TSX to JSX Conversion
TSX (TypeScript JSX) and JSX (JavaScript XML) are similar in many aspects, but TSX is a variant of JSX that supports TypeScript within the XML syntax. To convert TSX to JSX, you need to remove the TypeScript-specific syntax and ensure the code is compatible with regular JSX.
Example:
Let’s consider a simple TSX code snippet:
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
interface GreetingProps {
name: string;
age?: number;
}
const Greeting: React.FC = ({ name, age }) => {
return (
Hello, {name}!
{age &&
Age: {age}
}
);
};
Greeting.propTypes = {
name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
age: PropTypes.number,
};
export default Greeting;
To convert this TSX code to JSX, we need to:
- Remove the
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';statement, as PropTypes are not required in plain JSX. - Replace
interface GreetingPropswithtype GreetingPropsor remove the type altogether, as plain JSX doesn’t utilize TypeScript interfaces. - Remove the
React.FCtype from the component definition since it is not required in regular JSX. - Optionally, you may remove the
prop-typesvalidation as plain JSX doesn’t have built-in PropTypes.
The converted JSX code would look like this:
import React from 'react';
type GreetingProps = {
name: string;
age?: number;
};
const Greeting = ({ name, age }: GreetingProps) => {
return (
Hello, {name}!
{age &&
Age: {age}
}
);
};
export default Greeting;
By following these steps, we successfully converted the TSX code to plain JSX.
