RocketJS

Translate HTML code to Vue or React.

Instalation

To install simply: Clone the repository and install dependencies.

npm i -g rocket-translator

Getting Started

Basic

You can convert this:

<div>Hello {name - state - "World"}!</div>

into this:

import React, {Component} from "react";

class MyComponent extends Component {
	super();
	this.state = {
    	name:"World"
    };
    render(){
    	return(
        	<div>Hello {this.state.name}!</div>
		)
    }
}
export default MyComponent;

or this:

<template>
	<div>Hello {{name}}!</div>
</template>
<script>
	export default {
    	name:"MyComponent",
        data(){
        	return {
            	name:"World"
            }
	}
    }
</script>

How to Use

To use, simpy create a HTML file, with the code to translate, and run:

rocket [mode] path/to/file.html [output folder]

The mode may be -v to Vue or -r to React.

The output folder is optional, if this is not defined will create a folder named dist.

States Simple

A State in a Vue or React component, are a way to set data that affect the view, and when this changes, the component re-render the view.

To get values from the HTML, we must declare into {}. And to the declare a state, we have 2 modes to set it: Simple, With Value.

The Simple mode, is declared writing only the state name into the template and writing the type: state.

Example:

<div>{myState - state}</div>

In the With Value mode, is declared when, we write the state name, the type: state and the value for this state.

Example:

<div>{stateName - state - "Some Value"}</div>

The value may be String, Number, Boolean,Array and Object.

And in the simple case, we obtain the next component state.

In Vue:

data(){
	return {
		myState:""
	}
}

And in React we obtain:

this.state = {
	myState:""
}

In the With value case we obtain. In Vue:

data(){
	return {
		stateName:"Some Value"
	}
}

And in React:

this.state = {
	stateName:"Some Value"
}

To know more about states, and Javascript Management. You can see JavaScript Management section.

Props

The props in a component, are data that a parent (container) component pass to a child component.

And like the state, we may declare a prop with this format {propName - prop}.

Example:

<div>{parentData - prop}</div>

And declaring a prop, the final template will render, in Vue:

props:{
	parentData:{
		type:String,
		required:true,
		default:"Hello World"
	}
}

And in React, pass the props trought the Component Constructor and auto declares the props.

constructor(props){
	super(props);
}
render(){
	return(
		<div>{this.props.parentData}</div>
	)
}

Computed

A Computed propierty is a function that return a String or Number value, and this is render on the template. And to declare a computed propierty, simply we can set the computed propierty name and the type: computed.

<div>{computedName - computed}</div>

This will create a computed propierties that returns a Hello World. And to set your own computed propierty, you must add a script tag and create a function named like the computed propierty.

<div>Hi I Am {fullName - computed}!</div>
<script>
function fullName() {
	var name = "Foo";
	var lastName = "Bar";

	return `${name} ${lastName}`;
}
</script>

Too know more about Javascript Management go to JavaScript Management section.

Methods

A Method is a function executed by an event on the final render or by the render. Is not necesary declare the method only set the event into the tag.

<button onclick="hello()">Say Hello</button>
<script>
function hello() {
	alert("Hello World");
}
</script>

Components (Partial)

To import a component inside the main component. Only add the tag with the component syntax.

<MyComponent />

And to add a attr with a state value add : on the attr front.

<MyComponent :my-bind-attr="stateName" />

State Watchers

Para declarar un State Watcher añadan la palabra reservada watch seguido del nombre del estado igual a la funcion a ejecutar cuando cambie el estate.

watch stateName = e => {
	//Handle State
}

Inputs Handler

To handle a input, you must add the attr name on the input tag, and the value will be take to add a state with that name.

<input type="text" name="username" />

On Vue will render.

<template>
	<input type="text" v-model="username" name="username"/>
</template>
<script>
	export default {
		name:"MyComponent",
		data() {
			return {
				username:""
			}
		}
	}
</script>

On React.

import React, {Component} from "react";

class MyComponent extends Component {
	constructor() {
		super();
		this.state = {
			username:""
		}
	}
	inputHandler({target}){
		const value = target.type === 'checkbox' ? target.checked : target.value;
		const name = target.name;
		this.setState({
			[name]: value
		})
	}`
}

Conditionals

To declare a conditional, add the if tag, with the cond attr, where cond is the condition to evaluate.

Example:

<if cond="auth">
	<span>Congratulations! you are Sign in this platform</span>
</if>

And you can set it with an else tag.

<if cond="password.length < 6">
	<span>Password must have more of 6 characters</span>
</if>
<else>
	<span>Password is very strong</span>
</else>

List Render

Like the conditionals, add a loop is't very easy, add a for tag, with the val attr.

<for val="varName in stateName">
	<span>{varName}</span>
</for>
