+# Recipe: a panel in React
+
+A panel, an injection, an answer view or a markdown block can be drawn by
+React instead of Vue: the extension turns its React component into a
+`Mountable` with `reactComponent`, and the app gives it an element to draw
+into. Several frameworks live in one window at once; an error in one
+component replaces only that component with an error card. This recipe is the
+`react-panel` template
+(`npx @dolphy-app/create-extension <dir> --id acme.hello --template react-panel`).
+The files below are exactly what the generator writes for the id `acme.hello`.
+The commands and the panel are the ones of
+[recipe-command-panel.md](recipe-command-panel.md); only the panel changes. For a
+framework without a preset (Svelte, Lit, Solid) see
+[recipe-mountable.md](recipe-mountable.md).
+
+## The manifest and the build config
+
+File `extension.json` (react-panel):
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "./node_modules/@dolphy-app/extension-api/dist/extension.schema.json",
+  "id": "acme.hello",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "apiVersion": 1,
+  "name": "Hello React panel",
+  "description": "Palette commands that greet the learner and open a panel drawn with React.",
+  "author": "your-github-login",
+  "tags": ["productivity"]
+}
+```
+
+File `dolphy-ext.config.json` (react-panel):
+
+```json
+{
+  "frameworks": ["react"]
+}
+```
+
+`"frameworks"` lists the UI frameworks the client part is built for. The
+default is `["vue"]`, which is always on; `"react"` adds the React build: `.tsx`
+and `.jsx` files are compiled with the automatic JSX runtime (no `import React`),
+and `react` and `react-dom` go into `client.mjs`. They are ordinary
+dependencies of the project:
+
+```sh
+pnpm add -D react react-dom @types/react @types/react-dom
+```
+
+The TypeScript side needs the JSX mode in `tsconfig.json`:
+
+<!-- fragment -->
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "jsx": "react-jsx"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A `.tsx` file that has JSX but no `"react"` in `frameworks` fails the build
+with a message that names the config.
+
+## The server part
+
+File `src/index.ts` (react-panel):
+
+```ts
+export { client } from './client.tsx';
+export { server } from './server.ts';
+```
+
+File `src/server.ts` (react-panel):
+
+```ts
+import { defineServer, notify, openPanel } from '@dolphy-app/extension-sdk';
+
+// runs in the extension host: every call registers a contribution
+export const server = defineServer((s) => {
+  // palette command: shows a notification
+  s.registerCommand({
+    id: 'acme.hello.hello',
+    title: { en: 'Say hello', ru: 'Поздороваться' },
+    category: 'Hello',
+    run: (args) => {
+      const name = typeof args === 'string' ? args : 'world';
+      return notify(`Hello, ${name}!`);
+    },
+  });
+
+  // palette command: opens the panel (registered by the client) with properties
+  s.registerCommand({
+    id: 'acme.hello.open',
+    title: { en: 'Open the hello panel', ru: 'Открыть панель' },
+    category: 'Hello',
+    run: () => openPanel('acme.hello.view', { name: 'Dolphy' }),
+  });
+
+  // hidden from the palette (palette: false): the panel asks for data
+  s.registerCommand({
+    id: 'acme.hello.data',
+    title: 'Hello panel data',
+    palette: false,
+    run: () => ({ message: 'Hello from acme.hello' }),
+  });
+});
+```
+
+The server part is the same as in the command and panel recipe: it has no UI
+and never sees React.
