karma-typescript-es6-transform

Karma-Typescript ❤️ ES2015

This plugin uses the Babel compiler to transform ES2015 (aka ES6) code to ES5 syntax, making the code browser compatible when running tests with karma-typescript.

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev karma-typescript-es6-transform

Configuration

In the karma-typescript section of karma.conf.js:

karmaTypescriptConfig: {
    bundlerOptions: {
        transforms: [
            require("karma-typescript-es6-transform")()
        ]
    }
}

Babel core options

By default, the options presets: [["@babel/preset-env"]] and filename: TransformContext.filename are passed to the Babel compiler.

Custom options can be passed to the compiler in the first argument when calling the plugin:

karmaTypescriptConfig: {
    bundlerOptions: {
        transforms: [
            require("karma-typescript-es6-transform")({
                presets: [
                    ["@babel/preset-env", {
                        targets: {
                            chrome: "60"
                        }
                    }]
                ]
            })
        ]
    }
}

Passing custom presets or filename options will override the default settings.

ES2015 syntax detection

The javascript code passed to the plugin is statically analyzed by recursively traversing the AST, looking for these ES2015 keywords: class, const, export, import, let. If any keyword or a fat arrow function is found the code will be transformed to ES5 syntax.
