Remove React dependency

[haxiomic]

Currently React is required to use the browser, however it's only needed for the headers which could be done via plain-old html

It would be nice to remove the React dependency to simplify the experience for users

This also requires removing the material-ui dependency

• Remove material-ui dependency
• Implement existing react content as plain-old-html
• Make it easy to embed genome browser in a react project

I was just about to make a ticket about embedding genome browser in a react project. I was just looking for a how-to but maybe you have to remove the dependency first?

Hey @hitz, you can use it in a react project by calling reactRender(props: {width, height}) which produces a react element. For example, to use it with JSX you can do something like:

constructor() {
	this.hpgv = new GenomeVisualizer(configuration);
}


render() {
    return (
    	<div>
        	{this.hpgv.reactRender({ width: this.state.viewerWidth, height: this.state.viewerHeight})}
        </div>
    );
}

There's two builds of hpgv in dist/, one with the react dependency embedded and the other without

If you've already got react included in your project, then use the valis-hpgv.react-peer.js build