+
+## The client part
+
+File `src/client.tsx` (react-panel):
+
+```tsx
+import { defineClient } from '@dolphy-app/extension-sdk';
+import type { PanelHandle, PanelProps } from '@dolphy-app/extension-sdk';
+import { reactComponent, usePanel } from '@dolphy-app/extension-sdk/react';
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+
+// `reactComponent` draws this component with React and gives it the props of
+// the panel; `usePanel()` is the handle with `call` for the commands of the
+// extension
+const HelloPanel = ({ props }: PanelProps) => {
+  const panel = usePanel();
+  const [message, setMessage] = useState('');
+  // the app opens the panel again with new properties: the component renders again
+  const name =
+    typeof props === 'object' && props !== null && 'name' in props
+      ? String(props.name)
+      : 'world';
+
+  const load = async () => {
+    const data = await panel.call('acme.hello.data');
+    setMessage((data as { message: string }).message);
+  };
+  useEffect(() => {
+    void load();
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <section>
+      <h2>Hello, {name}!</h2>
+      <p>{message}</p>
+      <button type="button" onClick={() => void load()}>
+        Reload
+      </button>
+    </section>
+  );
+};
+
+// runs in the app window: the panel is a `Mountable` the app draws into its own element
+export const client = defineClient((c) => {
+  c.addPanel({
+    id: 'acme.hello.view',
+    title: { en: 'Hello', ru: 'Привет' },
+    component: reactComponent<PanelProps, PanelHandle>(HelloPanel),
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- `reactComponent(Component)` from `@dolphy-app/extension-sdk/react` returns a
+  `Mountable`. It draws `<Component {...props} />` with `createRoot` into the
+  element the app gives it and draws again when the props, the theme or the
+  language change. `reactComponent<PanelProps, PanelHandle>(Panel)` names the
+  surface: the props type is `PanelProps` (`panelId`, `props`, `context`) in a
+  panel, `InjectionProps` in an injection, `AnswerViewProps` in an answer view
+  and `MarkdownBlockProps` in a markdown renderer. `{ strictMode: true }` as
+  the second argument wraps the tree in `React.StrictMode`.
+- The props of the component are `ctx.props`: here `props` is what the panel
+  was opened with, and a repeated `openPanel` with new properties draws the
+  component again.
+- The hooks `useApp()`, `useEngine()`, `useRpc(contract)`, `usePanel()` and
+  `useInjection()` are the ones of a Vue component, on React context.
+  `useTheme()` and `useLocale()` return the theme and the language and render
+  the component again when they change; `useMountContext()` is the whole
+  `MountContext` (`emit`, `signal`, `reportError`, …). Outside a component that
+  `reactComponent` draws they throw.
+- An error of the render goes to `ctx.reportError` by itself, and the app shows
+  the card "Extension <name>: <error>" with a "Retry" button in place of the
+  panel; the rest of the window works. React does not catch the errors of an
+  event handler or of async code: catch them there and call
+  `useMountContext().reportError(error)`.

+
+`mountForTest(mountable, { props, handle, … })` from
+`@dolphy-app/extension-sdk/testing` mounts the `Mountable` into a new `<div>` on
+a context the test controls, in `happy-dom`. It resolves to `{ el, ctx,
+setProps, setTheme, setLocale, emitted, errors, unmount }`: `setProps` draws
+the component with the next props, `emitted` and `errors` list the calls of
+`ctx.emit` and `ctx.reportError`, `handle` is what `usePanel()` returns.
+`createTestClient` records the `Mountable` as the `component` of the panel. The
+component is drawn synchronously, but what it loads in an effect arrives
+later, so the test waits for it with `vi.waitFor`.
+
+## What to know
+
+- No Vuetify components and no overlays of the app (`VDialog`, `VMenu`) in a
+  React component: Vuetify is a Vue library. Draw the dialogs yourself. The
+  theme reaches you through `useTheme()` (`{ id, dark }`) and through the
+  CSS variables of the window, such as `rgb(var(--v-theme-primary))`.
+- Every extension carries its own copy of React. A "hello, world" panel built
+  the way the tool builds it, without minification, is about 565 KB in
+  `client.mjs` and about 106 KB gzipped. There is no shared React between
+  extensions.
+- A plain `import './panel.css'` fails the build. Import the style sheet as
+  text (`import css from './panel.css?inline'`) and render it in a `<style>`
+  element of the component, or use the `style` attribute. The window document
+  is shared, so give the class names a prefix that cannot clash with the app.
+- Svelte, Solid and Lit have no preset; draw them from a `Mountable` (see
+  [recipe-mountable.md](recipe-mountable.md)) if you bundle them yourself.
+
+## Try and ship
+
+Run `pnpm dev`, start the app with `DOLPHY_DEV_EXTENSIONS`, open the palette and
+run "Open the hello panel".
