# Reactium Guides

## How do I build plugins, and what types are there?

In short, there are [build-time plugin](/reactium/reactium-guides/plugin-development-guide.md#create-a-build-time-plugin) for extending your API (Actinium) and your web app (Reactium) and [run-time plugins](/reactium/reactium-guides/plugin-development-guide.md#run-time-plugins) for extending your web app at runtime.

## How do use my Actinium cloud function in my Reactium app?

You will use the Reactium SDK with built-in features for accessing your API. [This is easy to setup.](/reactium/reactium-guides/reactium-+-actinium.md)

## Can I add my own REST API to my Reactium app?

Absolutely, you can extend the Reactium SDK by registering your own API very easily, using `Reactium.API.register()`

## I just want to make a simple routed React app. Can I do that?

If all you want is a simple routed React app, you can just use the Reactium foundational framework alone. Creating new components and setting them up to be routed is really easy with Reactium.

## Is it possible to animate a transition from one route to another?

The Reactium SDK has a feature for each route, activated when a route is registered with `transitions: true`, and will let you cycle through pre-defined transitions from one route to another using `Reactium.Routing.nextState()`. You can use this feature to animate with a library like TweenMax or with CSS transitions or key frames.

Reactium deploys as a container or to Heroku with very little effort, in traditional Node.js server environments, here are the things you need to know.
