Live_react - React inside Phoenix LiveView
I needed to reuse React components from my Chrome extension in my Phoenix/LiveView backend. I noticed that for Svelte/Vue, there are live_vue and live_svelte. So, I created the equivalent in React, live_react:
https://github.com/mrdotb/live_react
Here is a small demo on Fly: demo.
I have not yet implemented SSR, slots, sigil, and the macro to generate components.

live_react has been picking up interest, as seen in projects like PhoenixAnalytics. Inspired by the Server-Side Rendering (SSR) features in live_svelte and live_vue, I’ve implemented it for live_react.
I released a 0.2.0-beta and will release 0.2.0 when I’m confident the SSR feature is production ready.

I released the stable v1.0.0
I have been using live_react in production for different project.
Breaking Changes:
- vitejs: switch from Mix Esbuild to Vite.js
Features:
- add tests based on the one from live_vue
- add SSR support
- support inner_block slot
- context provider for live_react
- add typescript support

Great work! I do wonder if there is some kind of shared abstraction these libraries could build on - if there was something like live_vite or live_frontend, or something like that, then have adaptors for each FE framework.

Hi! Welcome to the Elixir community, and thanks for your interest!
LiveReact isn’t a full React framework like inertia-phoenix —it lets you render React components inside LiveView / DeadView, not replace it. You can check out the demo to see it in action.
For internals, the source code is short and worth reading.
Regarding scaffolding
There’s already a Mix task to help with setup—see the [installation guide]
