API

transformJSX

Convert JSX in a babel ast to CallExpressions

Parameters

• ast {Object} - babel ast to transform JSX in
• pragma {String} - pragma to use, e.g. React.createElement

Differences to babel

babylon-jsx produces output that differs from that created by transform-react-jsx.

• Pragmas like // @dom h are ignored
• No extend helper is injected
• JSX spread is transformed to ES2015 object spread
• All produced call expressions are printed on a single line
