Hi, i’m quite new to react and i really like the idea of having a virtual DOM and not having dependencies like jquery, but i really don’t like having the logic/model in a big react component. Do you have or know where i can find an implementation of MVVM or something similar with react?

React.js is very interesting, good read, thanks for sharing.

@Daniel – I think James’ example is more useful (and probably intentional) as it implies/demonstrates that the stuff in the curly braces is a JavaScript expression.

For your first example, this should work as well:

return <div>Hello {this.props.name}div>;

It will compile to the same thing, but I think it looks cleaner without the string concatenation 🙂
