babel-plugin-ivi-jsx

babel-plugin-ivi-jsx is a jsx plugin for ivi and is fully typed for TypeScript users.

Installation

# npm
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-ivi-jsx

# yarn
yarn add --dev babel-plugin-ivi-jsx

Usage

In your .babelrc

{
  "plugins": ["ivi-jsx"]
}

And now this:

function Foo(props) {
  return <div>
    <h1>{props.text}</h1>
    <div class="content">{props.children}</div>
  </div>;
}

is compiled to:

import { div, h1 } from "ivi-html";

function Foo(props) {
  return div().children(
      h1().children(props.text),
      div("content").children(props.children)
  );
}

Usage with TypeScript

Since babel-plugin-ivi-jsx is not required explicitely in your code your editor will not load the types automatically. This is solved by simply adding jsx.d.ts to your tsconfig.json to have a fully typed programming experience.

{
  "compilerOptions": {...},
  "files": [
    "node_modules/babel-plugin-ivi-jsx/jsx.d.ts", // <- Add this
    "path/to/your/entry.ts"
  ]
}

For React users

Since most people dealing with jsx come from the react world, this plugin eases the transition by allowing react-specific attributes:

• both class and className are supported
• both unsafeHTML and setDangerouslyInnerHTML are supported

function Foo(props) {
  return <div className="foobar">
    <div setDangerouslyInnerHTML="<h1>Hello World</h1>" />
  </div>;
}

// ... is the same as
function Foo(props) {
  return <div class="foobar">
    <div unsafeHTML="<h1>Hello World</h1>" />
  </div>;
}

Limitations

Currently props which are not of type object are not supported. For those you should fall back to simple function calls.

Example:

function Article(text) {
  return <article>{text}</article>;
}

function Foo() {
  return <div>{Article("Some Content")}</div>;
}
