## Quick start
To install in your app:
```
npm install --save react@15.6 react-dom@15.6 react-native-web
```
NOTE: React Native for Web supports React/ReactDOM 15.4, 15.5, or 15.6.
Install in your existing app using `yarn` or `npm`:
```
yarn add react@15.6 react-dom@15.6 react-native-web
```
Then read the [Getting Started](docs/guides/getting-started.md) guide.

# Getting started
This guide will help you to correctly configure build and test tools to work
with React Native for Web.
Alternatively, you can quickly setup a local project using
[create-react-app](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app)
(which supports `react-native-web` out-of-the-box once installed),
[react-native-web-starter](https://github.com/grabcode/react-native-web-starter),
or [react-native-web-webpack](https://github.com/ndbroadbent/react-native-web-webpack).
with React Native for Web. (Alternatively, you can quickly setup a local
project using the starter kits listed in the README.)
It is recommended that your application provide a `Promise` and `Array.from`
polyfill.
## Webpack and Babel
## Web packager
[Webpack](https://webpack.js.org) is a popular build tool for web apps. Below is an
example of how to configure a build that uses [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) to
compile your JavaScript for the web.
Create a `web/webpack.config.js` file:
```js
// webpack.config.js
// web/webpack.config.js
// This is needed for webpack to compile JavaScript.
// Many OSS React Native packages are not compiled to ES5 before being

Please refer to the Webpack documentation for more information.
## Jest
[Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/) also needs to map `react-native` to `react-native-web`.
To run in development:
```
"jest": {
"moduleNameMapper": {
"react-native": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native-web"
}
}
./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server -d --config web/webpack.config.js --inline --hot --colors
```
Please refer to the Jest documentation for more information.
To build for production:
```
./node_modules/.bin/webpack -p --config web/webpack.config.js
```
Please refer to the Webpack documentation for more information on configuration.
## Web entry
Create a `index.web.js` file (or simply `index.js` for web-only apps).
### Client-side rendering
Rendering using `AppRegistry`:
```js
// index.web.js
import App from './src/App';
import React from 'react';
import ReactNative, { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
// register the app
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => App);
AppRegistry.runApplication('App', {
initialProps: {},
rootTag: document.getElementById('react-app')
});
```
Rendering within existing web apps is also possible using `ReactNative`:
```js
import AppHeader from './src/AppHeader';
import React from 'react';
import ReactNative from 'react-native';
ReactNative.render(<AppHeader />, document.getElementById('react-app-header'))
```
And finally, `react-native-web` components will also be rendering within a tree
produced by calling `ReactDOM.render` (i.e., an existing web app), but
otherwise it is not recommended.
### Server-side rendering
Server-side rendering is supported using the `AppRegistry`:
```js
import App from './src/App';
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server'
import ReactNative, { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'
// register the app
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => App)
// prerender the app
const { element, stylesheets } = AppRegistry.getApplication('App', { initialProps });
const initialHTML = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element);
const initialStyles = stylesheets.map((sheet) => ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(sheet)).join('\n');
// construct HTML document
const document = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
${initialStyles}
</head>
<body>
${initialHTML}
`
```
## Web-specific code
Minor platform differences can use the `Platform` module.
```js
import { AppRegistry, Platform } from 'react-native'
import { Platform } from 'react-native';
AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyApp', () => MyApp)
if (Platform.OS === 'web') {
AppRegistry.runApplication('MyApp', {
rootTag: document.getElementById('react-root')
});
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
height: (Platform.OS === 'web') ? 200 : 100,
});
```
More significant platform differences should use platform-specific files (see

## Client-side rendering
## Testing with Jest
Rendering using `ReactNative`:
[Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/) also needs to map `react-native` to `react-native-web`.
```js
import React from 'react'
import ReactNative from 'react-native'
// component that renders the app
const AppHeaderContainer = (props) => { /* ... */ }
ReactNative.render(<AppHeaderContainer />, document.getElementById('react-app-header'))
```
"jest": {
"moduleNameMapper": {
"react-native": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native-web"
}
}
```
Rendering using `AppRegistry`:
```js
import React from 'react'
import ReactNative, { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'
// component that renders the app
const AppContainer = (props) => { /* ... */ }
// register the app
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => AppContainer)
AppRegistry.runApplication('App', {
initialProps: {},
rootTag: document.getElementById('react-app')
})
```
Rendering within `ReactDOM.render` also works when introducing
`react-native-web` to an existing web app, but otherwise it is not recommended.
## Server-side rendering
Rendering using the `AppRegistry`:
```js
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server'
import ReactNative, { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'
// component that renders the app
const AppContainer = (props) => { /* ... */ }
// register the app
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => AppContainer)
// prerender the app
const { element, stylesheets } = AppRegistry.getApplication('App', { initialProps });
const initialHTML = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element);
const initialStyles = stylesheets.map((sheet) => ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(sheet)).join('\n');
// construct HTML document
const document = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
${initialStyles}
</head>
<body>
${initialHTML}
`
