JSX https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html
This is a good thing, trust me…
It’s not HTML in your JavaScript
It’s JavaScript in your JavaScript
// Input (JSX): var app = <Nav color="blue" />; //
Output (JS): var app = React.createElement( Nav, { color: "blue" } );
var HelloWorld = React.createClass({ render: function() { return <h1>Hello World!</h1>;
} }) ReactDOM.render( <HelloWorld />, document.getElementById('app') )
var HelloWorld = React.createClass({ render: function() { return <h1>Hello World!</h1>;
