Add-ons

The React add-ons are a collection of useful utility modules for building React apps. These should be considered experimental and tend to change more often than the core.

• TransitionGroup and CSSTransitionGroup, for dealing with animations and transitions that are usually not simple to implement, such as before a component's removal.
• LinkedStateMixin, to simplify the coordination between user's form input data and the component's state.
• cloneWithProps, to make shallow copies of React components and change their props.
• createFragment, to create a set of externally-keyed children.
• update, a helper function that makes dealing with immutable data in JavaScript easier.
• PureRenderMixin, a performance booster under certain situations.
• shallowCompare, a helper function that performs a shallow comparison for props and state in a component to decide if a component should update.

The add-ons below are in the development (unminified) version of React only:

• TestUtils, simple helpers for writing test cases.
• Perf, a performance profiling tool for finding optimization opportunities.

To get the add-ons, install them individually from npm (e.g., npm install react-addons-pure-render-mixin). We don't support using the addons if you're not using npm.
