Example: Invoking React Components from Ember

This repo contains a runnable demo that shows how to invoke a React component from an Ember app.

Run it

some-react-lib is intended to stand in for your library package that contains a React component.
app is the Ember app
- it contains a {{react}} element modifier that can render a React component into any dom element.
- the modifier is implemented in app/modifiers/react.js.
- in order to import the JSX component into the Ember app, we configure ember-auto-import with JSX support. The same webpack config could be passed to @embroider/compat instead, if you’re using Embroider rather than the classic build pipeline.

this example assumes your JSX is in a separate NPM package, so we’re importing it via ember-auto-import. If instead you want to make JSX work inside your app’s own package, you would need to move @babel/preset-react into the app’s own babel config.
remember to install ember-modifier. It’s not part of the default Ember app blueprint.
make sure your app declares its dependency on your library, otherwise ember-auto-import won’t be able to import it.
It’s a good idea for the library to declare a peerDependency on react so that it will definitely share the app’s copy.
