Integration with non-React 3rd party libs
Example: jQueryUI
Rules
- We should never change props and put children into
divs that are used by 3rd party libs- never touch the minimal structure that's necessary for the 3rd party lib to run properly
- the minimal structure also shouldn't malform any React stuff
- they may become malformed by React
- never touch the minimal structure that's necessary for the 3rd party lib to run properly
- We should always cleanup the 3rd party library in componentWillUnmount to prevent memory leaks
- we should always create component that contains the external library (Blackbox-like, for the rest of the application)
