Using JSX to render a component


JSX is very popular in the React community. In Vue, you don't have to use JSX to build templates for your components; you can use the much more familiar HTML. JSX, however, is the next best thing you can do if you are forced to write a lot of render functions.

Getting ready

Before venturing into this recipe, you better play a little with the render function. The previous recipes provide some exercises.

How to do it...

JSX needs a Babel plugin to work. For this recipe, I will assume that you are working within the webpack template.

To install the babel plugin, you can run the following command:

npm install
  babel-plugin-syntax-jsx
  babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx
  babel-helper-vue-jsx-merge-props
  --save-dev

Inside the .babelrc file, add the following in the plugins array:

"plugins": [
  ...
  "transform-vue-jsx"
]

Run npm install as usual to actually install all the dependencies.

Now, open the main.js and delete everything inside. Replace it with the following code...
