Codesanook.ReactJS

ReactJS server side rendering module for Orchard CMS

How to integrate React server side rendering

• Install React.Core by command install-package React.Core -version 5.0.0
• Include built bundle script in ShellEvent. For example:

    namespace Codesanook.Module {
        public class ShellEvent : IOrchardShellEvents {
            public void Activated() {
                ReactSiteConfiguration.Configuration
                    // Disable load Babel because we already transformed TypeScript with Webpack
                    .SetLoadBabel(false)
                    .AddScriptWithoutTransform(
                        "~/Modules/Codesanook.Module/Scripts/codesanook-module.js"
                    );
            }

            public void Terminating() {
            }
        }
    }

• Add <add namespace="Codesanook.ReactJS" /> to <system.web.webPages.razor> in Web.config root level.
• Add Script.Require("React").AtHead() and Script.Require("ReactDOM").AtHead().
• Include a bundle script in a module's Razor page with Script.Include("bundle.js").
• Add HtmlHelper.React("Module.Component", {Props}).
• Add @Html.ReactInitJavaScript() at bottom of Document.cshtml (theme) of an active theme to initialize React script.
