React.createFactory factoryFunction createFactory( string/ReactClass type ) Return a function that produces ReactElements of a given type. Like React.createElement, the type argument can be either an html tag name string (eg. 'div', 'span', etc), or a ReactClass.

React React is the entry point to the React library. If you're using one of the prebuilt packages it's available as a global; if you're using CommonJS modules you can require() it. React.Component class Component This is the base class for React Components when they're defined using ES6 classes. See Reusable Components for how to use ES6 classes with React. For what methods are actually provided by the base class, see the Component API. React.createClass ReactClass createClass(object spe

Supported Elements React attempts to support all common elements in both HTML and SVG. Any lower case tag in JSX will be rendered to an element with that tag. SVG elements must be contained within an <svg> element to work properly. Using React.DOM Factory methods If you aren't using JSX and are using the React.DOM.* API to create elements, then you are slightly more limited and there is list of supported elements that will be available on that API. HTML Elements The following HTML e

React.PropTypes React.PropTypes includes types that can be used with a component's propTypes object to validate props being passed to your components. For more information about propTypes, see Reusable Components.

mixins array mixins The mixins array allows you to use mixins to share behavior among multiple components. For more information about mixins, see Reusable Components.

React lets you use whatever style of data management you want, including mutation. However, if you can use immutable data in performance-critical parts of your application it's easy to implement a fast shouldComponentUpdate() method to significantly speed up your app. Dealing with immutable data in JavaScript is more difficult than in languages designed for it, like Clojure. However, we've provided a simple immutability helper, update(), that makes dealing with this type of data much easier, wi

ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup string renderToStaticMarkup(ReactElement element) Similar to renderToString, except this doesn't create extra DOM attributes such as data-react-id, that React uses internally. This is useful if you want to use React as a simple static page generator, as stripping away the extra attributes can save lots of bytes.

React.createElement ReactElement createElement( string/ReactClass type, [object props], [children ...] ) Create and return a new ReactElement of the given type. The type argument can be either an html tag name string (eg. 'div', 'span', etc), or a ReactClass (created via React.createClass).
