ts-transform-react-constant-elements
This is a TypeScript AST Transformer that can speed up reconciliation and reduce garbage collection pressure by hoisting React elements to the highest possible scope, preventing multiple unnecessary reinstantiations, similar to babel-plugin-transform-react-constant-elements.
Example:
const Hr = () => {
return <hr className="hr" />;
};
// becomes
const _ref = <hr className="hr" />;
const Hr = () => {
return _ref;
};This is especially useful for hoisting static but expensive content such as SVG.
Usage
First of all, you need some level of familiarity with the TypeScript Compiler API.
compile.ts & tests should have examples of how this works. The available options are:
verbose?: boolean
Enabling this will allow this transformer to log out which nodes are hoisted.
