babel-plugin-transform-simple-e4x

Introduction

Babel plugin for e4x xml processing.

Usage

npm install\
  babel-plugin-transform-simple-e4x\
  babel-preset-env\
  --save-dev

In your .babelrc:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env"],
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-transform-simple-e4x"]
}

The plugin transpiles the following E4X code:

const fooId = 'foo-id';
const barText = 'bar text';
 
let xml = (
  <xml>
    <foo id={fooId}>{barText}</foo>
  </xml>
);
 
xml += <var id="var-id"/>;

To the following JavaScript:

var XML = new require("simple4x");
 
var fooId = 'foo-id';
var barText = 'bar text';
 
var xml = new XML("<xml><foo id=\"" + (fooId) + "\">" + (barText) + "</foo></xml>");
 
xml.appendChild(new XML("<var id=\"var-id\" />"));

See tests for more examples and details.
