This tool is no longer maintained. If you need to transition your codebase from it, a codemod is available to do so: cjsx-codemod
This project started as a way for me to explore how JSX could fit into Coffeescript syntax, as a quickly hacked together prototype. While I never really promoted it, it quickly took on a life of its own, and before long people were asking for it to support all kinds of different use cases. On top of that I had no experience writing parsers, so the result is something with insurmountable limitations.
As I eventually stopped using Coffeescript I ended up neglecting this project, but as people were using it I didn't want to kill it. I really should have, however, because it meant that people were using a crappy, ill-conceived, unmaintained tool. Now, long overdue, I'm putting it out to pasture.
Original readme follows:
ruby-coffee-react is a bridge to the npm coffee-react-transform module.
CoffeeReact.transform File.open("component.cjsx")
gem install coffee-react
The version numbers of this gem follow those of the coffee-react-transform npm
package. See information about compatibility with different versions of React.
The json library is also required but is not explicitly stated as a
gem dependency. If you're on Ruby 1.8 you'll need to install the
json or json_pure gem. On Ruby 1.9, json is included in the
standard library.
The ExecJS library is used to automatically choose the best JavaScript engine for your platform. Check out its README for a complete list of supported engines.
This gem has been tested against the following ExecJS runtimes: Node, RubyRacer, JavaScriptCore. If you encounter any problems with these or any other ExecJS runtimes, please create a issue.
