Server JSX components

A minimalistic framework for creating reusable and encapsulated html components on server side with the help of JSX. It uses standard abilities🚀 of typescript compiler to work with JSX. For projects written on JavaScript (without TypeScript) may use to convert JSX Babel. The framework uses ideology of CssInJs for work with css and support ability inline JavaScript code in components.

Function component

import { getJsxFactory, render, JSX } from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';
// Create render function. TypeScript compiler uses her for transform jsx elements to html
const h = getJsxFactory();

const FormatDate = (props: { date: Date, style: string }) => {
  const { date, style } = props;
  const year = date.getFullYear();
  const month = date.getMonth() + 1;
  const day = date.getDate();
  const dateStr = `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
  return <time datetime={dateStr} style={style}>{dateStr}</time>;
};

// second argument for turn on escape mode
const obj = render.toObject(
  <FormatDate date={new Date()} style="color:red"></FormatDate>,
  true
);
// <time datetime="2023-10-7" style="color:red">2023-10-7</time>
console.log(obj.html);

Class component

import { getJsxFactory, render, IgnisComp } from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';
// Create render function. TypeScript compiler uses her for transform jsx elements to html
const h = getJsxFactory();

class FormatDate extends IgnisComp<{ date: Date, style: string }> {
  render() {
    const { date, style } = this.props;
    const year = date.getFullYear();
    const month = date.getMonth() + 1;
    const day = date.getDate();
    const dateStr = `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
    return <time datetime={dateStr} style={style}>{dateStr}</time>;
  }
}

// second argument for turn on escape mode
const obj = render.toObject(
  <FormatDate date={new Date()} style="color:red"></FormatDate>,
  true
);
// <time datetime="2023-10-7" style="color:red">2023-10-7</time>
console.log(obj.html);

IgnisComp (IgnisComp<Props, Children, TSharedData>) take 3 types: type of properties of component, type of children and type of shared data (for inline javascript code).

If you want render JSX to html not to object then you need method toHtmlPage:

import {
  getJsxFactory,
  render,
  JSX,
  IgnisComp,
  IgnisHtmlPage
} from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';
// Create render function. TypeScript compiler uses her for transform jsx elements to html
const h = getJsxFactory();

// For components witout parent:
// https://react.dev/reference/react/Fragment
const Fragment = function (_: any, children: any[]): JSX.Element {
  return <fragment>{children}</fragment>;
};

class FormatDate extends IgnisComp<{ date: Date, style: string }> {
  render() {
    const { date, style } = this.props;
    const year = date.getFullYear();
    const month = date.getMonth() + 1;
    const day = date.getDate();
    const dateStr = `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
    return <time datetime={dateStr} style={style}>{dateStr}</time>;
  }
}

class HtmlPage extends IgnisHtmlPage<{}> {
  render() {
    return <Fragment>{this.children}</Fragment>;
  }
}

const html = render.toHtmlPage(
  <HtmlPage>
    <FormatDate date={new Date()} style="color:red"></FormatDate>
  </HtmlPage>,
  { escape: true }
);
/* <!DOCTYPE html>

console.log(html);

More details

Css

You can create css classes in components: in object style (CssInJS) or as simple string. Class names are generated with built-in generator:

import {
  getJsxFactory,
  render,
  IgnisComp
} from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';

const h = getJsxFactory();

class Book extends IgnisComp<
  { id: number, author: string, name: string, year: number }
> {
  render() {
    const { id, author, name, year } = this.props;
    // Create css class as css in js.
    // Class name is generated automatically
    const cl_book = this.css({
      color: 'red',
      // properties as camel case
      fontSize: '12px',
      '&:focus': {
        // properties as kebab case
        'background-color': 'orange'
      }
    });

    // Create css class as css in js, but use specific class name
    const cl_author = this.css('list-book__author', {
      textTransform: 'capitalize'
    });

    // Create css class as string.
    // Class name is generated automatically
    this.css('.list-book__name{font-size: 16px}');

    return (
      <div class={cl_book}>
        <p class="list-book__name">Name: {name}</p>
        <p class={cl_author}>Author: {author}</p>
        <p>Year: {year}</p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

// second argument for turn on escape mode
const obj = render.toObject(
  <Book id={1} author="Ivan Turgenev" name="Hunter's Notes" year={1852}></Book>,
  true
);
/*
<div class="a">
  <p class="list-book__name">Name: Hunter&#39;s Notes</p>
  <p class="list-book__author">Author: Ivan Turgenev</p>
  <p>Year: 1852</p>
</div>
*/
console.log(obj.html);
/*
[
  CssClass {
    _name: 'a',
    _obj: { color: 'red', fontSize: '12px', '&:focus': [Object] }
  },
  CssClass {
    _name: 'list-book__author',
    _obj: { textTransform: 'capitalize' }
  },
  '.list-book__name{font-size: 16px}'
]
*/
console.log(obj.css);

Note:

You shouldn't create css inside block if/else statement:

  if (Math.random() > 0.5) {
    const cl_author = this.css('list-book__author', {
      textTransform: 'capitalize'
    });
  }

It will not work!

