jsx-dom

jsx-dom

Use JSX for creating DOM elements.

Usage

npm install --save jsx-dom

// Using React namespace, works with most transpilers directly
import * as React from 'jsx-dom';
// Or: Using a custom namespace, see the paragraph below.
import * as jsxDom from 'jsx-dom';

document.body.appendChild( <div id="hello" /> );

If you prefer jsx-dom not to occupy the React namespace, you need to provide the module name as pragma with your Babel settings, specifically within your .babelrc:

{
	"plugins": [
		[ "transform-react-jsx", "jsxDom" ]
	]
}

Syntax

jsx-dom is based on the React JSX syntax with a few additions:

1. class is supported as an attribute as well as className
2. class can take an array of strings (and booleans, but they will be filtered out automatically) or an object with the format { [key: string]: boolean }.
3. style accepts both strings and objects.
4. dataset accepts an object.
5. Attributes starts with on and has a function value will be treated as an event listener and thus attached to the node.
6. innerHTML, innerText and textContent are accepted.

Browser Support

jsx-dom requires Object.keys and Object.assign (an ES6 feature). If you are using Babel, the transform-object-assign plugin should eliminate the need for a polyfill.
