How to load es6, react, babel code in html with cdn?

babeljs, javascript, reactjs

Solution

You need to use `babel standalone` script to transpile the code, and you need to include the script for `react and react-dom`. If you include these tags in your `<head>`, it will work:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/6.24.0/babel.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>

Reason why it works with codepen: check the setting/javascript, there you will find the babel is selected as JavaScript Preprocessor, codepen is including the script automatically, but to run these files locally you need to include the `standalone script`.

Update:

1- You need to define the script after the div in which you are rendering the react code, otherwise it will throw the error. like this:

<body> 
   <div id="root"></div> 
   <script type="text/babel" src="pomodoro.js"></script>
</body>

2- Use `ReactDOM.render` instead of `React.render`.

Check the working code:

<html>

<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/6.24.0/babel.js"></script>
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
   <div id='root'></div>
   <script type='text/babel'>

            <button className="setting-button" id="add-timer" onClick={this.props.add}>+</button>

class SetBreak extends React.Component{

Problem

I have Codepen code that I'm trying to replicate on an web page using just three files, index.html, main.js, and style.css. I tried loading these scripts on the head tag of HTML file. ``` <script src="https://npmcdn.com/babel-transform-in-browser@6.4.6/dist/btib.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.7/react.min.js"></script> ``` However, it's not working. All I get is this error ``` Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < ``` what are necessary CDN script files to load this react-code to HTML?
