Overview

The SWC plugin for automatically converting React component libraries into “React Client Components” is a must-have tool for developers looking to simplify their workflow with React. By integrating seamlessly with libraries like @mui, this plugin allows for effortless conversion without the tedious task of wrapping components with “use client”. This functionality streamlines the development process, making it easier to implement and maintain.

Installation is straightforward; the plugin can be added via npm, yarn, or pnpm, fitting conveniently into various development environments. Developers can focus more on building features rather than worrying about component configurations.

Features