JavaScript

With methods headJs() and js() you can add javascript code in component as JSX block code, as string, or as script tag:

import {
  getJsxFactory,
  render,
  IgnisComp,
  JSX
} from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';

const h = getJsxFactory();

// Component for wrapping inline js code
const JsCode = function (
  props: { escape?: boolean }, children: any[]
): JSX.Element {
  // XSS escape is disable by default
  return <fragment escape={props.escape || false}>{children}</fragment>;
};

class Book extends IgnisComp<
  { id: number; name: string; author: string; year: number },
  never,
  // Third parameter is type of shared data
  { id: number }
> {

  // javascript for all components Book. It will be place in <head></head>
  headJs() {
    // get all ids for components Book
    // Array<{ id: number }>
    const data = this.getListSharedData();
    return [
      // Inject inline code as JSX
      <JsCode>
        console.log('Escaped value {`${this.escape('<body>')}`}');
      </JsCode>,
      // Inject script script src="..."
      this.script('/assets/book.js'),
      // Inject inline code as string
      `[${data.map(el => el.id).join(',')}].forEach(id => new Book(id);`
    ];
  }

  // javascript for all components Book.
  // It will be place before tag <body> close
  js() {
    return [
      // Inject inline code as string
      'console.log("I am book in footer!!!");',
    ];
  }


  render() {
    const { id, name, author, year } = this.props;

    // You can store shared data for specific type
    // components (in this case Book) which were used on page
    const id = this.setSharedData('id', id);
    // OR set whole of object
    const { id } = this.setSharedData({ id });

    return (
      <div id={id}>
        <p class="list-book__name">Name: {name}</p>
        <p>Author: {author}</p>
        <p>Year: {year}</p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}


const books = [

  true
);

headJs() - this method is intended for declaration javascript for all specific type components (in this case for all components of "Book" type). Tags <script> will be placed in <head></head>.
js() - this method is similar to headJS(), but tags <script> will be placed before tag <body> close.
this.setSharedData(key, value): value | this.setSharedData(sharedData): sharedData - We can store shared data for specific type components (in this case for all components of "Book" type), which were used on the html page. For example, we save id of books and get them in declaration of javascript code for using in our business logic. You can set specific part of shared data by key or set whole state.
this.getListSharedData() - We get shared data as array (instance of components may be many on page).

Css and JavaScript in Function component

  // pass type of shared data
  IgnisComp.setDataForFuncComponent<{ id: number }>(FormatDate, {
    // set css
    css() {

      this.css(this.cssLink('http://my.domain/css/base.css'));
      this.css({

        backgroundColor: 'red',
      });
    },

Script and Link

There are useful set of methods in component

this.css(this.cssLink('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.3/css/bulma-rtl.min.css'))
// <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.3/css/bulma-rtl.min.css"/>

Method this.cssLink is used for convenient creation of tag <link>.

this.script('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highcharts/9.3.2/highcharts.js')
  .async()
  .onload('console.log("Highcharts is loading");')

Method this.script is used for convenient creation of tag <script>.

this.script(src?) - to create tag with link. Src is optional
async() - to add attribute async
defer() - to add attribute defer
onload(string) - to add attribute onload with passed js code
code(string) - to add js code inside <script></script>

Html Page

If you don't want manually building html page you can using special class IgnisHtmlPage which collecting html code of components and inserting all of needed css and js code. For example, we create three components: HtmlPage(inherited from IgnisHtmlPage), List Book, Book and you will see the basic capabilities such as component approach and isolated css in js.

import { getJsxFactory, render, IgnisComp, IgnisHtmlPage, noEscape, JSX } from '@ignis-web/server-jsx-component';

const h = getJsxFactory();

