Question

I'm trying to use React.js in a Tizen web application. When I import react.js and react-dom.js in the IDE and attempt to build, the build process gets stuck and doesn't complete.

I'd like to know:

Is React.js usage supported in Tizen web applications?
If it is supported, are there any specific methods or workarounds to make it work properly?

Answer

Problem Understanding

The issue occurs when trying to build a Tizen web application using React.js, where the build process gets stuck at 100% completion. This appears to be related to using the uncompressed versions of React libraries.

Solution Methods

Use minified React libraries:
- Replace react.js and react-dom.js with their minified versions (react.min.js and react-dom.min.js)
- This typically resolves the build process hanging issue
Include Babel for JSX transformation:
- Add browser.min.js from Babel Core to handle JSX syntax
- This is necessary for React component rendering
Build process workaround:
- If the build gets stuck, cancel and restart the build process
- This temporary solution has worked for some developers

            <h1>React App</h1>
        </div>
        <div class="ui-content">
            <div id="example"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script type="text/babel">
        ReactDOM.render(
            <span>Hello, Tizen!</span>,
            document.getElementById('example')
        );
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Additional Tips

Always use the latest stable versions of React and Babel
Test your application in the Web Simulator before deploying
For React documentation and samples, refer to the official React documentation
