Babel Plugin for removing statics from React components

Remove unnecessary statics attached to React components for different build environments

Usage

Set the statics you want via babel configuration with boolean.

This can be particularly useful if you want to switch certain statics on/off for certain environments. An example of this would be using something like react-styleguide-generator-alt for your documentation. Since that tool requires you to attach a static styleguide to your components, you probably would want to remove it in production. But you would probably want to keep it to actually build your doc server, and then remove PropTypes still. This babel plugin gives you that flexibility.

Via .babelrc (Recommended)

Simply pass in the name of the static you want removed during build and set a boolean. If true, the static will be removed, if false, the static will stay attached to the component.

.babelrc

{
  "env": {
    "production": {
      "plugins": [
        ["transform-react-remove-statics", {
          "propTypes": true
        }]
      ]
    }
  }
}

Via Node API

require("babel-core").transform("code", {
  plugins: [
    ["transform-react-remove-statics", {
      "propTypes": true
    }]
  ]
});

Example Removing PropTypes

Using a configuration like we showed above, we can remove PropTypes from React Components.

In

const Foo = React.createClass({
  propTypes: {
    foo: React.PropTypes.string
  }
});

Out

const Foo = React.createClass({});

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-statics

This project was originally a fork of Babel Plugin Transform React Remove PropTypes, by oliviertassinari, which is in turn a fork of Babel Plugin React Remove PropTypes by nkt.

Thank you nkt and oliviertassinari for letting me stand on your shoulders.
