So for the sake of completeness I did some more digging. It turns out that you don't need JSX todo that. In fact it probably doesn't even help you to solve the problem that much.

The main problem is that you have this nested data object in Vue.JS which you pass down, whereas in React you have a flat props object (which also includes children). So you need special logic to merge that complex data object. I'm also not so sure how you would merge stuff like slots, clickHandlers etc.

Here is a demo which works at least for classes, styles, attributes and properties:

However, I don't really think it's a practical solution.

It looks like you just reinvented Vue mixins: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/mixins.html

So maybe we can both agree on this statement:

Higher order components are not that well supported in Vue.JS, but you have mixins, which can be used todo some of the things that you would be able todo with higher order components.

No, I disagree. Higher Order Components is an abstract concept which can be formalized in different ways as we saw earlier. It relies on the functional nature of components, and so is suitable for both Vue and React, among others.

I gave you a clean and elegant solution in Vue for each of your concerns, yet you decide to camp on your positions rather than admit that you may have a few things to learn about Vue. Too bad, but I cannot help you on this.

This is like saying: "Higher order functions" is the same thing as mixins. Those are different concepts.

I never doubted that there are other concepts in Vue.JS which enable you todo some of the same things. In my initial post I was talking explicity about Higher order components.

However, let's just agree to disagree on this topic ;)

PS: Even if you don't seem to enjoy it, I like discussing stuff like this and finding an answer that everyone agrees on. It doesn't have anything todo with who is right or wrong.
