modx v2.1.0

Model-backed components for React Native

npm install modx --save

Component.Type

Every model-backed component relies on the Component.Type constructor. It assists in building the factory that creates both your models and their component instances.

{Component} = require "modx"

type = Component.Type "Foo"

Note: Naming the type is optional.

The first thing every component model needs is a render method.

type.render ->
  # TODO: Create and return a `ReactElement`.
  return false # <= Render nothing for now.

Before we learn anything else, let's finalize our model factory so we can try the render method.

# Finalize the model factory.
Foo = type.build()

# Initialize a model instance.
foo = Foo()

foo.render() # => false

Using model-backed components means you can:

• Re-render without using setState

• Avoid the ref callback (you already have the model, which has access to its view)

• And more... (which I'll add here at a later date)
