React-titanium NPM

react-titanium

A React custom renderer for Appcelerator® Titanium™ SDK.

This renderer should currently be considered as experimental and subject to change since it works on a beta version of React (0.14.0-beta3).

Installation

$ cd Titanium_Workspace/MyApp

# Initialize a node package here
$ npm init

# Let you use transformers (such as Babel) and npm packages
$ npm install --save-dev titaniumifier
$ node_modules/.bin/install-titaniumifier-plugin
$ node_modules/.bin/install-titaniumifier-plugin --no-simulate

# React-titanium requires v0.14
$ npm install --save react@0.14.0-beta3 react-titanium
# Let’s write in ES2015!
$ npm install --save-dev babelify babel-runtime

Edit your package.json file so it looks like this:

{
  // This is the starting point of our app
  "main": "Resources/app.js",

  // Hook Babel transformation into Titaniumifier
  "titaniumifier": {
    "transforms": {
      "babelify": {
        "stage": 0,
        "optional": [ "runtime" ],
        "plugins": [ "react-titanium/lib/babel-plugin:before" ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Test your installation:

$ [appc] ti build --platform ios

Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-titanium';

class App extends Component {
  state = { counter: 0 };

  increment = () => this.setState({
    counter: this.state.counter + 1
  });

  open = window => {
    if (this.opened || !window) return;

    this.opened = true;
    window.open();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <window
        onClick={ this.increment }
        ref={ this.open }
      >
        <label color="#09f">
          We got to: { this.state.counter }
        </label>
      </window>
    );
  }
}

render(<App />);
