Introducing redux in existing web application (JSP) with ReactJS

I'm migrating a web application Java/jsp to a reactjs.



The pages are built with jsp templates, which compose the final HTML.
So I cannot use (yet) Reactjs to render my entire application, but just for render some component into the DOM.



So I have a mixed rendering, like this



<html>
</html>
<body>
<header></header> <!-- JSP code -->
<div id="myComponent"></div> <!-- this is rendered by react -->
<article></article> <!-- JSP code -->
<div id="myOtherComponent"></div> <!-- this is rendered by react -->
<footer></footer> <!-- JSP code -->
</body>


Everyhting works fine so far, so I'm trying to introduce Redux to handle the state, but I got stucked when I should render the <Provider /> component as the docs says, since I don't have an entry point for my application.



So I tried adding one, wrapping all my app code into a div:



<html></html>
<body>
<div id="app">
<header></header>
<!-- etc... -->
</div>
</body>


And then in my index.js



render(
<Provider store={store}>
<div />
</Provider>,
window.document.getElementById('app')
);


But of course it doesn't work, all my page is blank now, and the block <div id="app"> is empty



Does this Provider element must include all my components in order to work? Can I use Redux with this mixed setup?



I'm kind of lost, any help would be great.

    You need to create a single store somewhere and pass it to multiple Provider components for each of your components that you render separately

  • ahhhhh @Ujin i thought i could create just one Provider element (dunno why), i'll try out, thank you

The Provider component should wrap all the components that will use your Redux store via connect(). Redux documentation recommends just wrapping all components in Provider because there is no problem since you're just using a single store.



In React you shouldn't need to ever put elements directly in the body because this is done dynamically.



Here is an example of what your main application files should look like:



index.html



<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
... some scripts/css...
</head>
<body>
<div id="root">
// intentionally nothing here. will be dynamically inserted via React later
</div>
</body>
</html>


entry.tsx:



ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
<header></header> <!-- JSP code -->
<div id="myComponent"></div> <!-- this is rendered by react -->
<article></article> <!-- JSP code -->
<div id="myOtherComponent"></div> <!-- this is rendered by react -->
<footer></footer>
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('root')
);


To make an entry point simply add the following to your webpack config file:



module.exports = {
entry: './entry.tsx',
...
}


This is the barebones of a React-Redux application that you should follow when you are ready to transition.
