mlx
An OCaml syntax dialect which adds JSX expressions to the language.
let header ~children () =
<header>
<h1>title</h1>
</header>
let page =
<html>
<body>
<header>"Hello, world!"</header>
<div>
"Some content goes here"
</div>
</body>
</html>
This code is transformed into the following OCaml code:
let header ~children () =
header () ~children:[ h1 () ~children:[ title ] [@JSX]; ] [@JSX]
let page =
html () ~children:[
body () ~children:[
header () ~children:[ "Hello, world!" ] [@JSX];
div () ~children:[ "Some content goes here" ] [@JSX];
] [@JSX];
] [@JSX]
It is expected to use mlx-pp preprocessor with either a runtime lib which provides the implementation of such functions or a ppx which which further transforms [@JSX] attributes into the desired output.
Installation & Usage
Currently for editor integration an unreleased version of ocaml-lsp-server is needed (along with its depenedencies, jsonrpc and lsp).
Use the following commands to install the necessary packages:
opam pin add jsonrpc.dev --dev
opam pin add lsp.dev --dev
opam pin add ocaml-lsp-server.dev --dev
opam install mlx ocamlmerlin-mlx
To make dune consider .mlx files as OCaml files you need to configure an mlx dialect, put this in your dune-project file:
(dialect
(name mlx)
(implementation
(extension mlx)
(merlin_reader mlx)
(preprocess
(run mlx-pp %{input-file}))))
