Babel in browser - update readme

[cguinnup]

Not sure if this is intended behavior, but the README is not clear that "JSXTransformer" must be pointed to Babel's browser.js for browser-based Babel transformation to work:

paths: {
...
JSXTransformer: libPath + 'babel/dist/browser',
...
}

This is necessary since React deprecated & removed JSXTransformer.

I get a Cannot read property 'transformer' of undefined:

Uncaught Error: Load timeout for modules: jsx!app_unnormalized2,jsx!app

My full config is:

require.config({
    paths: {
        react:          libPath + 'react-with-addons',
        JSXTransformer: libPath + "babel/browser",
        jsx:            libPath + "jsx",
        text:           libPath + 'text',
    },

    shim: {
        react: {
            exports: 'React'
        }
    },

    config: {
        jsx: {
            transformer: 'babel',
            babelOptions: {
                sourceMaps: 'inline'
            }
        }
    }
});

require(['jsx!main'], function(Main) {
});

Where 'jsx' is in fact this lib (requirejs-react-jsx), and all libs are at their latest version (as of a week or two ago). Note that my paths dirs are custom, and won't match the structure you find using NPM etc.

I've confirmed that main.jsx renders React elements successfully.

Just so I can reproduce your build environment as accurately as possible, what are your bower.json version entries for babel, requirejs-react-jsx, react? Also, the babel website suggested to me that I use
requirejs-babel - should I be using the npm-based installation of babel instead?

[cguinnup]

Not using Bower, because integrating into a larger project which uses a non-JS-specific build system.

Versions:
React (with addons) v0.14.3
Babel 6.1.18
RequireJS 2.1.21
RequireJS text 2.0.12

Yes, I just used browser.js from the main babel installation.

I should also note that I'm running this in a Java 8 WebView (inside a Swing component), so I can't be certain it's cross-browser compatible, just that it works in my case.
