Download the PHP package talyssonoc/react-laravel without Composer

react-laravel

With react-laravel you'll be able to use ReactJS components right from your Blade views, with optional server-side rendering, and use them on the client-side with React due to unobtrusive JavaScript.

Installation

V8js dependency

It's important to know that react-laravel has an indirect dependency of the v8js PHP extension.

You can see how to install it here: how to install v8js.

Composer

Set the minimum-stability of your composer.json to dev, adding this:

Then run:

After that you should add this to your providers at the config/app.php file of your Laravel app:

And then run:

And the react.php file will be available at the config folder of your app.

Usage

After the installation and configuration, you'll be able to use the @react_component directive in your views.

The @react_component directive accepts 3 arguments:

• componentName: Is the name of the global variable that holds your component. When using Namespaced Components you may use dot-notation for the component name.
• props: Associative of the props that'll be passed to your component
• options: Associative array of options that you can pass to the react-laravel:
  • prerender: Tells react-laravel to render your component server-side, and then just mount it on the client-side. Default to true.
  • tag: The tag of the element that'll hold your component. Default to 'div'.
  • html attributes: Any other valid HTML attribute that will be added to the wrapper element of your component. Example: 'id' => 'my_component'.

All your components should be inside public/js/components.js (you can configure it, see below) and be global.

You must include react.js, react-dom.js and react_ujs.js (in this order) in your view. You can concatenate these files together using laravel-elixir.

react-laravel provides a ReactJS installation and the react_us.js file, they'll be at public/vendor/react-laravel folder after you install react-laravel and run:

For using the files provided by react-laravel and your components.js file, add this to your view:

If you'll use a different version from the one provided by react-laravel (see composer.json), you got to configure it (see below).

Configurations

You can change settings to react-laravel at the config/react.php file:

All of them are optional.

• source: defaults to public/vendor/react-laravel/react.js.
• dom-source: defaults to public/vendor/react-laravel/react-dom.js.
• dom-server-source: defaults to public/vendor/react-laravel/react-dom-server.js.
• components: defaults to public/js/components.js. Multiple components files may be specified here.

Your components.js file(s) should also be included at your view, and all your components must be at the window object.
