I can drop a jQuery calendar into a React component with minimum fuss. I think the interoperability issue only comes with components from large frameworks.

Honest question - I'm a react newbie and one thing that isn't immediately obvious is how to drop a DOM-manipulating jquery library into a React component. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple here, but do you know anywhere that's documented by any chance?

That's great - thanks a lot! That whole repo looks really helpful :)

But how easily can someone drop your React component that utilizes jQuery Calendar into their own application?

Very easily if they use ES6 modules and a package manager like jspm that understands ES6 modules. One line install, one line import.

I feel like "very easily" shouldn't be followed immediately by "if they use..." if it's to be taken seriously.
