NestedReact is the BackboneJS compatibility layer for React-MVx - modern React MVVM application framework. It will be maintained as long as Verizon/Volicon systems will depend in the legacy technologies - BackboneJS Views and jQuery.
If you don't need to reuse BackboneJS Views in your React application - please, switch to ReactMVx.
NestedReact documentation won't be updated. Use React-MVx docs as your primary source of docs.
Feature list consists of all the features of React-MVx v2.x, plus this:
- Gradual transition procedure for backbone applications (Backbone Migration Guide):
- Complete interoperation with existing Backbone Views allowing you to reuse existing code and avoid upfront application rewrite.
- Any type of application refactoring strategy is possible - top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, and random parts at the middle.
- Support for Backbone events and jQuery accessors in React components simplifies View refactoring.
Please, use React-MVx documentation as a primary source of documentation and examples.
It's packed as single UMD, thus grab the module or use npm to install.
It has NestedTypes model framework, react, react-dom, prop-types, jquery, and underscore as strong dependencies.
npm install --save-dev nestedreact nestedtypes underscore jquery react react-dom prop-types
Module extends React namespace (without modifying original React), and its
safe to use it as a replacement for react.
import React from 'nestedreact'
If you're migrating from backbone-based frameworks such as ChaplinJS or Marionette,
you need to do following things to make convergence layer work properly:
-
Make sure that frameworks includes
nestedtypesinstead ofbackbone. -
On application start, tell
nestedreactto use proper base class for the View.React.useView( Chaplin.View );
