# babel-plugin-transform-do-expressions
Compile do expressions to ES5
> Compile `do` expressions to ES5
## Detail
> The `do { .. }` expression executes a block (with one or many statements in it), and the final statement completion value inside the block becomes the completion value of the do expression.
from [You Don't Know JS](https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/types%20%26%20grammar/ch5.md#statement-completion-values)
It can be seen as a complex version of the [ternary operator](http://mdn.io/ternary):
```js
let a = do {
if(x > 10) {
'big';
} else {
'small';
}
};
// is equivalent to:
let a = x > 10 ? 'big' : 'small';
```

This example is not the best usage because it is too simple and using a ternary operator is a better option but you can have a much more complex condition in the `do { ... }` expression with several `if ... else` chains:
```js
let x = 100;
let y = 20;
let a = do {
if(x > 10) {
if(y > 20) {
'big x, big y';
} else {
'big x, small y';
}
} else {
if(y > 10) {
'small x, big y';
} else {
'small x, small y';
}
}
};
```

## Example
### In JSX
One of the most useful usage of the `do` expression is inside JSX. If we want to conditionally display a component we usually have to call another function which would implement the condition and return the correct value, for example:
```js
const getColoredComponent = color => {
if(color === 'blue') { return <BlueComponent/>; }
if(color === 'red') { return <RedComponent/>; }
if(color === 'green') { return <GreenComponent/>; }
}
const Component = props =>
<div className='myComponent'>
{getColoredComponent()}
</div>
;
```
Using a do expression you can add logic inside JSX:
```js
const Component = props =>
<div className='myComponent'>
{do {
if(color === 'blue') { <BlueComponent/>; }
if(color === 'red') { <RedComponent/>; }
if(color === 'green') { <GreenComponent/>; }
}}
</div>
;
```
