We also updated the Webix-React demo with complex widgets on github demonstrating how to introduce Webix complex widgets, including Jet-based ones in a React project. By way of example, you will see the initialization of the File Manager and Spreadsheet, but note that you can initialize any Webix complex widget you need in the same way. The demo repository contains three branches:
- the main branch giving the examples of React custom class components with Webix widgets inside;
- the demo-function-component branch with the examples of React custom function components;
- the demo-provideplugin branch showing how to initialize a Jet-based complex widget.
Clone the repositories, go through the steps described in the README and try adding Webix widgets to your React app. Hope the updated demos will make things associated with integrating Webix UI into your project much easier for you.
