JSX-TypeScript

JSX-TypeScript is a TypeScript fork that brings React JSX support to the language.

Installation

You can install this package with npm

npm install -g jsx-typescript

This package has the exact same structure than the typescript one; so tools which are able to use the typescript compiler should be able to use this package.

Usage

The executable is named jsx-tsc instead of tsc, and has the exact same options than tsc:

jsx-tsc myFile.ts

Typings

JSX-TypeScript does not define React.createElement, and treat it has a simple function call, you need a definition file for react, and I advise you to use the one provided by this repository react.d.ts.

This version of the compiler contains special case for JSXElement call and how it resolves type arguments in a React.createElement, For example it only infers type argument from the jsx tag name. This behavior has been implemented to provide a better experience with the React framework, but I only have tried my compiler against the provided definition file.

TODO

• Re-enable formatting for JSX
• In general more tests, stabilization, better error reporting, etc...
