I am very new to React and IDEs for frontend development.
I am trying to use React in WebStorm. I made a new project with "React starter kit" in WebStorm. Now a whole bunch of packages got created under my project. Where should I start writing my react code?
Also I have read that I need to add library "node.js v1.8.1 core modules" and "Node.js Globals" but I'm not able to find them. I am attaching snippets for better understanding.
If you are starting with react-native you better not start with a "starter-kit".
I recommend you start form the very beginning, with the simple tutorial in the react-native docs:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content
After you get some familiarity with it, you will be able to use a stater-kit more properly.
As for the project in your WebStorm, you need to look for the files under the src directory to edit the react code.
Good luck

I am new to React and recently joined a team and my first assignment was to set up a react project without using create-react-app because as team lead told me custom template makes easier to put react into production. Then, the question is how about create-react-app helping us with all of the setup for us and if we want to customize the CRA we can use npm run eject. So, why should we create our own template?
On the contrary, it's pretty hard to setup a React application without a template.
You can check Creating a Toolchain from Scratch at React docs which refers to this guide.
Your own template should configure package manager, bundler and compiler, it's not so trivial. Best suggestion would be extending CRA by cloning the repo or running yarn eject and continue from there.
why there is need to create a React app from scratch with Webpack and Babel if create-react-app automatically adds them? I am kind of new to this thing could someone please help me to understand this thing
Because some people might not want the setup that create-react-app provides.
There are many different ways to set up a project, you can do it from scratch, by using someone elses's template, or using a CLI tool like create-react-app.
The choice is yours, but the recommendation for beginners is to just use CRA as it is the simplest and gets everything working together nicely for you to just get building!
I do have some components I use across my projects so I thought it was a good idea to build my own React UI lib, but how?
Do I create a SPA using CRA and start coding and listing the components on it?
Yep, it’s one way to start.
But if you want to publish it or organize it to have a better use of it, I suggest you use Storybook as your dev environment and Jest + ESlint.
There’s some boilerplates like React AZap to help you with that.
I built React AZap to be an easy to use React UI lib boilerplate.
It uses Storybook and stories to organize your components, it has a component generator using Plop, tests with Jest+Enzime and styles with styled-components.
Try it out, it can save you time to start your lib ;)
Using CRA won't help you, as you won't be running this project.
Creating a library of components is the same as creating any other npm package, the only difference is that it should export components instead of normal functions/objects.
There are plenty of guides online that you can consult if you want more in-depth explanation.
I'd recommend giving this guide a read, which goes into the details for how to structure a multi-package UI component library. The code is included as well, so you should be able to clone to repository and get started.
Hope that helps!
I'm building my first semi-major MERN app with Redux, without a tutorial. It's really challenging, but a ton of fun.
The project I am building is, essentially, a simple re-engineering of Zillow's API (they have a few, I'm after the more basic of the property search results).
I am using the zillow npm module and want to add what appears to be a pretty popular autocomplete Search plug-in.
My big challenge this week has been diving into the build tools. I read thru the webpack docs over the last couple days, then felt solid enough to try building out my Search functionality, which will return results and a map eventually.
It should be noted, I'm using a scaffolding tool developed by a guy who publishes a lot of good React tutorials (from which I basically learned ReactJS -- it's called turbo360). Right now, I am using webpack 4. I just did a fresh git commit: https://github.com/ScorpIan555/real-estate-app/blob/master/webpack.config.js
I have, so far, read a bit of the Babel docs. I piped in .js extentions to the .jsx test for the babel-loader, thinking perhaps that would get it?
What I'm a bit confused by is that it seems to be tripping over a file written in ES5 (from the geocoder npm module I am trying to use). So, I'm wondering if I should be configuring my babel-loader to not try to transpile ES5 modules or what.
This is the module I am trying to utilize, it looks fairly popular and has a recent commit. I also looked at its webpack.config.js file and tried to apply that to mine...
https://github.com/abec/react-autosuggest-geocoder/blob/master/webpack.config.js
I am closing this as I received assistance on a Slack channel. This plugin uses experimental code which I do not wish to use on my app. I will use another plug-in. I was looking for help with my webpack.config and am reliably told it is fine. Thanks to all who viewed this question!
I'm not getting how to run reactjs code on eclipse.I have created dynamic web page folder,I tried to run react code but i'm not.I have added react-1.4.jar file to that folder also, but I don't know whether it is correct or not.
Please any one can help me about setup to run react code on eclipse.
I've been using CodeMix to work on Node.js Typescript project with an Angular web application all of these under Eclipse, although, it is not React, it also have support for React projects!!! I would recommend to give it a try, I've already tried to create a CodeMix React Project and it provides a nice example on how to write ReactJS under Eclipse. Hopefully this will get you on the right direction.
You can generate bundle.js using web pack that can be placed in
eclipse web content folder.
Don't forget to place HTML, CSS, images and other script files.
You can't run the JSX files using eclipse.
you can't run react (JSX) codes without babel, webpack. whatever IDE your working with, write a JSX code and compile it by using babel.
There is actually a plugin to support JSX and typescript in Eclipse. It's called "TypeScript". TypeScript
follow - official react js documentation React
If you still stuck, try to start react app by using other IDE's like Visual Studio Code, Sublime, Atom.
For Online VS Code IDE react use this : stackblitz
Hope this helps
