babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-and-webpack

Babel plugin to transpile import() to both a deferred require(), for node, and require.ensure, for webpack. Allowing dual compatibility for both environments.

Why would you need this? If you have a shared module with dynamic imports that needs to be shared between both node and browser environments and don't want to do additional transforming with babel.

This plugin is a shameless patching together of hardwork by Airbnb:

• https://github.com/airbnb/babel-plugin-dynamic-import-webpack
• https://github.com/airbnb/babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node

NOTE: Babylon >= v6.12.0 is required to correctly parse dynamic imports.

NOTE: Webpack >= 2 supports import() natively. Only consider using this plugin if you need code that can interop between both node and Webpack without another babel transform.

Installation

npm install babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-and-webpack --save-dev

Usage

Via .babelrc (Recommended)

.babelrc

{
  "plugins": ["dynamic-import-node-and-webpack"]
}

Options

• noInterop - A boolean value, that if true will not interop the require calls. Useful to avoid using require('module').default on commonjs modules.

{
  "plugins": [
    ["dynamic-import-node-and-webpack", { "noInterop": true }]
  ]
}

Via CLI

$ babel --plugins dynamic-import-node-and-webpack script.js

Via Node API

require('babel-core').transform('code', {
  plugins: ['dynamic-import-node-and-webpack']
});

Code Example

Promise.all([
  import('./lib/import1'),
  import('./lib/import2')
 ]).then(([
   Import1,
   Import2
  ]) => {
   console.log(Import1);
   /* CODE HERE*/
  });
