renderToString

[si14]

renderToString of components should be very useful for server-side rendering.

Yep this will likely land before I cut 0.1.6.

Turns out in order for this to work a bug in React must be addressed first - facebook/react#860

FWIW, still doesn't work with the latest React (4974734)

(.renderComponentToString js/React (dom/p nil))
; <p data-reactid=\".q\" data-react-checksum=\"1813907431\"></p>
(.renderComponentToString js/React (dom/input nil))
; Cannot read property 'firstChild' of undefined

Though, the bug you filed seems to be resolved.

This would be really useful to RDD.

@hura I could not confirm this. It works for me using React master.

Fixed in master and works with React 0.9-rc1. There are somer remaining edge cases but overall this works.
