流星ReactJs和第三方js库

Question

I study Meteor with React. I don't how to do the following: I have 3rd party js library (it is not react or meteor ). Library drawing charts and receive data doing http request ( expecting http response as json type ).

Question

• how can I integrate this js library in my meteor + reactjs project to render on the page?

• how should I organize meteor server to response on http request coming from this library

Thanks Oleg

You could put the code of the 3rd party in the client folder, so it will be compiled into your app.

Then inside the component using this 3rd party, if the 3rd library requires initialization you should put the init code inside componentDidMount function. You should also keep a reference to the 3rd instance, if it requires further interactions:

class MyComponent extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.3rdCodeRef = 3rdCode.init();
  }
  render() {
    //...
  }
}
