Some equivalent in react for appendchild(). I try with state but don't work.

Any suggestion or tips?

[turansky]

child?

[frank]

I have <ul> list and need that every time I call onclick event is append <li> element in my list.

child?

child only define child element but not append in nodeList

I have managed to do it with React.state but i need declare initvalue of state with my <li> elements.

Some simple way to convert HTMLCollection to array or any alternative to React.state?

Looks like you want create elements outside render method.

Possibly you don't need React? :)

@turansky, Possibly you don't need React? :)

My list is react component and need modify DOM for add new item. I understand that I have to use react for modify virtual DOM.

DOM change - result of state or props change

Click -> state update -> render -> DOM update

@turansky thx, with your last comment I finally understand render cycle and I can clean a lot of redundant code.
