build status

This is a TypeScript AST Transformer that can speed up reconciliation and reduce garbage collection pressure by hoisting React elements to the highest possible scope, preventing multiple unnecessary reinstantiations, similar to babel-plugin-transform-react-constant-elements.

Example:

const Hr = () => {
  return <hr className="hr" />;
};

// becomes 
const _ref = <hr className="hr" />;

const Hr = () => {
  return _ref;
};

This is especially useful for hoisting static but expensive content such as SVG.

Usage

First of all, you need some level of familiarity with the TypeScript Compiler API.

compile.ts & tests should have examples of how this works. The available options are:

verbose?: boolean

Enabling this will allow this transformer to log out which nodes are hoisted.
