of the modularity requirements it brings to the table.
With all this in mind, here's how you go about skinning the react SDK UI
components to embed a Matrix client into your app: TODO. For now, check out
the examples and work it out for yourself...
components to embed a Matrix client into your app:
* Create a new NPM project. Be sure to directly depend on react, (otherwise
you can end up with two copies of react).
* Create an index.js file that sets up react. Add require statements for
React, the ComponentBroker and matrix-react-sdk and a call to Render
the root React element as in the examples.
* Create React classes for any custom components you wish to add. These
can be based off the files in `views` in the `matrix-react-sdk` package,
modifying the require() statement appropriately.
You only need to copy files you want to customise.
* Add a ComponentBroker.set() call for each of your custom components. These
must come *before* `require("matrix-react-sdk")`.
* Add a way to build your project: we suggest copying the browserify calls
from the example projects, but you could use grunt or gulp.
* Create an index.html file pulling in your compiled index.js file, the
CSS bundle from matrix-react-sdk.
For more specific detail on any of these steps, look at the `custom` example in
matrix-react-sdk/examples.
