using react for AEM frontend development ?

[jvanaert]

Are there any public resources regarding the use of react.js in an AEM frontend?

I've already found the presentation of Ben Westrate (http://slides.com/benwestrate/deck-1#). But this looks like a very brief introduction of react.js

I'm rather looking for a real world example of a frontend app that uses react.js, preferably with react-router and isomorphic rendering.

Any pointers, suggestions are very welcome !

Thanks,

Jeroen

This is not used by community from what i have seen in past 4 years. The slide deck you mentioned is most likely one of the few pieces of community content that talks about this. I would recommend that you contact Ben. His contact information is located at end of the deck.

There is a new library integration react with aem here. It is still an early version and the api is likely to change. Main features:

- server side react rendering

- implement aem component in react

- create a react component tree in the aem edit mode.

- demo components: accordion, simple text and embedded component.

There is a new version of documentation about AEM + Reacts. -> https://sinnerschrader.github.io/aem-react

It looks very good from my point of view,  but I recommend take a look and provide him some feedback, gain more experience in the community. Actually, there are multiple clients trying to unify their UI stack, in this case: React, but they still haven't too much experience in this field.
