Use JSX as an Eleventy template language
Eleventy + HAST + JSX is a versatile package designed to enhance the Eleventy static site generator by incorporating JSX for creating templates. This integration allows developers to construct HTML pages using the familiar JSX syntax, which is widely used in React development. If you’re looking to build modern web applications and have prior knowledge of JSX, this package can streamline the process of designing components and layouts for your Eleventy projects.
Getting started with this plugin is straightforward, provided that you have Node.js version 16.0.0 or later installed. By following a few simple steps to install and configure the plugin, you’ll be able to leverage JSX’s powerful features within your Eleventy environment, kicking off a more efficient development workflow.
JSX Support: Use JSX syntax to create HTML elements, allowing for a more intuitive and dynamic design process similar to React.
Plugin Functionality: Easily add the eleventy-hast-jsx plugin to your Eleventy configuration with minimal setup, making it simple to enhance your projects.
Babel Options: Customize the Babel transpilation process by passing your own options, including the ability to override default plugins for more tailored builds.
Component Handling: Create reusable components with uppercase tag names that can accept properties and children, mirroring React’s component structure.
Flexible Prop Syntax: Use either HTML-style or DOM-style props, depending on your preference, for added flexibility when working with custom components.
Array Handling for Children: Automatically process children elements as arrays, simplifying the handling of multiple nested elements.
Fragment Support: Utilize JSX fragments for grouping child elements without adding extra nodes to the DOM, helping maintain a clean markup structure.
Raw HTML Handling: Allow dangerous HTML through configuration options to manage raw content safely when necessary.
