+[![Downloads](http://img.shields.io/npm/dm/react-add-to-calendar.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/react-add-to-calendar)
+
+A simple and reusable Add to Calendar component for React ([Demo](https://jasonsalzman.github.io/react-add-to-calendar/))
+
+## Installation
+
+The package can be installed via NPM:
+
+```
+npm install react-add-to-calendar --save
+```
+
+You’ll need to install React separately since it's not included in the package. Below is a simple example on how to use the Add to Calendar button in a React view.
+
+```js
+var React = require('react');
+var AddToCalendar = require('react-add-to-calendar');
+
+var Example = React.createClass({
+  displayName: 'Example',
+
+  getInitialState: function() {
+    return {
+        event: {
+            title: 'Sample Event',
+            description: 'This is the sample event provided as an example only',
+            location: 'Portland, OR',
+            startTime: '2016-09-16T20:15:00-04:00',
+            endTime: '2016-09-16T21:45:00-04:00'
+        }
+    };
+  },
+
+  render: function() {
+    return <AddToCalendar event={this.state.event}/>;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The most basic use of the Add to Calendar button can be described with:
+
+```js
+let event = {
+    title: 'Sample Event',
+    description: 'This is the sample event provided as an example only',
+    location: 'Portland, OR',
+    startTime: '2016-09-16T20:15:00-04:00',
+    endTime: '2016-09-16T21:45:00-04:00'
+}
+
+<AddToCalendar event={event} />
+```
+
+See [here](https://github.com/jasonsalzman/react-add-to-calendar/blob/master/docs/ReactAddToCalendar.md) for a full list of props that may be passed to the component. Examples are given on the [main website](https://jasonsalzman.github.io/react-add-to-calendar).
+
+## Compatibility
+
+### React
+
+I'll do my best to stay compatible with the latest version of React. I can't guarantee support for all older versions of React.
+
+Latest compatible versions:
+- React 15.0.0 or newer
+
+### Browser Support
+
+The Add to Calendar button is compatible with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE10+.
+
+Unfortunately it is difficult to support legacy browsers while maintaining the ability to develop new features in the future.  For IE9 support, it is known that the [classlist polyfill](https://www.npmjs.com/package/classlist-polyfill) is needed, but this may change or break at any point in the future.
+
+## Local Development
+
+The `master` branch contains the latest version of the Add to Calendar component. To start your example app, you can run `npm start`. This starts a simple webserver on http://localhost:8080.
+
+You can run `npm test` to execute the test suite and linters. To help you develop the component I’ve set up some tests that covers the basic functionality (can be found in  `/tests`). I highly recommend you add tests when you’re adding new functionality.
+
+### The examples
+The examples are hosted within the docs folder and are ran in the simple add that loads the Add to Calendar button. To extend the examples with a new example, you can simply duplicate one of the existing examples and change the unique properties of your example.
