I'm new to Django and ReactJS, was trying to pile a simple JSX code to JS using this tutorial : .html
Didn't work, so I used npm run dev
to pile, now it worked but giving error in browser console : Uncaught ReferenceError: react is not defined
Here is my webpack.config.js
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker');
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
module.exports = {
//the base directory (absolute path) for resolving the entry option
context: __dirname,
//the entry point we created earlier. Note that './' means
//your current directory. You don't have to specify the extension now,
//because you will specify extensions later in the `resolve` section
entry: './assets/js/index',
output: {
//where you want your piled bundle to be stored
path: path.resolve('./assets/bundles/'),
//naming convention webpack should use for your files
filename: '[name]-[hash].js',
},
target: 'node', // in order to ignore built-in modules like path, fs, etc.
externals: {
react: 'react'
}, // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder
plugins: [
//tells webpack where to store data about your bundles.
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
//makes jQuery available in every module
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
//React: "react",
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
})
],
module: {
loaders: [
//a regexp that tells webpack use the following loaders on all
//.js and .jsx files
{test: /\.jsx?$/,
//we definitely don't want babel to transpile all the files in
//node_modules. That would take a long time.
/*exclude: /node_modules/,*/
//use the babel loader
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
//specify that we will be dealing with React code
presets: ['react']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
//tells webpack where to look for modules
modulesDirectories: ['node_modules'],
//extensions that should be used to resolve modules
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
}
}
And assets/bundles/index.js
var React = require('react')
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom')
//snaha//
var BooksList = React.createClass({
loadBooksFromServer: function(){
console.log(123454657);
$.ajax({
url: this.props.url,
datatype: 'json',
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
this.setState({data: data});
}.bind(this)
})
},
getInitialState: function() {
return {data: []};
},
ponentDidMount: function() {
this.loadBooksFromServer();
setInterval(this.loadBooksFromServer,
this.props.pollInterval)
},
render: function() {

console.log('DATA!')
var bookNodes = this.state.data.map(function(book){
return <li> {book.title} </li>
})
}
return (
<div>

<ul>
{bookNodes}
</ul>
</div>
)
}
})
ReactDOM.render(<BooksList url='/api/' pollInterval={1000} />,
document.getElementById('container'))
And templates/body.html

Reset to default 5Finally I've solved it! Problem was : it was trying to get variable react where as React.js on browser was providing variable React! So I simple change of externals of webpack.config.js to
externals: {
React: 'react'
},
solved the issue!
Next Problem Faced :
"process was not defined"
Solution : added
var env = process.env.WEBPACK_ENV;
to top of webpack.config.js and
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}
})
into the plugins part of model.export
So Final webpack.config.js would be :
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker');
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
var env = process.env.WEBPACK_ENV;
module.exports = {
//the base directory (absolute path) for resolving the entry option
context: __dirname,
//the entry point we created earlier. Note that './' means
//your current directory. You don't have to specify the extension now,
//because you will specify extensions later in the `resolve` section
entry: './assets/js/index',
output: {
//where you want your piled bundle to be stored
path: path.resolve('./assets/bundles/'),
//naming convention webpack should use for your files
filename: '[name]-[hash].js',
},
target: 'node', // in order to ignore built-in modules like path, fs, etc.
externals: {
React: 'react'
}, // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder
plugins: [
//tells webpack where to store data about your bundles.
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
//makes jQuery available in every module
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
//React: "react",
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}
})
],
module: {
loaders: [
//a regexp that tells webpack use the following loaders on all
//.js and .jsx files
{test: /\.jsx?$/,
//we definitely don't want babel to transpile all the files in
//node_modules. That would take a long time.
/*exclude: /node_modules/,*/
//use the babel loader
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
//specify that we will be dealing with React code
presets: ['react']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
//tells webpack where to look for modules
modulesDirectories: ['node_modules'],
//extensions that should be used to resolve modules
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
}
}
Now Enjoy React! Happy Coding :-)
Can you look if you have all the requirements installed.
Look inside package.json. You should have react noted in requirements if you do run.
npm install
If you don't, then run
npm install react --save
ps: in my option if you are running Webpack try to add babel to Webpack presets and write javascript in ES2015 specification.
