simply-jsx

library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

A lightweight transpiler for JSX that does not require React. Version 0.0.3 is the latest stable release, which is essentially an early-stage proof-of-concept with no active development cadence. It transpiles JSX to JavaScript using a simple configuration file and includes a file watcher for auto-reloading in the browser. This tool is minimally viable, lacking TypeScript types, extensive testing, or community adoption. It differentiates from Babel by targeting a simpler, zero-config setup for non-React JSX usage.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import simplyJsx from 'simply-jsx'

✗ const simplyJsx = require('simply-jsx')

Package is ESM-only since v0.0.3, but recommend checking actual exports; there may be no default export.

jsx

✓ import { jsx } from 'simply-jsx'

✗ const { jsx } = require('simply-jsx')

Named export 'jsx' might not exist; this is a hypothetical import.

renderer

✓ import { render } from 'simply-jsx'

✗ const render = require('simply-jsx').render

Actual named exports are undocumented; this entry is speculative based on typical patterns.

Demonstrates minimal setup: install the package, configure simply.json, create an HTML file, and run the transpiler.

// Ensure package is installed: npm install simply-jsx@0.0.3 // Create simply.json in project root with: // { "source": "src", "build": "dist", "staticFiles": "public" } // Create public/index.html with a root element // Then run: npx simply-jsx // Write a component in src/App.jsx: export default function App() { return <div>Hello Simply JSX</div>; }

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage is extremely early-stage (v0.0.3). API may change without notice; no stable release.

fix

Pin to a specific version and expect breaking changes.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchasimply-jsx requires a simply.json configuration file; without it the CLI fails.

fix

Create simply.json in project root with required fields: source, build, staticFiles.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe package has no TypeScript types; usage in TypeScript projects requires manual type definitions.

fix

Add type declarations or use with // @ts-nocheck

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedNo documentation on exported functions; CLI may be the only intended interface.

fix

Use the CLI tool (npm start) instead of programmatic API.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingDoes not support JSX with React; custom createElement logic is used, incompatible with React.

fix

Do not use with React; intended for standalone JSX transpilation.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'simply-jsx'

Package not installed or version mismatch.

fix

Run 'npm install simply-jsx@0.0.3' in project root.

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'simply.json'

Missing simply.json configuration file.

fix

Create simply.json in project root with required fields.

Error: JSX element 'div' is not defined

JSX is transpiled but runtime expects createElement function; not provided.

fix

Ensure your output includes a polyfill for createElement, or provide one manually.
