@babel/preset-react
Advanced tools
The @babel/preset-react npm package is a Babel preset that can be used to transform JSX into standard JavaScript. It is commonly used in React applications to allow developers to write JSX, which is a syntax extension for JavaScript that looks similar to HTML. This preset includes the necessary Babel plugins to parse and transform JSX syntax.
Transform JSX
Converts JSX syntax into createElement calls which are understood by React.
const element = <div>Hello, world!</div>;Support for React Fragments
Allows the use of React Fragments to group a list of children without adding extra nodes to the DOM.
const element = <><div>Item 1</div><div>Item 2</div></>;Support for JSX Spread Attributes
Enables the spreading of attributes in JSX elements from an object.
const props = { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe' }; const element = <div {...props} />;Support for JSX Expression Containers
Allows embedding expressions in JSX by wrapping them in curly braces.
const name = 'world'; const element = <div>Hello, {name}!</div>;This package is similar to @babel/preset-react but is specifically tailored for Create React App projects. It includes additional Babel plugins and configurations suitable for the React scripts bundled with Create React App.
This preset is designed for hot module replacement in React applications during development. It is not a direct alternative to @babel/preset-react but offers additional functionality for a specific development workflow.
