#Notable Things

I've gone through the awesome Discover Meteor tutorial and have a decent understanding of how Meteor 1.0 works. Going through the React tutorial, several things jumped out as different:

• React uses JSX (not a problem, since the React package in Meteor automatically compiles .jsx files)
• JSX files use the ES6 features
• Use mixins in order to use data from a Meteor collection in a React component
• In React, you handle DOM events by directly referencing a method on the component. Inside the event handler, you can reference elements from the component by giving them a ref property and using React.findDOMNode. Learn more about how the event system works in React here
