* Description

ES6 and JSX ready configuration layer for React
It will automatically recognize =.jsx= and =.react.js= files

It will also recognize =/** @jsx React.DOM */= if it is the first line.

** Features
- on-the-fly syntax checking
- proper syntax highlight and indentation with jsx
- ternjs turbocharged autocompletion as in js2-mode
- jsfmt automatic formatting
- js2-refactor
- js-doc

* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =react= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

You will also need to install =tern= to use the auto-completion and
documentation features:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  $ npm install -g tern
#+END_SRC

To use the on-the-fly syntax checking, install =eslint= with babel and react support:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  $ npm install -g eslint babel-eslint eslint-plugin-react
#+END_SRC

If your project do not use a custom =.eslintrc= file I strongly advice you to try out this one by Airbnb:
[[https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/blob/master/linters/.eslintrc][.eslintrc]]

In order to use automatic code formatting you need to install ~js-beautify~ with:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  $ npm install -g js-beautify
#+END_SRC

Be sure to have the ~e4x~ option set to ~true~ on your ~.jsbeautifyrc~ here it is my configuration as an example:
#+BEGIN_SRC json
  {
    "indent_size": 2,
    "indent_char": " ",
    "eol": "\n",
    "indent_level": 0,
    "indent_with_tabs": false,
    "preserve_newlines": true,
    "max_preserve_newlines": 2,
    "jslint_happy": false,
    "space_after_anon_function": false,
    "brace_style": "collapse",
    "keep_array_indentation": false,
    "keep_function_indentation": false,
    "space_before_conditional": true,
    "break_chained_methods": true,
    "eval_code": false,
    "unescape_strings": false,
    "wrap_line_length": 80,
    "wrap_attributes": "auto",
    "wrap_attributes_indent_size": 2,
    "e4x": true,
    "end_with_newline": true
  }
#+END_SRC

* Optional Configuration

You may refer to the =web-mode= configuration for fine tuning the indenting behaviour.

For example to have a consistent 2 spaces indenting both on =js= and =jsx= you may use these settings:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq-default
   ;; js2-mode
   js2-basic-offset 2
   ;; web-mode
   css-indent-offset 2
   web-mode-markup-indent-offset 2
   web-mode-css-indent-offset 2
   web-mode-code-indent-offset 2
   web-mode-attr-indent-offset 2)
#+end_src

And if you want to have 2 space indent also for element's attributes, concatenations and contiguous function calls:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (with-eval-after-load 'web-mode
    (add-to-list 'web-mode-indentation-params '("lineup-args" . nil))
    (add-to-list 'web-mode-indentation-params '("lineup-concats" . nil))
    (add-to-list 'web-mode-indentation-params '("lineup-calls" . nil)))
#+end_src