// Component for wrapping inline js code
const JsCode = function (
  props: { escape?: boolean }, children: any[]
): JSX.Element {
  return <fragment escape={props.escape || false}>{children}</fragment>;
};
// For components witout parent: https://react.dev/reference/react/Fragment
const Fragment = function (_: any, children: any[]): JSX.Element {
  return <fragment>{children}</fragment>;
};

class HtmlPage extends IgnisHtmlPage<{}> {

  // turn on/of minificaton of output html
  minify() {
    return true;
  }

  title() {
    return 'Jsx Server component';
  }

  description() {
    return 'It\'s description of page';
  }

  keywords() {
    return `
      keyword1,
      keyword2
    `;
  }


  // global javascript for section: It will be place in <head></head>
  headJs() {
    return [
      this.script('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highcharts/9.3.2/highcharts.js')
        .async()
        .onload('console.log("Highcharts is loading");')
    ];
  }

  // global javascript for footer.
  // It will be place before tag <body> close
  js() {
    return [
      'console.log("I am run in end of page");',
    ];
  }

  render() {
    const id = this.createId();
    const cls = this.createClassName();


    this.css(
      this.cssLink('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.3/css/bulma-rtl.min.css')

    this.css('.column', { display: 'flex', borderLeft: '12px solid red' });

    return (

        <div id={id} class={'columns ' + cls}>
          {this.children}

More examples

Tpl

Collection of methods for handy work with JSX elements: forEach, if/else/else if, switch/case, each, class and etc.

forEach:

<div>
  {this.tpl.forEach(books, el => <Book data={el}></Book>)}
</div>

if/else/else if:

<div>
  {this.tpl
    .if(value === 1, () => <p>is if</p>)
    .elseIf(value === 2, <p>is else if</p>)
    .else(() => `<p>is else</p>`)
  }
</div>

Passing result of condition to callback:

const object: { key1: string } | { key2: number } = { key1: 'ssdf' } as any;
<div>
  {this.tpl
    .if('key1' in object && object.key1, value =>
      <p>object has key1, value = {value}, type value is string</p>
    )
    .elseIf('key2' in object && object.key2, value =>
      <p>object has key2, value = {value}, type value is number</p>
    )
    .else(() => `<p>is unknown object</p>`)
  }
</div>

Work with attributes:

<span {...this.tpl
  .if('key1' in object && object.key1, (value) => ({ class: `key1 ${value}` }))
  .elseIf('key2' in object && object.key2, (value) => ({ class: `default ${value}` }))
  .else({ ...object })
}></span>

If you want use two or more conditions in attributes, you should call method getAsAttr() in the end:

<span
  {...this.tpl
    .if('key1' in object && object.key1, (value) => ({ class: `key1 ${value}` }))
    .elseIf('key2' in object && object.key2, (value) => ({ class: `default ${value}` }))
    .else({ ...object })
    .getAsAttr()
  }
  {...this.tpl
    .if(value === 1, id => ({ id }))
    .getAsAttr()
  }
></span>

switch/case

<div>
  {this.tpl
    .switch(value)
    .case(1, (val) => <p>is {val}</p>)
    .case([2,3], <p>is 2 or 3</p>)
    .default(() => `<p>is other</p>`)
  }
</div>

Work with attributes:

<span {...this.tpl
  .switch(value)
  .case(1, (val) => ({ class: `one ${val}` }))
  .case([2, 3], { class: 'two three' })
  .default({})
}></span>

If you want use two or more conditions in attributes, you should call method getAsAttr() in the end:

<span
  {...this.tpl
    .switch(value)
    .case(1, (val) => ({ class: `one ${val}` }))
    .case([2, 3], ({ class: 'two three' }))
    .default({})
    .getAsAttr()
  }
  {...this.tpl
    .swich(value)
    .case(1, id => ({ id }))
    .getAsAttr()
  }
></span>

each

<div>
  {tpl.each({ k1: value, k2: date }, (value, key, index) => {
    if (index > 0) {
      return;
    }
    return (
      <li>
        <FormatDate date={value} style="margin-top:10px" />
      </li>
    );
  })}
</div>

class

Method for create css classes:

<div>
  {/* <div class="danger"></div> */}
  <div {...this.tpl.class({ danger: true, success: false })}></div>
</div>

func

It's alternative IIFE:

<div>
  {this.tpl.func(() => {
    if (true) {
      return <div>True</div>;
    } else {
      return <div>False</div>;
    }
  })}
</div>

Tsconfig

For proper build project, you should add follow fields in tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "lib": [
      "DOM"
    ],
