I have found that canvas elements correctly resize on window resize when they are inside react components. They also resize correctly when used with PaperJS. However, they do not resize when used with PaperJS and ReactJS together.
Is this an incompatibility between PaperJS and ReactJS or am I instantiating PaperJS incorrectly? I'm calling paper.setup(canvas) in the componentDidMount function of the react component which contains the canvas element. Is that the correct place to do this?
I've included code snippets below.
Note: For some reason the "Run code snippet" feature complains on the ReactJS snippets, so I've included JSFiddle links which work fine.

You'll have to use the data-paper-resize
prop, since React doesn't recognize the resize
prop.
<canvas id="myCanvas" data-paper-resize />
