react-python

Inspiration

React is an extremely popular web framework. Python is an extremely popular programming language. Building a Python-to-React transpiler would expose web development to lots of new developers.

What it does

Add the linespyxyc-setup then pyxyc in your workflow to compile Python(-like) syntax (with JSX extensions) into JavaScript react!

How I built it

The compiled binaries pyxyc-darwin and pyxyc-linux were built from OCaml source.

Challenges I ran into

The most difficult aspect was getting relative paths right! And to display them in a useful format to the user (considering that the package will reside in the node_modules directory, which is a level removed from the user's source directory)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Publishing to npmjs.com :D
