React Transclude

This is a POC of bringing a neat syntax from angular for including multiple named child trees as children. The way it is done now in react is by passing JSX through props, but this kinda breaks the XML analogy.

Usage

npm install --save react-transclude

or

yarn add react-transclude

Then, see the example from the test:

import React from "react";
import renderer from "react-test-renderer";
 
import transclude from "react-transclude";
 
const Card = transclude(
  { header: "Header", body: "Body", footer: "Footer" },
  ({ header, body, footer }) => (
    <div>
      <div>{header}</div>
      <div>{body}</div>
      <div>{footer}</div>
    </div>
  )
);
 
describe("react-transclude", () => {
  it("works with good old jsx props", () => {
    const component = renderer.create(
      <Card
        header={<div>this is the header</div>}
        body={<div>this is the body</div>}
        footer={<div>this is the footer</div>}
      />
    );
    let tree = component.toJSON();
    expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot();
  });
 
  it("makes composing children more XML-like", () => {
    const component = renderer.create(
      <Card>
        <Card.Header>
          <div>this is the header</div>
        </Card.Header>
        <Card.Body>
          <div>this is the body</div>
        </Card.Body>
        <Card.Footer>
          <div>this is the footer</div>
        </Card.Footer>
      </Card>
    );
    let tree = component.toJSON();
    expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot();
  });
});
