Introduction

react-lite is an implementation of React that optimizes for small script size.

Framework Size Comparison

React-lite supports the core APIs of React, such as Virtual DOM, intended as a drop-in replacement for React, when you don't need server-side rendering in browser(no React.renderToString & React.renderToStaticMarkup).

If you are using webpack, it's so easy to use react-lite, just config alias in webpack.config.js:

// webpack.config.js
{
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            'react': 'react-lite',
            'react-dom': 'react-lite'
        }
    }
}

Note: feel free to try react-lite, if something happen and we can't fix it in time, then use regular react instead.

Installation

You can install react-lite from npm:

npm install react-lite --save

Browser compatibility

supports IE9+ / ES5 enviroment

Documentation

learn react-lite from React official documentation

What can react-lite do?

just the same as what react does, see some demos below(I just add the alias to webpack.config.js, no need to do anything else):

• works with react-bootstrap: doc demo
• works with ant-design: demo
• works with react-router: examples
• works with redux: async counter shopping-cart todomvc * todos-with-undo
• works with react-motion: demos
• works with react-d3-components: demos
• works with react-d3: demos
• react-lite vdom-benchmark
• js-repaint-perf: react react-lite

React-lite vs React

via react-lite:

• all of React.PropTypes method is no-op(empty function)
• use React in server side rendering, and use React-lite in browser react-lite will replace the dom tree with new dom tree you had better avoid script|head|link tag in client side
• can not use react-dev-tool inspect react-lite, should switch to regular react for debugging
• react-lite only works with a JSX toolchain(issue)

Test

react-lite reuses react's unitest(170), you can see them in __test__, and run the tests with:

npm test
