This repository serves as a companion to the forthcoming book, "Easy React: Build Powerful Web Apps Using Modern JavaScript Technologies" (http://easyreactbook.com). It contains several branches intended to help you understand and execute the examples with minimum inconvenience. While you're certainly not required to use this repository to learn from the book, I thought it would be nice to save readers some preliminary typing and instead devote the time and energy to focusing on the material.

Being a Git repository, you'll need to possess at least rudimentary Git skills to make the most of these examples. If you're not familiar with Git I suggest having a look Scott Chacon's great book (available for free online), "Pro Git", in addition to Neo's fantastic online "Git Immersion" course.

This chapter is accompanied by four branches. Throughout the chapter I'll give you a heads-up regarding the appropriate time to switch to the next branch. The branches currently include:

• master: This branch demonstrates how to create your first component
• user_input: This branch demonstrates how to detect and respond to user input
• vocab_filter: This branch demonstrates how to create a simple real-time search filter
• json_loader: This branch demonstrates how to load and render JSON
• mounting_example: This branch demonstrates various lifecycle methods (componentDidMount, componentWillMount, componentWillReceiveProps, etc).

• react_browserified: This branch provides a working example demonstrating React, Browserify, and Babelify integration.

• inline_styles: This branch demonstrates how to integrate and dynamically update inline styles.

• react_bootstrap: This branch demonstrates how to install Bootstrap using npm, override a few default Bootstrap styles, use Gulp to compile the Bootstrap source files along with your overrides, and then apply those styles to a series of React components. Also included is a demonstration of how to integrate a Bootstrap jQuery plugin (the modal) into a React component.

• react_router: This branch demonstrates a very simple react-router 1.0-beta3 implementation using two simple routes and browser history using the HTML5 History API. I'll definitely enhance this branch soon to include examples involving parameters and whatnot.
