React-JUCE

Write cross-platform native apps with React.js and JUCE

React-JUCE (formerly named Blueprint) is a hybrid JavaScript/C++ framework that enables a React.js frontend for a JUCE application or plugin. It provides an embedded, ES5 JavaScript engine via Duktape, native hooks for rendering the React component tree to juce::Component instances, and a flexbox layout engine via Yoga.

For more information, see the introductory blog post here: Blueprint: A JUCE Rendering Backend for React.js

Status

Approaching Beta. We hope to announce a beta release in the coming weeks, after which we will aim our focus at stability and completeness on the path to a 1.0 release.

Anticipated Breaking Changes

• We'll be renaming Blueprint to react-juce before beta (#34)
• Updating the examples and npm init template to point to npm instead of the local package
• ReactApplicationRoot::evaluate and ReactApplicationRoot::evaluateFile (#115)
• Refactoring the hot reloader and decoupling the EcmascriptEngine from ReactApplicationRoot (#65)

Examples

React-JUCE is a young project, but already it provides the framework on which the entire user interface for Creative Intent's Remnant plugin is built.

Besides that, you can check out the example code in the examples/ directory. See the "Documentation" section below for building and running the demo plugin. If you have a project written with React-JUCE that you want to share, get in touch! I would love to showcase your work.
