The React add-ons are a collection of useful utility modules for building React apps. These should be considered experimental and tend to change more often than the core.
TransitionGroup
andCSSTransitionGroup
, for dealing with animations and transitions that are usually not simple to implement, such as before a component's removal.LinkedStateMixin
, to simplify the coordination between user's form input data and the component's state.cloneWithProps
, to make shallow copies of React components and change their props.createFragment
, to create a set of externally-keyed children.update
, a helper function that makes dealing with immutable data in JavaScript easier.PureRenderMixin
, a performance booster under certain situations.shallowCompare
, a helper function that performs a shallow comparison for props and state in a component to decide if a component should update.
The add-ons below are in the development (unminified) version of React only:
TestUtils
, simple helpers for writing test cases.Perf
, a performance profiling tool for finding optimization opportunities.
To get the add-ons, install them individually from npm (e.g., npm install react-addons-pure-render-mixin
). We don't support using the addons if you're not using npm.
