Installation

Add following dependency to your ReScript project (in case you don't have any project yet, check out the installation instructions in the manual):

npm install @rescript/rescript-react --save

Then add the following setting to your existing bsconfig.json:

JSON
{
  "reason": { "react-jsx": 3 },
  "bs-dependencies": ["@rescript/rescript-react"]
}

To test your setup, create a new .res file in your source directory and add the following code:

RES
// src/Test.res
@react.component
let make = () => {
  <div> {React.string("Hello World")} </div>
}

Now rerun your build with bsb -make-world and you should see a successful build.

Exposed Modules

After a successful installation, rescript-react will make following modules available in your project's global scope:

• React: Bindings to React

• ReactDOM: Bindings to the ReactDOM

• ReactDOMServer: Bindings to the ReactDOMServer

• ReactEvent: Bindings to React's synthetic events

• ReactDOMStyle: Bindings to the inline style API

• RescriptReactRouter: A simple, yet fully featured router with minimal memory allocations

Deprecated Modules

rescript-react has gone a long way, so we still keep around a few modules for legacy reasons. We will deprecate them in the future in favor of...

• ReactDOMRe -> ReactDOM

Actual usage and for each module will be discussed in the rest of this documentation.
