Can't use attribute without value in jsx

[mcheshkov]

jsx('<button disabled>foo</button>');

This gives me Invalid JSX: Expected =, when react itself can handle jsx like that. Easy to work around, but confusing at first.

Aw right, we're using Haxe's built in XML parser. Needs some patching.

As far as I can tell this is a limitation of Haxe's (macro time) XML parser. It can't be resolved without using an alternative XML parser. So no short term fix for that.

I think a patch in haxe's xml parser will do. https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/blob/development/std/haxe/xml/Parser.hx

[elsassph]

Mmmh right if the parser is implemented in Haxe already then it might be simple to fix. We thought about having a single parser for JSX instead of making JSX valid XML.

If anybody ever comes to this situation the syntax above is incorrect. To use those types of attributes you want to specify the boolean value eg - jsx('<button disabled={true}>foo</button>');
