react: [New Docs] Docs Bugs & Issues

The documentation and source code for reactjs.org now lives in a different repository: reactjs/reactjs.org. (For more info on why we made this move, see issue #11075.)

I’ve moved this issue to the new repo: reactjs/reactjs.org#84

Let’s continue the discussion there!

PRs welcome!

@kkemple go for it!

Tiny (possible?) typo: in reference-react.md, the code for React.Children.count omits React which could be slightly confusing to newcomers.

More feedback: people are used to seeing version number on homepage. Can we add it somewhere and also link to the changelog for good measure?

@gaearon the uncontrolled form example on https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html#uncontrolled-components is passing value, so it’s actually a controlled example.

The correct example would be something like:

class Form extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
  }

  handleSubmit(event) {
    alert("Text field value is: '" + this.textInput.value + "'");
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input
          type="text"
          placeholder="Hello!"
          ref={(input) => this.textInput = input}
        />
        <button onClick={this.handleSubmit}>Submit</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<Form />, document.getElementById('root'));

Great job on new docs all, love the live editor with error handling.

Just curious: Any reason why var is used on all the homepage tutorials? Curious whether there’s a “best practice” on this… would have thought const where possible, otherwise let?

@luqmaan Thanks, fixed. Let us know if you find more broken links.
