How to include it in a react app

Hi mikekelly,
Thank you for your job. I am looking at your source code and try to port it into my app.
I am experienced with backbone JS and jquery, but the way we use to build app with it is slitghly different and I struggle bringing all the logic together. Probably because of my unexperience with HAL and your app.
Is anyone interested working on a port to react ?

Yes, I'd be very interested in that. Also in structuring the code base in a way that makes it easier to work with the various packaging systems.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to invest in this kind of a rewrite but I'd be happy to look to a port (perhaps as a 1.0 release)

I was working on a implementation in react but I found a short cut :
Extract all sources in one file :

do
count=$(( $count + 1 )) && curl -vs "${urlList[count]}"
done >halbrowser.jsDo the modification you need like adding the bearer token your self.
Then upload the file somewhere like pastebin. If you want to use it for production don't forget to compress the javascript.
You can easely use it with a simple react-component like follow:
import React from 'react';
import Helmet from 'react-helmet';
class HalBrowserPage extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
setTimeout(() => {
const browser = new HAL.Browser({
container: $('#browser'),
token: JSON.parse(localStorage.token),
entryPoint: '/'
});
Backbone.history.start();
}, 1000);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<Helmet
link={[
{ rel: 'stylesheet', href: 'http://haltalk.herokuapp.com/explorer/vendor/css/bootstrap.css' },
{ rel: 'stylesheet', href: 'http://haltalk.herokuapp.com/explorer/vendor/css/bootstrap-responsive.css' },
{ rel: 'stylesheet', href: 'http://haltalk.herokuapp.com/explorer/styles.css' },
]}
script={[
{ src: 'http://pastebin.com/raw/iAiHWrRN', type: 'text/javascript' },
]}
/>
<div id="browser"></div>
</div>
);
}
}You will still miss the script text/template from browser.html.
For the moment I have just added them in my index.html of my react app: (They are not jsx friendly)

</html>I use it with react-router so the source get injected with react-helmet only when this page is displayed, and remove when you need it.
The whole code ported into react would have take much longer.
I have tried to edit the HAL.Client.prototype.get method to add my custom headers but it didn't work.
Do you know where I should modify the code in order to write this ?
const browser = new HAL.Browser({
container: $('#browser'),
token: JSON.parse(localStorage.token)
entryPoint: '/'
});One downside with this method.
The properties template will render [object Object] instead of the real object. I have checked, the object is empty)
