babel-plugin-transform-react-createelement-to-jsx

Turn React.createElement calls back into JSX syntax.

This is useful for

1. Converting projects that started out in the opinion that “we need no stinking compilers”
2. Converting already-compiled JS into something maintainable (E.g. CJSX syntax → coffee-react-transform → decaffeinate → react-createelement-to-jsx → JSX syntax)

Installation

$ npm install babel-plugin-transform-react-createelement-to-jsx

Usage

Via .babelrc (Recommended)

.babelrc

{
  "plugins": [ "transform-react-createelement-to-jsx" ]
}

Via CLI

$ babel --plugins transform-react-createelement-to-jsx script.js

Via Node API

import babel from 'babel-core'

babel.transform('code', {
  plugins: ['transform-react-createelement-to-jsx'],
})

Development

If you want to help with corner cases, here are helpful resources:

• Babylon AST spec needed to understand the AST we traverse
• JSX AST spec extension of the above, needed to understand what we emit
• babel-types API helpful tests and factories for AST nodes
