5,469 PointsReact "intellisense" / code suggestions doesn't show up for me in my own local environment - how do I enable this?
For example when I type the following: 'React.propTypes.' string is not suggested to me. Referring to where the code suggestions are showing for the course presenter when he types the code below.
Application.propTypes = { title: React.PropTypes. }

If you're using Sublime Text there are a number of plugins for this but for React they are a bit dated. You can add them using Package Control.
I would suggest looking at Atom if you're going to continue with React. It has a lot of nice native support for React and JS in general and the Babel plugin will do nice highlighting of JSX syntax. There are a number of other plugins that will help with code completion for both JS and React. Atom was created by GitHub.

5,469 PointsThank you Chris. I recently made the switch to Atom from Sublime and prefer using it over Sublime. I've found an Atom plugin that does code completion for React. Will have a look at the Babel plugin too.
Thanks again for your help :)
