jsx-render-engine

JSX library agnostic render engine. (react, preact, react-router etc.)

About

jsx-render-engine is a an in-place object manipulation engine to transform object content using a JSX library as template.

It is developed as part of metalsmith-react-templates.

You can easily write your own rendering strategies, but it currently supports the following out of the box:

Installation

Install the library via:

$ npm install --save jsx-render-engine

You will need to install other dependencies based on your chosen templating engine. For example:

$ npm install react react-dom prop-types // react

$ npm install preact preact-render-to-string // preact

$ npm install react-router // and everything for react.
