Multiple React components in a single module

I am new to the whole browserify thing. I have been trying to use browserify + reactify + gulp to transform, minify and combine a React application. As long as I have a single React.createClass with a single module.exports = MyComponent everything works fine. Since I have several shared components I physically host in the same file and reuse across projects, I would like to export more than one component. I have tried an array:

module.exports = [Component1, Component2]

and have also tried an object with multiple properties:

module.exports = {Comp1: Componenet1, Comp2: Component2} and have also tried in-lining the calls to createClass in the object, but that didn't help.

Is there a way to do this or do I have to split every component in to a seperate JSX file?

Solution

  • I have put multiple components in one file and export the object like you suggested. 

    module.exports = {
    comp1: Component1,
    comp2: Component2
}

    Then where they are used do 

    var comp1 = require('your/path/to/components').comp1;
var comp2 = require('your/path/to/components').comp2;
