babel-plugin-transform-system-import-commonjs

Babel plugin that transforms ES2015 System.import into CommonJS require.

Deprecation notice

** Since import() proposal was accepted, System.import function now is obsolete and this plugin is not recommended to use in new projects. Please use import() function with babel-plugin-transform-import-commonjs instead. **

How this works

This plugin transforms

var myModule = "./path/to/myModule";
 
System.import(myModule).then(function (module) {
  console.log(module);
});

to

var myModule = "./path/to/myModule";
 
new Promise(function(resolve) {
  resolve(require(myModule));
}.bind(this)).then(function (module) {
  console.log(module);
});

Requirements

You need support for Promise, use polyfill if needed.
