hhvm / xhp-js Goto Github PK

Most Hack libraries are licensed under MIT, but this one is still BSD+PATENTS.

All code in master and #9 lives at the root namespace.
We can now use xhp in namespaces 🎉.
I have not decided on a namespace name just yet, so I have instead created an issue so we won't forget.

The example provided in the example repository will not work with the latest version of Browserify, because seems like Browserify does not expose the require() method the global scope.

What can be done for using the modules with the magical require()?

Older versions of React had a different way of creating components.
I am almost certain that this doesn't work in React 17.
Some research by someone who knows Reacts internals is required to bring this functionality into the modern era.

One of the things that might make things more difficult (or more easy, depending on how you look at it), is how React 17 handles event handlers.

React 17 release notes

Also a bit unrelated, but a bit less fun is that JSX can compile down to two "syntaxes".
New JS Transform

The last real commit to this project is from 2017. It requires hhvm ~3.6. Is this project still useful enough to upgrade to modern day hack?
