@ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx v0.2.0

@ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx

This plugin is a follow up of this post and it can be used together with @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx and through jsx2tag, so that static, non component related, attributes, are parsed as static values.

A huge thanks to Nicolò Ribaudo for helping out creating the basic structure to make this work.

babel.config.json

{
  "plugins": [
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx"],
    ["module:@ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx"]
  ]
}

npm install

npm i --save-dev @babel/cli
npm i --save-dev @babel/core
npm i --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx
npm i --save-dev @ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx

What is it / How to use it

Once configured, and after following jsx2tag instructions, this module would produce a slightly different Template Literal Tag's signature.

// using this paragraph as example
const ref = <p class="any" data-test={dynamic}>Hello</p>;

// without @ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx
[
  ['<p class="', '" data-test="', '">', '</p>'],
  'any',
  dynamic,
  ['Hello']
]


// with @ungap/plugin-transform-static-jsx
[
  ['<p class="any" data-test="', '">', '</p>'],
  dynamic,
  ['Hello']
]

Because template literals based libraries relies on interpolations to "diff" their updates, this module would be a performance boost whenever performance is, actually, a concern or a real issue.
