I have created a Microsoft Office Add-in React (TypeScript) Project using yo office
How do I add another page? I want to create some additional UI which pops up in a dialog (ie. displayed using Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync) so no need for loading officejs
I tried to use react-router but I didn't manage to get it working... The way index.tsx works is a bit different from the normal create-react-app template that most tutorials use.
I did this by adding:
a new tsx file for my page
a new HtmlWebpackPlugin in webpack.common.js with a new chunk name
an entry in webpack.common.js which links my tsx file with my chunk

Working on a new project setup, and trying to get figure out the configuration to get .scss files to build per component. Ideally, only the necessary css files would load per component added to a page, rather than an entire combined .css file for all components. I know this can be done with JSS, but I believe should work with webpack in a CRA app.
My current project setup is:
/src/App.js
/src/components/
index.js => exports all components for easy import to the page (i.e., import {ComponentName} from './components')
/src/components/{component-name}
{component-name.js}
{component-name.scss}
Currently trying sass#v1.56.1 and sass-loader#13.2.0, but not sure about the proper setup.
Might need to do a modular setup to accomplish this or just stick with JSS?
I'm making a portfolio in react, I want to display my other projects in it, so I put them in separate folders, when I import the folder to display in the project it assumes the default css style at home, there's a way to make it just use the css of the folder where it comes from he came? or will I have to host the other projects and access them by link?
PS: I'm saying that not even in html when you have the main project folder and want to access another project then direct the link to /(another folder)/index.html
I tried to use react router dom, to do this but it didn't work, as I said the css of the files got mixed up
I setup react project by create-react-app and I found that the subfolder of react won't able to autoload when I create a new file, eg
<!-- file: /public/subfolder/index.html -->
<p>subfolder content here</p>
anyone knows how? According to the official react doc, it looks like react doesn't allow this kind pattern? Anyone knows more content?
This is not actually a restriction from React itself. That was how Webpack has configured in create-react-app. Please look at the below code snippet of a typical Webpack config file in a React application. If we need more custom configuration, we have to manually configure Webpack and Babel as per our requirements.

When i customize vscode source code, i found it hard to add a page.
I know there are many ways to do so, such as Part/Widget/Browserwindow, but only if i new a Browserwindow can i explicitly load html and js files like in chrome browser and it's friendly.
If i use a Part or a Widget, i need to use native js api to do dom manipulation, and it's so inefficient,
~~so i want to know how did vscode team decide to use no ui framework during the development? Is there some trade-off?~~
i tried to import react and react-dom directly in my own contrib file /vs/workbench/contrib/dialog/browser/dialog.ts, and then get successful compilation and the react component shows up, but i don't know how to add babel with the compilation procedure, so i use react without jsx.
so i want to know how to import react framework into vscode source code project to create ui component? Is there some practices?
I'm looking to embed my react application into an existing plain html / javascript website. What I've found so far is that you are only able to embed individual components into existing websites, not entire react applications.
Naturally I have an app component which contains the entire application. Am I able to embed the full application by embedding this component? My concern is all the modules I'm using (e.g. axios, bootstrap) will break.
I've been looking for a good tutorial on how to do this but I'm not finding many examples of trying to embed the entire application into an existing page.
My understanding of how to do this, is to reference the react javascript source links in the html page head, possibly also babel although its unclear to me if babel will work. Then we can use the renderDom method like we normally would.
On page load can I run my index.js file to insert my react app component into the dom? If this would work, are there any issues with file structure, file updates I would need to take care of?
If I'm driving off path out into the wilderness and there is a better way to handle it I'm open to suggestions. I'm just looking to see if someone else has experience doing this before I start down a bad path.
I was able to embed my full react application by doing the following...
I built my react app production files with npm run build
I copied those files into the existing web project at the root level
Then I opened the index.html file generated from npm run build and copied the scripts in the head and body sections to the page I wanted to drop in my application
Finally I added a div with the id root (this is what my renderDOM method is looking for) where I wanted my application to appear on the existing web page.
That was it. Super easy, thanks for the help!
Just wanted to add a quick additional approach here.
If you already have a Flask app and you're trying to put React components or an app (so the base component of an app) onto an existing HTML page in the Flask app, basically the only thing that you need is Babel, unless you are able to write React components without using JSX (so in plain Javascript) in which case you'd need nothing.
Step 1: To attach Babel to your project, you'll have to grab the Babel node modules which means your project will be associated with NPM for the sole purpose of using the Babel functions. You can do this by running the following commands in your project root directory (Node.js must be installed):
npm init -y
npm install babel-cli#6 babel-preset-react-app#3
Step 2: Once Babel is attached to your project, you'll have to actually transpile the existing React component .js files from JSX into plain Javascript like so:
npx babel --watch (jsdirectory) --out-dir (outputdirectory) --presets react-app/prod
where (jsdirectory) is the path to the directory where your React component files written using JSX are, and (outputdirectory) is where you want your translated files to show up--use . for (outputdirectory) to have transpiled files appear in your root directory.
Step 3: After the plain Javascript versions of your React files appear, make sure they are linked to your HTML page instead of the original JSX-utilizing files (replace the original script tag's .js file)
Step 4: Make sure the HTML page in question is linked to the .CSS files you want (they will modify the transpiled Javascript in the same manner as they did the JSX files in a project made using Create-React-App because the class names are the same) as well as the required React resources:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react#16/umd/react.production.min.js" crossorigin></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom#16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js" crossorigin></script>
After you do those quick steps your React components should render no problem on that page in your Python-Flask application.
