This module mainly serve to setup subapp-web with Facebook React framework.

It basically re-exports the module subapp-web and sets it up with React specific APIs.

For convenience, it also exports the module react.

To use, a subapp's code should be doing:

import { React, loadSubApp } from "subapp-react";

import Component from "./component";

export default loadSubApp({ name: "MyComponent", Component });

For all pratical purposes, if there's code somewhere else that ensures subapp-web is setup with the proper React framework, then it's equivalent to the following:

import React from "react";
import { loadSubApp } from "subapp-web";

import Component from "./component";

export default loadSubApp({ name: "MyComponent", Component });

react and react-dom are specified as peerDependencies, so you must install them as part of your package.json dependencies.

This module also exports a default React context that SSR uses to pass in server request object to your React component.

ie:

import { AppContext } from "subapp-react";

const Component = () => {
  return (
    <AppContext.Consumer>
      {({ isSsr, ssr, subApp }) => {
        return (
          <div>
            IS_SSR: {`${Boolean(isSsr)}`} HAS_REQUEST: {ssr && ssr.request ? "yes" : "no"}
          </div>
        );
      }}
    </AppContext.Consumer>
  );
};

If you want to use react-router in your application, then you need to install the dependencies:

• react-router and react-router-dom

ie:

npm i react-router react-router-dom

And then set the useReactRouter flag to true in your subapp:

import { React, loadSubApp } from "subapp-react";

export default loadSubApp({ name: "MySubapp", Component, useReactRouter: true });
