如果我们使用reactify，是否需要安装`node-jsx`？

Question

In my Nodejs application, I use React. I browserify + reactify to transform .jsx files to js files. I use this line of code in my entry js file :

require('node-jsx').install();

I noticed that node-jsx is deprecated. Do I still need to have this line if I already reactify my react files ?

Answer 1

No, it is not necessary to use either node-jsx or JSXTransformer when using reactify. Reactify does all the transforms needed.

Most likely the reason node-jsx is deprecated is because it is a very bad idea to compile at runtime, as the browser has to download the entire compiler and the compiler will take time to load. Always pre-compile JSX, babel, and coffeescript.
