="hll"> <span class="c">&lt;!-- No need for JSXTransformer! --&gt;</span>
</span> <span class="nt">&lt;/head&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;body&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;div</span> <span class="na">id=</span><span class="s">&quot;example&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</span>
<span class="hll"> <span class="nt">&lt;script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">&quot;build/helloworld.js&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</span>
</span> <span class="nt">&lt;/body&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/html&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div><h2><a class="anchor" name="want-commonjs"></a>Want CommonJS? <a class="hash-link" href="#want-commonjs">#</a></h2>
<p>If you want to use React within a module system, <a href="http://github.com/facebook/react">fork our repo</a>, <code>npm install</code> and run <code>grunt</code>. A nice set of CommonJS modules will be generated. Our <code>jsx</code> build tool can be integrated into most packaging systems (not just CommonJS) quite easily.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" name="next-steps"></a>Next Steps <a class="hash-link" href="#next-steps">#</a></h2>
<p>Check out <a href="/react/docs/tutorial.html">the tutorial</a> and the other examples in the <code>/examples</code> directory to learn more. Good luck, and welcome!</p>
