A simple way to convert React components into AngularJS components

react2ng1.js

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { fromPairs, map, pick } from "ramda";

/**
 * Wraps a React component into Angular component. Returns a new Angular component.
 *
 * Usage: angular.module('some.module').component('newAngularComponent', react2angular(MyReactComponent))
 * (the usage is the same as in similar lib https://github.com/coatue-oss/react2angular)
 */
export default function react2angular(Class) {
  const names = (Class.propTypes && Object.keys(Class.propTypes)) || [];

  class Ctrl {
    static get $inject() {
      return ["$element", "$scope"];
    }

    constructor($element, $scope) {
      this.$element = $element;
      this.$scope = $scope;
      this.wrapFn = this.wrapFn.bind(this);
    }

    wrapFn(prop) {
      if (typeof prop === "function") {
        return (...args) => {
          prop(...args);
          this.$scope.$applyAsync();
        };
      }
      return prop;
    }

    $onChanges() {
      const props = pick(names, this);

      // Wrap passed angular functions into $apply, because those functions
      // are supposed to be invoked within React
      // and we need to notify angular
      const wrappedProps = map(this.wrapFn, props);

      ReactDOM.render(<Class {...wrappedProps} />, this.$element[0]);
    }

    $onDestroy() {
      ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(this.$element[0]);
    }
  }

  return {
    bindings: fromPairs(names.map(name => [name, "<"])),
    controller: Ctrl
  };
}

Do you have an example usage, for example if you have a React component accepting X props, how do you include it in an Angular project with props and using this function?

Ah AngularJS not Angular..
