Example of Usage

Here comes an example of a Button dumb component made with Semantic UI and classSolver.

Button.jsx

import React from 'react';
import solveClass from 'react-attribute-as-class';

const Button = ({children, ...other}) => {
	let classes = solveClass(other, ['primary', 'disabled', 'huge'], ['ui', 'button']);

	return (
		<button className={classes} {...other}>
			{ children }
		</button>
	);
}

export default Button;

main.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Button from './components/Button.jsx';

var buttonOk = document.getElementById('button_render_ok');
var buttonFail = document.getElementById('button_render_fail');

ReactDOM.render(<Button primary huge>Nice Button!</Button>, buttonOk); // Will render a beautiful huge button.
ReactDOM.render(<Button secondary mini>Not so nice Button!</Button>, buttonOk); // These attributes will not be rendered as classes, as have been not passed in possibleClasses, but will still have defaultClases.
