Can JSX compile to a string instead of an object instantiation?

[trusktr]

For example, can I opt for

var app = <Nav color="blue" />;

to convert to

var app = "<Nav color=\"blue\" />";

instead of

var app = Nav({color:"blue"});

?

I don't think JSX can do this out of the box. Perhaps some macro with sweet.js? See: http://jlongster.com/Compiling-JSX-with-Sweet.js-using-Readtables

React JSX(Transformer) probably never will, but other JSX implementations certainly can.

We're not going to do this. You are free to write your own transform if you'd like.

@syranide Nice. I think sweet.js plus https://github.com/mxw/vim-jsx will do the job. :D
