Example

basic example

Your component.js that contains this code:

import { createElement, Component } from 'rax';
 
class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return <div className="header" />
  }
}

Will be transpiled like this:

import { createElement, Component } from 'rax';
 
class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return [{
      __html: '<div class="header" />'
    }];
  }
}

These pre transpiled html can be used in server renderer, like rax-server-renderer
