SEO cloaking in isomorphic React app

Question

With PHP we build a media content website want to rebuild it based on React+Redux+react-router-redux and an API. SEO is crucial for us and we want to cover especially Google, Bing, Baidu, Yahoo and Yandex, of which the last 4 don't run JS on crawling AFAIK. We are currently thinking of checking the user agent of the client and render React on the server if it is a crawler and render it on the client if it is not. Does this count as cloaking? In practice, the content should be identical.
What are the best practices for this  and wish to know more about googles ways of handling JS.

Answer 1

The solution is to render every request on the server. React can be made isomorphic, and the client code can mount on an already rendered page and take over from there. Further navigation and renders would be done on the client, and you'd not have to worry about crawlers at all.
