Import statements: with or without React?

Question

There\'s a little bit of a debate at work on whether it is necessary to import React in stateless components and I can\'t find any docs about it. So:

Answer 1

Use option 1 because babel will transform your jsx
Submit
to
React.createElement("button", { onClick: action }, "Submit");

So as you see react must be in scope. You have two options:

1. import React from 'react';
2. or define React globally
