1.2.0 • Public • Published

Build Status

JSX IR Runtime

Runtime for rendering JSX-IR. Runtime does not renders JSX-IR, otherwise it provides common interfaces for Renderer to be implemented.

Installation

npm install jsx-runtime

Usage

This package does not really intended to be used by the end user, instead users should install Renderers which depends on this package.

Runtime 1 main and most important method, registers an Renderer to the runtime:

  jsx.register(rendererName, rendererConfig);

Simple Renderer may look like this:

var jsx = require('../');
 
var renderer = jsx.register('jsx-unwrap', {
  tags: {
    '*': {
      enter: function(tag, props) {
        return {
          tag: tag,
          props: props || null,
          children: []
        };
      },
      leave: function(parent, tag) {
        if (!parent.children.length) {
          parent.children = null;
        }
 
        return parent;
      },
      child: function(child, parent) {
        parent.children.push(child);
        return parent;
      }
    }
  }
});
 
module.exports = renderer;

_https://github.com/jsx-ir/jsx-runtime/blob/master/tests/unwrap-renderer.js

This simple Renderer from tests just unwraps incoming data back to JSX-IR so it could be easy testable. Renderers could be used in many different ways, starting from generating simple string-markup to complex output of framework objects, bypassing string/dom parsing and initializing directly with passed values.

API

Definition in TypeScript format

  // Method is called by the Renderer before tag handlers receives any signals
  // This allows to override passed data, or setup some props
  before(element: JSX.Element): JSX.Element;
 
  // Method is called by the Renderer after all JSX tree is handled by tag handlers
  // This allows post modification of generated output
  after(element: any): any;
 
  tags: {
    // Wildcard for any tag. Think about it as a default handler.
    // Is used when specific tag handler is not present

  // Return new value for child

  // This is mandatory signal. Takes tag name of currently handled tag,
  // and props value previously handled by "props" signal, if it was present

  // [optional]
  // If present, is called with JSX.Children which is JSX.Element's children property

  children?: (children: JSX.Children, parent: any, tag: string) => any[];
 
  // [optional]
  // If present, allows to override Runtime's internal handling of tags
