ReactJS.NET

ReactJS.NET is a library that makes it easier to use Babel along with Facebook's React and JSX from C#.

Features

• On-the-fly JSX to JavaScript compilation via Babel

• JSX to JavaScript compilation via popular minification/combination libraries:
  • ASP.NET Bundling and Minification
  • Cassette
  • Webpack
  • MSBuild
• Server-side component rendering to make your initial render super-fast, including support for:
  • CSS-in-JS libraries
  • React Router
  • React Helmet
  • Custom JS logic via implementing IRenderFunctions and passing to Html.React
• Runs on Windows, OS X and Linux via .NET Core and ChakraCore
• Supports both ASP.NET 4.0/4.5 and ASP.NET Core

Quick Start

dotnet new -i React.Template
dotnet new reactnet-vanilla
dotnet run

Planning on using require or import module syntax in your application? Use the reactnet-webpack template instead for webpack support.

Building Manually and Contributing

When building your own copy of ReactJS.NET (for example, if implementing a new feature or fixing a bug), your first build always needs to be done using the build script (dev-build.bat) as this generates a few files required by the build (such as SharedAssemblyVersionInfo.cs). Once this build is completed, you can open React.sln in Visual Studio and compile directly from Visual Studio. Please refer to the documentation page on contributing for more information on contributing to ReactJS.NET.

Note that the build requires you to have Git installed. If you do not want to install Git, you may remove the GitVersion task from build.proj.
