ReactJS Component Cheatsheet

To create a ReactComponent:

ReactComponent React.createClass(object proto)

Basic JSX example:

var TitleComponent = React.createClass({
  // REQUIRED
  render: function() {
    return (<h1>Hello { this.props.name }</h1>);
  }
});
React.renderComponent(<TitleComponent name="John" />, mountNode);

Compiles to:

var TitleComponent = React.createClass({
  displayName: 'TitleComponent`,
  render: function() {
    return React.DOM.h1(null, "Hello ", this.props.name);
  }
});
React.renderComponent(TitleComponent( {name:"John"} ), mountNode);
