Implement the new JSX transform function in kaiku. This allows kaiku to be used without having to import or specify the JSX factory function
h()
.The
jsx()
function differs from the legacyh()
JSX factory in signature and thus needs specific support. I opted to implementjsx()
directly instead of wrappingh()
as that would lead into double copying ofprops
which would hurt performance. The size overhead of this approach is 80 bytes in the final gzipped bundle:The cost in size by keeping both
h()
andjsx()
allows users to use either JSX transform without any additional configuration, which in my user-focused opinion seems like a fair tradeoff.For further development adding
key
to element descriptors directly and allowingchildren
to be a single element value would allow us to useprops
directly without copying in the descriptor instances which would reduce a ton of unnecessary allocations and object copies during component rendering.
