// In personal projects, jQuery UI Datepicker in React simply doesn't render or even throw

var InputDate = React.createClass({
    render: function() {
        return <input type="text" className="datepicker" />;
    }
});

var Calendar = React.createClass({
    componentDidMount: function() {

        )

React.render(<Calendar />, document.body);
