How to load es6, react, babel code in html with cdn?

Solution 1:

You need to use babel standalone script to transcompile the code, and you need to include the script for react and react-dom, use these it will work:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/6.24.0/babel.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>

Reason why it is working with codepen: check the setting/javascript, there you will find the babel is selected as JavaScript Preprocessor, codepen is including the script automatically, but to run these files locally you need to include the standalone script.

Update:

1- You need to define the script after the div in which you are rendering the react code, otherwise it will throw the error. like this:

<body> 
   <div id="root"></div> 
   <script type="text/babel" src="pomodoro.js"></script>
</body>

2- Use ReactDOM.render instead of React.render.

Check the working code:

<html>

<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/6.24.0/babel.js"></script>
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
   <div id='root'></div>
   <script type='text/babel'>
       class SetTimer extends React.Component{    
  render(){
    return (   
      <div className="set-timer">work <br/> session         
          <div className="minus-add">
            <button className="setting-button" id="minus-timer" onClick={this.props.minus}>-</button>
            <button className="setting-button" id="add-timer" onClick={this.props.add}>+</button>
          </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
} 

class SetBreak extends React.Component{
  
  render(){
    return (   
      <div className="set-break"> break<br/> session 
          <div className="minus-add">
            <button className="setting-button" id="minus-break" onClick={this.props.minusbreak}>-</button>

ReactDOM.render(

Here's a simpler example for the minimalists in the room:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset='UTF-8'>
    <title>Minimal Static React</title>
    <script src='https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react.production.min.js'></script>
    <script src='https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react-dom.production.min.js'></script>
    <script src='https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/babel.js'></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id='root'></div>

    <script type='text/babel'>
      class App extends React.Component {
        constructor(props) {
          super(props)
          this.state = {count: 1}
          this.increase = this.increase.bind(this)
          this.decrease = this.decrease.bind(this)
        }

        increase() {
          this.setState({'count': this.state.count+1})
        }

        decrease() {
          this.setState({'count': this.state.count-1})
        }

        render() {
          return (
            <div>
              <h1>Count: { this.state.count }</h1>
              <div onClick={this.increase}>+</div>
              <div onClick={this.decrease}>-</div>
            </div>
          )
        }
      }

      ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('#root'));
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Solution 3:

<head>
<title>Beginner's Guide to React</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/react-dom.production.min.js">       </script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/babel.js"></script>

<script type="text/babel">
    const rootElement = document.getElementById('root');

     const element = React.createElement('div',{className:''},'Hello World' );

     ReactDOM.render(element, rootElement);

</script>

Solution 4:

You have to provide appropriate scripts to support React and ES6+, mentioned below:

  • React and ReactDOM which can be copied from official website on page "CDN Links" https://reactjs.org/docs/cdn-links.html
  • Babel Standalone converts ECMAScript 2015+ into compatible version of JavaScript for your browser, CDN usage is described in official documentation, check babel standalone section: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-standalone.html

Finally let's summarize mentioned above with simple .html example

<html>
<head>
    <!-- https://reactjs.org/docs/cdn-links.html -->
    <script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.development.js"></script>
    <script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
    <!-- https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-standalone.html -->
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@babel/standalone/babel.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="react-container"></div>
    <script type="text/babel">
        const App = () => <div>Hello!</div>
        ReactDOM.render(
        <App />, document.getElementById('react-container'))
    </script>
</body>
</html>
