If you're writing your client-side code in Javascript and your server-side code in PHP, then you'll have to rewrite that library if you're using node.js on both sides, you only need to do it once. The main benefit here is code reuse: imagine that you wrote a library that does something fancy with dates. There has been a lot of buzz in recent years about building the entire app with node.js - client-side and server-side. jsx code instead of plain old Javascript - this is a tremendous boost to productivity. The main benefit for the developer is that you can use tools such as Babel to write. The main benefit for the client is to reduce the number of requests for the page and the bandwidth required (since I can use UglifyJS to minify the whole bundle). This bundle contains my application code (including some React components) along with all the dependencies for my application code (including react and react-dom, among other things). Use a node.js-based build tool like browserify or webpack to bundle your client-side code into a neat, tidy package which you then serve to the client.įor example, in a project I'm working on, I use browserify to build a single Javascript file saved at public/js/bundle.js which is included via a plain old tag in my index.html and it's all served by Apache. That said, there are a couple of different ways to use node.js that are very useful when building React-based applications. In fact, the second example you give is doing just that - using React on the client side without any mention of node.js. The answer to the question posed in the title is no, you do not need node.js to use React on the client side.
question is - which is better? could I use just cdn and not use nodejs entirely? is it more correct to have nodejs and npm modules (or bower.) to have the react stuff?
In this example I am using cdn in order to import the dependencies of react that nodejs should import in the npm install phase. ReactDOM.render(reactElement, document.getElementById('react-application')) Var reactElement = React.createElement('h1', , Most tutorials offer something like this: I want to start a small hello world example of my own.
