React with jQuery Plugins?

Hi,

Long story short: What is the best way to call jQuery plugins along side React Components etc.

For more info read below:-

Firstly Im very much so familiar with React and how the whole life cycle works although I have been trying to use a plugin called isotope which is a jQuery plugin which allows you to pull off masonry layouts etc.

Although when called on componentDidMount or componentDidUpdate the plugin does init on the DOM object target although does not do the whole layout because its as if the children in which the have not painted/rendered complete therefore does not apply the inline styles to the child elements.
