I am tring to do react using below code but I am not getting html
element in the browser. There is no error in the console.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>React without npm</title>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15/dist/react.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15/dist/react-dom.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-core/5.8.24/browser.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test"></div>
<script type="text/babel">
var reactTest = React.createClass({
render: function(){
return(
<h1>React Without NPM</h1>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<reactTest />,document.getElementById('test'));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Can someone please help on this.
If a React Class name
starts with a lowercase
letter then no methods inside the class
get called, i.e. nothing Renders, and you don't get any error message in the Browser console,
because small letters are treated as HTML
elements, its a rule that all React components
must start with a upper case
letter, so always use Upper Case.
Instead of reactTest
use this: ReactTest
it will work.
As per DOC:
User-Defined Components Must Be Capitalized.
When an element type starts with a lowercase letter, it refers to a
built-in component like <div>
or <span>
and results in a string 'div'
or 'span' passed to React.createElement
. Types that start with a
capital letter like <Foo />
compile to React.createElement(Foo)
and
correspond to a component defined or imported in your JavaScript file.
We recommend naming components with a capital letter. If you do have a
component that starts with a lowercase letter, assign it to a
capitalized variable before using it in JSX.
Check the working code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>React without npm</title>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15/dist/react.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15/dist/react-dom.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-core/5.8.24/browser.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test"></div>
<script type="text/babel">
var ReactTest = React.createClass({
render: function(){
return(
<h1>React Without NPM</h1>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<ReactTest />,document.getElementById('test'));
</script>
</body>
</html>
The following works fine, try it :
var ReactTest = React.createClass({
render: function(){
return(
<h1>React Without NPM</h1>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<ReactTest />,document.getElementById('test'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<div id="test" ></div>
