Candle counter recipe:

create().route('/', 'counter');

Cream.extend({
  _namespace : 'counter',

  candles : 0,

  increment : function() {
    this.set('candles', this.candles + 1);
  },

  render : function() {
    return h('button', { onClick : this.increment }, 'Candles on the Cake: ' + this.candles);

To enable JSX support, transpiler option have to be provided that names defaults with h (hyperscript) instead of react:

/** @jsx h */
