const generate = require('babel-generator');

const source = `
  <div x="x" {...y} z>
    children
  </div>
`;

const ast = parse(source, {plugins: ['jsx']});

API

transformJSX

Convert JSX in a babel ast to CallExpressions

Parameters

• ast {Object} - babel ast to transform JSX in

Differences to babel

babylon-jsx produces output that differs from that created by transform-react-jsx.
