Demo

Syntax

Creating Refs

Adding a reference to a DOM Element

import { useRef } from 'jsx-dom-runtime';

let i = 0;

const ref = useRef();
const click = () => {
  ref.current.textContent = ++i;
};

<document.body>
  <p ref={ref}>0</p>
  <button type="button" onclick={click}>
    + 1
  </button>
</document.body>;

Callback Refs

const focus = (node) => {
  node.addEventListener('focusin', () => {
    node.style.backgroundColor = 'pink';
  });

  node.addEventListener('focusout', () => {
    node.style.backgroundColor = '';
  });
};

<document.body>
  <input type="text" ref={focus} />
</document.body>;

Text

import { useText } from 'jsx-dom-runtime';

const [text, setText] = useText('The initial text');

<document.body>
  <p>{text}</p>
  <button type="button" onclick={() => setText('Clicked!')}>
    Click me
  </button>
</document.body>;

Template

Get template from string.

import { Template } from 'jsx-dom-runtime';

<document.body>
  <Template>
    {`<svg width="24" height="24" aria-hidden="true">
        <path d="M12 12V6h-1v6H5v1h6v6h1v-6h6v-1z"/>
      </svg>`}
  </Template>
</document.body>

Extend

Add custom attributes in JSX.Element.

import { Extend } from 'jsx-dom-runtime';

Extend({
  'x-class': (node, value) => {
    node.setAttribute('class', value.filter(Boolean).join(' '));
  },
  'x-dataset': (node, value) => {
    for (let key in value) {
      node.dataset[key] = value[key];
    }
  },
  'x-autofocus': (node, value) => {
    setTimeout(() => node.focus(), value);
  },
});

<document.body>
  <input
    x-class={['one', 'two']}
    x-dataset={{ testid: 'test', hook: 'text' }}
    x-autofocus={1000}
  />
</document.body>;

Result

<input class="one two" data-testid="test" data-hook="text">

Add support of the properties to DOM Element object.

import { properties } from 'jsx-dom-runtime';

properties.add('innerText');
properties.add('textContent');

<document.body>
  <span innerText="Hello" />{', '}
  <span textContent="World" />
</document.body>;

Result

<span>Hello</span>, <span>World</span>
