XHP-JS Example

This is a short example of xhp-js, using Composer and npm. The following are demonstrated:

• XHPJS::Instance()
• XHPJS::Element()
• jsCall()
• constructJSInstance()
• constructReactInstance()

Prerequisites

Recent versions of:

• HHVM
• NodeJS
• NPM

Installation

$ wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
$ hhvm composer.phar install

This will also execute npm install and npm run build; take a look at package.json and composer.json for details. In short, it installs:

• xhp-js (vendor/, node_modules/)
• xhp-lib (vendor/)
• React (node_modules/)
• Browserify (node_modules/)

It also builds a bundle.js combining the external dependencies with the example Javascript.
