Before we continue lets describe briefly what React.js and WebRTC are.</p> <p>The application from this tutorial is <a href="https://github.com/mgechev/ReactChat">available at GitHub</a>.</p> <h4 id="reactjs">React.js</h4> <p>React.js is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_programming">reactive</a> JavaScript framework, which helps you to build user interface. Facebook states that we can think of React as the &ldquo;V&rdquo; in MVC. React&rsquo;s main aspect is the state. When the state of the application changes this automatically propagates through the application&rsquo;s components. A React component is a self-contained module, which is composed by one or more other components. Usually the component depends on state, which is being provided by a parent component. May be the explanation seems quite abstract now, but during the tutorial the picture will get much more clear.</p>
