https://github.com/jsdotlua/react-luaA high-performance Lua translation of ReactJS 17.x designed for Lua and Roblox environments with Luau type support. This community fork includes ports of core React packages such as react-reconciler, scheduler, react-is, and react-shallow-renderer, as well as a Roblox-opinionated renderer (react-roblox-reconciler) and a compatibility layer for Roact 1.4.0 (roact-compat).
roact-compat is a thin compatibility layer designed to bridge Roact 1.4.0 with the newer Roact alignment effort (often called "Roact 17").
It is not an upstream package; instead, it is a specialized layer used to encapsulate specific deviations required to maintain compatibility with production Roact environments during the transition to the new alignment.
react-noop-renderer package from the original React repository. It provides a 'no-op' (no operation) renderer, which is typically used for testing or for scenarios where you want to execute React logic (like hooks or component lifecycles) without actually rendering to a physical UI or DOM.@jsdotlua/jest-react package is a Roblox Lua port of the jest-react package from the original React repository. It provides specialized Jest matchers and utilities designed for testing components rendered via a React Test Renderer in a Lua environment.react-shallow-renderer is a Roblox Lua port of the react-shallow-reconciler package from React. It is primarily used for running integration-level tests. It is expected to be useful with the Roblox renderer as integration improves.The react-roblox-reconciler is a Roblox-opinionated renderer designed to serve as a replacement for native renderers like react-dom within the Roblox environment.
Note: This package is currently under construction and its status is marked as 🔨 Under Construction.
The react-cache package provides a basic caching mechanism for React applications. It is primarily intended as a reference implementation for more advanced caching strategies and is designed to be used alongside experimental React features.
Warning: This package is unstable and intended for demonstration purposes only. Do not use it in a production application.
React Lua is a Roblox Lua port of the official react package from Facebook's React. It serves as the main entry point for using React within a Lua/Roblox environment.
Note on Implementation: This port includes significant deviations in ReactBaseClasses.lua to better accommodate Lua-specific idioms for objects, constructors, and inheritance compared to the original JavaScript implementation.
React Lua is a comprehensive translation of ReactJS 17.x from JavaScript into Lua. It is designed for high performance and correctness, specifically targeting the Lua and Roblox ecosystems.
Key features include:
roblox/react-lua, intended to provide a public, contributable, and easily accessible version of React for the global Lua community.react-reconciler package is a Roblox Lua port of the original React react-reconciler. It contains the core reconciler logic that drives various renderers. It is currently a work in progress.@jsdotlua/react-is package is a Roblox Lua port of the original React react-is package. It provides constants and runtime check functions used to identify various valid types of React elements. This is useful when you need to perform type checks on elements or components during runtime to ensure they match expected patterns.The shared module is a Roblox Lua port of the shared pseudo-package from the original React monorepo. It provides common utilities and definitions used across the React ecosystem.
Note that because this is a port to Luau, some behaviors and types differ from the JavaScript original:
ReactTypes.js are simplified into a stub named ReactTypes.roblox.lua.ReactComponentStackFrame.roblox.lua is a partially-ported stub. It does not yet contain the full logic for parsing/navigating JS-specific stack structures.isValidElement.lua has slight modifications to accommodate the fact that in this port, Components and PureComponents are tables, whereas in JavaScript they are functions.react-test-renderer is a Roblox Lua port of the react-test-reconciler package from React. It is designed for running integration-level tests.
Current Status: 🔨 Partially Ported.
Currently, the package only includes configurations for testing with the noop renderer. The actual test renderer implementation is currently excluded from this port.
