Reakt

Reakt is a Kotlin wrapper for facebook's React library.

It includes a working port of the Flux TodoMVC Example.

To run the example, clone the repository and open index.html from the todo directory.

Features

• A completely typesafe wrapper over React.
• A Kotlin-based HTML builder api (no JSX equivalent is required).

Comparison

• Component: Kotlin vs JavaScript
• Actions: Kotlin vs JavaScript
• Store: Kotlin vs JavaScript

Building

• Currently, it can only be built using IntelliJ IDEA.

Credits

• wizzard0's React TypeScript Definitions.
• Flux TodoMVC Example
• Kara web framework for Kotlin builder examples

Status

• Proof of concept

Roadmap

• Clean up copyrights and licenses for derivative work
• Review naming conventions (Actions/Events)
• Add properties to the CSS Sytle class
• Support the full React API (refs, renderToString, renderToDocument et al)
• Build as a library and separate out the todo example as a user of the library
• Wrap the test API and support DOM-based tests (probably via Karma)
• Review the visibility of the react.* package
