What is @babel/plugin-syntax-typescript?
The @babel/plugin-syntax-typescript package is a plugin for Babel that allows Babel to parse TypeScript syntax. This means it enables Babel to understand TypeScript code, but it does not perform type checking or compilation to JavaScript. It's primarily used in projects that want to take advantage of Babel's transformations and plugins while writing their code in TypeScript.
Parsing TypeScript Syntax
This feature allows Babel to parse TypeScript code, including imports, exports, interfaces, and type annotations, without performing type checking. It's useful for projects that use Babel for code transformation and want to write their source code in TypeScript.
import { foo } from 'bar';
interface MyInterface {
myProperty: string;
}
const myVar: MyInterface = { myProperty: 'Hello' };
