atom-babel7-transpiler
This project implements an Atom package transpiler that transpiles your package's files with Babel 7.
Usage
- Install the package
- Add an
atomTranspilers
entry to yourpackage.json
- Install Babel presets and plugins, and configure Babel as you wish
In detail:
1. First, install the package from the npm registry:
npm install --save @atom/babel7-transpiler
2. Next, modify your package.json
to include a reference to the transpiler for any files you want Babel to process as described in the Atom Flight Manual. For example, to process every file ending in .js
in your package, you could use:
{
...
"atomTranspilers": [
{
"glob": "**/*.js",
"transpiler": "@atom/babel7-transpiler"
}
]
}
3. Finally, install Babel and all the presets and plugins you want to use as normal. For a simple example, if you wanted to use the ES2015 and React presets, you might run:
npm install --save babel-preset-env babel-preset-react
and then create a .babelrc
file to configure Babel to use them:
{
"presets": ["env", "react"]
}
You may also specify options in your package.json
inside the optional options
object; the subkey babel
, if it exists, will be passed as options to babel.transformSync
. Note that if you don't want Babel to search up the directory hierarchy for a .babelrc
file, you need to add the "babelrc": false
option to the settings. Otherwise Babel may mistakenly use a user's .babelrc
from elsewhere on the filesystem when trying to build your package.
{
// ...
"atomTranspilers": [
{
"glob": "**/*.js",
"transpiler": "@atom/babel7-transpiler",
"options": {
"babel": {
"presets": ["es2015", "react"],
"babelrc": false
}
}
}
]
}
Options
You may specify the following options as values of the options
object in your package.json
:
|Option|Default|Description|
|--:|---|---|
|setBabelEnv
|false
, true
or a string|Sets the BABEL_ENV
environment variable. When true
, sets it to "development"
when atom.inDevMode()
or atom.inSpecMode()
is true and "production"
otherwise. When given as a string, uses the value of the environment variable of that name instead. The feature returns BABEL_ENV
to its prior value after transpilation finishes.|
|babel
|{}
|Options to pass as the second argument to babel.transform
(the same options you can put in a .babelrc
).|
|cacheKeyFiles
|[]
|An array of files to include when determining whether or not to use the cache. For example, to force a recompile anytime your .babelrc
changes, add .babelrc
to this array.|
Other Details
Source Maps
To enable source maps within Atom, set the Babel sourceMaps
option to "inline"
in your Babel configuration.
Babel Environment
Babel supports an option called env
that allows you to configure Babel on a per-environment basis. The Babel environment is controlled via an environment variable called BABEL_ENV
; this module automatically sets the environment variable to "development"
if Atom is in dev mode (atom.inDevMode()
returns true
) and "production"
otherwise.
