Developed by Alex Micheli for his Bachelor's thesis at TUM i2.
Based on jsoo-react.
Bindings to ReactJS for js_of_ocaml, including JSX ppx.
Adapted from ReasonReact.

Very experimental / early stage. Not ready for consumption yet.
Only bindings to the most basic rendering functions and useState
/ useReducer
exist.
The rest of the bindings are to be implemented yet.
- Abstract over Js_of_ocaml "native" types (
js_string
,js_array
) as much as possible behind the bindings. To do so, the library usesgen_js_api
to convert from/to these types to their more idiomatic OCaml representation. - Keep the API as close as possible to ReasonReact. This is useful for many reasons:
- Battle tested.
- Reduce cognitive load by leveraging ReasonReact knowledge.
- Maximize potential reuse of existing components and libraries.

git clone https://github.com/jchavarri/jsoo-react/
cd ./jsoo-react
make init
eval $(opam env)
make dev
# in another tab / terminal session
cd ./jsoo-react/example
yarn && yarn server
After that, open up localhost:8000
. Then modify App.re
file in src
and refresh the page to see the changes. The example
will not work without server as it relies on history / client-side routing using jsoo-react
router to navigate through the pages.
make test
to run the test against the expected result.make test-promote
when you want to update the expected results.
Thanks to the authors and maintainers of ReasonReact, in particular @rickyvetter for his work on the v3 of the JSX ppx. Thanks to the authors and maintainers of Js_of_ocaml, in particular @hhugo who has been answering many many questions in GitHub threads. And thanks to the team behind React.js! What an amazing library :)
