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, build the project and open index.html from the todo/build/web 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
- Clone repository
./gradlew buildWeb
- That's it. Now you can open
todo/build/classes/main/index.htmlto see the example Todo application. - Open
build.gradlein IntelliJ, make project will overwrite generated js, so just refresh in browser
Using in your project as a library
- Build reakt.jar (reakt/build/libs)
./gradlew reakt:jar
- In IntelliJ, you can add this jar as a dependency to your Kotlin(Javascript) project or from command line
kotlinc-js -output my-awesome-app.js src -library-files reakt.jar
- See Todo sample for how to use gradle build

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)
- Wrap the test API and support DOM-based tests (probably via Karma)
- Review the visibility of the react.* package
