React 16 support
As mentioned in React 15.5 release notes, React.createClass (MDEditor.js#L13) and React.PropTypes (MDEditor.js#L16-L19) are now deprecated.
Are there any plans for making further releases with such replacements to make editor support React 16?
Wait, why is this hard to fix? Isn't is just refactor out React.createClass and React.PropTypes
As far as I remember there are something else to fix. I've tried to rewrite only createClass/PropTypes and faced with a bunch of another issues which I had no time to deal with. So I just posted generic issue with some proofs here.
Seeing as this one's not being maintained, the following might be a better option: https://github.com/andrerpena/react-mde
EDIT: Nevermind, I looked at the other one and get the idea that the developer is overengineering; it doesn't seem to have much additional functionality, yet uses like 10 times as many files to do it. (and ~3 times as many lines) Probably better just to patch up this one.
@Venryx the other one you mentioned (https://github.com/andrerpena/react-mde) uses Draft.js as the editor front end, so it has a lot more functionality than this project (revisions/history, pasting of files, images, links, removal by block, etc). So it's not just wasted extra files -- Draft.js is somewhat opinionated, but does a lot of heavy lifting. (Just dropping this as a note for anyone else encountering this project's issue and thinking of jumping ship.)
@johnsonsamuel I ended up working around this by using https://github.com/sstur/react-rte as an editor and https://github.com/rexxars/react-markdown as the renderer. They're both React first and have XSS safety unlike this module and https://github.com/andrerpena/react-mde
