Bindings toReact forjs_of_ocaml, including JSX ppx.

Adapted fromReasonReact.

jsoo-react allows to use React from OCaml, but it is still at theexperimental phase: there is no published version inopam yet, and the library is expected to break backwards compatibility often.

Bug reports and contributions are welcome!

For new projects, the best way to start is by usingthe jsoo-react template.

1. Install thejsoo-react package:

   opam pin add -y jsoo-react https://github.com/ml-in-barcelona/jsoo-react.git

2. Addjsoo-react library and ppx todune file of your executable JavaScript app:

   (executables(names index)(modes js)(libraries jsoo-react.lib)(preprocess  (pps jsoo-react.ppx)))

3. Provision React.js library

   jsoo-react usesrequire to import React and ReactDOM. This means that you will likely need to use a bundler such as Webpack or rollup.js.

   Note that at this moment,jsoo-react is compatible withReact 16, so be sure to have the appropriate constraints in yourpackage.json.
