Embed React app
This is a simple way how to embed react application in to your post. In my blog, a wanted include small application, but typical react app is a single page app, hardly linked in index.html. He needed a simple way to solve it. The result is visible on my blog, for example: Embeding Google Photos album.
How to do it
You need compiled React app hosted on public url. Find filenames after building an application. If you using create-ract-app script, all what you need, find in “static” directory. Assemble file names into a shortcode like this:
[reactapp id="root" js="pathto/static/js/main.000000.js" css="pathto/static/css/main.000000.css"]
[reactapp id="custom_id" "pathto/static/js/main.000000.js" "pathto/static/css/main.000000.css" "pathto/static/css/another.css"]
- id – ID of application root element
- js[n] – path to Java script bundle
- css[n] – path to Stylesheet
- (files are detected automaticly by extension js/css)
That’s all.
When application was updated, you must setup new links to shortcode.
