react-html-classname

React Html ClassName ==================== Provides a declarative way to specify document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].className in a single-page app. This component can be used on server side as well. Built with React Side Effect. ====================

Installation

``` npm install --save react-html-classname ``` Dependencies: React >= 0.13.0

Features

• Does not emit DOM, not even a <noscript>;

• Like a normal React compoment, can use its parent's props and state;

• Can be defined in many places throughout the application;

• Supports arbitrary levels of nesting, combining each className;

• Works just as well with isomorphic apps.

Example

```jsx class SomeComponent { render() {

// This will add 'home' to the html

return (

<HtmlClassName className='home'>

<h1>Home, sweet home.</h1>

</HtmlClassName>

);

} } class App { render() {

// This will add 'app' to the html

return (

<HtmlClassName className='app'>

<SomeComponent/>

</HtmlClassName>

);

// Becaase we nested the component, our html will now have 'app home'

// as the class name

} } ``` Use CSS modules with webpack or similar? ```jsx import styles from './some.css'; class Thing { render() {

return (

<HtmlClassName className={styles.html}>

<h1>CSS modules rock!</h1>

</HtmlClassName>

);

} } ```

Server Usage

If you use it on server, call HtmlClassName.rewind() after rendering components to string to retrieve the combined class name. You can then embed this className into HTML page template. Because this component keeps track of mounted instances, you have to make sure to call rewind on server, or you'll get a memory leak.
