micro-jsx
A tiny jsx compiler.
what
This is a tiny, single-pass compiler for jsx. It takes in a string of javascript and spits out a string of javascript. That's all. It's not super fast yet, but that is one of my goals. It can be used in browser (as window.CompileJSX), or from node.js. I included a BNF-ish grammar that I used to write the parser.
why
Because I no longer use babel for anything other than jsx compilation.
usage
var fs = require('fs')
var compile_jsx = require('micro-jsx')
var file = fs.readFileSync('./test.jsx').toString()
console.log(compile_jsx(file, 'React.createElement'))limitations
Inner html text is trimmed.<div> inner text </div>will be rendered as React.createElement('div', null, 'inner text'). If you want additional spaces, use .
is actually the only special html character you can use. For the other ones (like ©, etc.), you must use unicode characters. Babel does this transformation automatically.
It does not support the spread operator for passing props to components.
issues
The error reporting isn't very good right now.
