react-anything-relive v0.1.6

react-anything-relive

react-anything-relive is a library to create easily native implementations of React based on react-anything-relive but fix some mount issues. Originall React was intended to manipulate DOM elements; React Native, on the other hand, manipulates native mobile views. Similarly, react-anything-relive is intended to facilitate using React to manipulate any other elements. In other words, it helps creating React applications where there is no DOM or mobile views.

This library was first developed to support react-phaser.

Most likely react-anything-relive will be soon obsolete, since it seems that React will eventually implement a complete DOM-free version.

Default React vs React.native

As of version 0.15.rc2, the default React package loads the DOM manipulation code. react-anything-relive modifies the default React object to remove the DOM related code, and links React with any other implementation.

As an alternative, it's possible to use react-anything/src/native, which loads a a React version without any DOM related code.

react-anything-relive and react-anything/src/native should behave exactly in the same way. However, the later will compile to a smaller production file (~130KB using webpack). On the other hand, if you want to use any other library that also requires React (e.g., react-redux), the default react-anything-relive should be used.
