# Boilerplate for react with ES6 and browserify

This is a boilerplate repo for using react with ES6 and browserify, and running it with gulp.

It also supports Sass compilation.

## Installation

```
npm install
```

After the installation, run `gulp` and browse to _http://localhost:8888_

The compiled code can be found in dist/bundle/app.js.

## What do you get

* A gulpfile with livereload
* Compilation of the jsx [1]
* Compilation of ES6 to ES5 [2], [3]

## React with ES6

### ES6 classes

```js
import React from 'react'; // import react

class _MainSection {
render() {
return (


Example of React with es6 and browserify




);
}
}
export const MainSection = React.createClass(_MainSection.prototype);
```

We can create ES6 classes, but have to export it with `React.createClass` [5]. Importing the created files can be done like this:

```js
import {MainSection} from './components/MainSection.react.jsx';
```

### String templating for classes

```js
class _Body {
getClassName() {
return 'foo';
}

render() {
const x = 'x';

return (


Hello there!

);
}
}
```

As you can see, you can use template literals [6] to create your classnames.
