(今回のタイトルはどうですか？)
I've been wondering about how to apply jQuery plugins like Gridster while keeping elements inside those compounds as React components. One example I found was a demo using jQuery-sortable, done by Pete Hunt. I decided to try to steal his design while trying to fit it to better fit usage in Gridster.
I don't know if there's a whole lot to say, other than that I prevent render() from doing much and rely on gridster to handle DOM manipulation and mount the components myself.
I think there are some obvious enhancements that could be made here though, like adding event handler methods to make the grid alert changes back to the application in order to update the application of different items' positions on the grid and their sizes (with resizing enabled).
