Writing React components using the class syntax has several benefits:
- **Consistency** — Define all components using similar syntax.
- **Static properties** — Components are more self contained when using static class properties.
- **Simpler diffs** — No need to change the entire indentation converting between classes and
functions.
There is one obvious downside:
- **Size** — Class components are larger than function components.
This plugin solves that for you. 😃
## Example
### In
```js
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { Component } from 'react';
export class HelloWorld extends Component {
static propTypes = {
className: PropTypes.string,
};
render() {
const { className } = this.props;
return
Hello world!;
}
}
```
### Out
```js
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { Component } from 'react';
export const HelloWorld = ({ className }) =>
Hello world!;
HelloWorld.propTypes = {
className: PropTypes.string,
};
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install @babel/core babel-plugin-transform-react-class-to-function
```
## Usage
### Via `babel.config.js` (Recommended)
```js
module.exports = (api) => ({
plugins: ['babel-plugin-transform-react-class-to-function'],
});
```
### Via CLI
```sh
babel --plugins babel-plugin-transform-react-class-to-function
```
### Via Node API
```js
require('@babel/core').transform(code, {
plugins: ['babel-plugin-transform-react-class-to-function'],
});
```
## Options
### `memo`
- `true`: Transform `PureComponent` and components implementing `shouldComponentUpdate` to
functional components using [React memo].
- `false` (default): Don’t transform `PureComponent` or components implementing
`shouldComponentUpdate`.
## Special Thanks
This plugin was originally based on [babel-plugin-transform-react-pure-class-to-function]. However,
the project has diverged a lot. You may want to give that project a try if you need to use babel 6.
