Is it possible to use JSX for templating? about catberry HOT 2 CLOSED

TLDR;
No, we can't use JSX in Catberry.

The way Catberry works, it can theoretically use any template engine if you can implement the TemplateProvider for it (for server, you need an additional method to compile the templates).

So, the basic idea is to compile any template to a string during the bundle build process. After it becomes a part of the browser bundle you can use the compiled string to make the template active in a browser.

JSX was created to mix JavaScript logic and DOM representation, we're not able to just compile it to a string and then activate in a browser because it requires all the source code around it. I personally still don't like the whole idea behind JSX.

One of the Catberry's goals is to have a dedicated place for a template and don't mix it with the source code. It keeps projects more organized and less confusing IMO.
