Best convention to transpile javascript+jsx source-code in browser?










1















I'm interested in knowing about what's the best convention, approach or best practice to transpile source code in the browser, as we have in projects like:



  • Code Sandbox
    https://codesandbox.io/s/vanilla


  • Style guidist
    https://react-styleguidist.js.org


The approach these projects take, is a sort of Hot-reload, which is common use in most modern UI projects; it's not novelty and that's not what I want to discuss about; But if you think about the "same" concept in a production server, you might question what'd be the best approach to apply this principle, right? Would you POST the code Server-side? We'd have to think about security! Maybe, workout which Browser supports JSX out of the box (there's none at a moment I can think of)? Request the user to write vanilla Javascript and add React and React-Dom through script tags?! Or use a Javascript transpiler like Babel and, use the Babel-Standalone to do it? Oh well, again, that's not advised, right?! So, I hope that at this point you understand that it's an interesting question, hopefully!



I mean, as you see there's plenty of options, some raise some questions and possibilities; This might be interesting for some and I guess irrelevant for other's, or maybe it's quite trivial, and I should have spent the time to review the Github repositories before being flammed here for asking this question.



Any hint or suggestion is highly appreciated!



Thank you!
