ReactDOM

ReasonReact's ReactDOM module is called ReactDOM. The module exposes helpers that work with familiar ReactJS idioms:

• ReactDOM.querySelector : string => option(Dom.element)
• ReactDOM.Client.createRoot : Dom.element => Client.root
• ReactDOM.Client.render : (Client.root, React.element) => unit
• ReactDOM.Client.hydrateRoot : (Dom.element, React.element) => Client.root
• ReactDOM.createPortal : (React.element, Dom.element) => React.element
• ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode : Dom.element => unit

More info about ReactDOM module can be found in the interface file: ReactDOM.rei or in the official react-dom documentation.

Usage

In React 18, the ReactDOM.render function is replaced by ReactDOM.Client.render.

let element = ReactDOM.querySelector("#root");
switch (element) {
| None => Js.log("#root element not found");
| Some(element) => {
  let root = ReactDOM.Client.createRoot(element);
  ReactDOM.Client.render(<Greeting name="John" />, root);
}
}

Hydration

Hydration is the process of converting a static HTML page into a dynamic React app.

let element = ReactDOM.querySelector("#root");
switch (element) {
| None => Js.log("#root element not found");
| Some(element) => {
  /* root is a ReactDOM.Client.root and used to render on top of the existing HTML
     with ReactDOM.Client.render or unmount, via ReactDOM.Client.unmount. */
  let _root = ReactDOM.Client.hydrateRoot(<Greeting name="John" />, element);
  ();
}
}

ReactDOMServer

ReasonReact's equivalent of ReactDOMServer from react-dom/server exposes

• renderToString : React.element => string
• renderToStaticMarkup : React.element => string

More info about ReactDOMServer can be found in the official React documentation.
