Both of them are powerful on their own accord. Fusing them together may create superpower. We will walk through the process of adding React into Foundation. We will start by installing both Foundation and React through command line interface (CLI).

The details can be found at their respective websites. Both of them are well documented. React is a run-time UI rendering engine. It renders dynamic UI elements in its own fast virtual DOM, and only update necessary changes to the slow browser DOM. This behaves like a  double buffering DOM which makes any UI update feels fast. React wraps a UI rendering script in a component. A React component can ...
