Is there a right way to pass data into a React component from the HTML page?

Question

I have a React app like this.

var X = React.createClass({
  componentDidMount: function() {
    fetch(this.props.feed).then(...);
  }
  render: function() {
             


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, dynamically generated pages that contain data relevant to the React stuff.

I just declared them in the global scope ..

.. THEN ..

ReactDOM.render(
  ,
  document.getElementById('app')
)

Obviously, from a namespacing perspective, this can have some drawbacks :)
