React - getting a component from a DOM element for debugging

Question

For the purposes of debugging in the console, is there any mechanism available in React to use a DOM element instance to get the backing React component?

Answer 1

i wrote this small hack to enable access any react component from its dom node

var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
(function () {
    var _render = ReactDOM.render;
    ReactDOM.render = function () {
        return arguments[1].react = _render.apply(this, arguments);
    };
})();

then you can access any component directly using:

document.getElementById("lol").react

or using JQuery

$("#lol").get(0).react
