import-essex

Import and transpile JSX via loader hooks for use with the Essex template runtime. It doesn't transpile anything besides JSX and caches transpiled sources by default.

This library has been forked from vadimdemedes/import-jsx.

Install

npm install import-essex

Usage

Note: import-essex only works with ES modules.

node --loader=import-essex example.js

example.js

const HelloWorld = () => <h1>Hello world</h1>;

Alternatively, the following can be placed in the entry file for your Node application.

import { register } from 'node:module';
register(import.meta.resolve('import-essex'));

Disable cache

import-essex caches transpiled sources by default, so that the same file is transpiled only once. If that's not a desired behavior, turn off caching by setting IMPORT_ESSEX_CACHE=0 or IMPORT_ESSEX_CACHE=false environment variable.

IMPORT_ESSEX_CACHE=0 node --loader=import-essex my-code.js
