node-jsx in production - Githubissues

Is it a good idea to use node-jsx in production or better to pre-compile the files?

Shouldn't make a difference

@petehunt are you sure ? https://github.com/petehunt/node-jsx/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=performance

Are there any benchmarks to compare performance of precompiled vs node-jsx ?

@tomaskikutis So how this works is the install method bootstraps a callback to how Require treats .js files ( or whatever extension you provide in options ).

When @petehunt says "it shouldn't" - it really shouldn't since everything in the require chain should be in memory when your server is primed.

Hypothetically, if you create methods that use require outside of setting initial dependencies, you incur a performance hit since the files are transpiled through jstransform.transform(...) as part of the require process.

Depending on how you architect your application, you could end up running ..transform more often than you would like.
