What is @types/babel__core?
The @types/babel__core package provides TypeScript type definitions for Babel Core, the primary library for transforming JavaScript code according to specified plugins and presets. This package is essential for TypeScript developers who use Babel, as it enables type checking and IntelliSense for Babel Core's API within TypeScript projects.
What are @types/babel__core's main functionalities?
Transforming code
Transform JavaScript code using Babel presets and plugins. This example demonstrates transforming a simple piece of JavaScript code using the '@babel/preset-env' preset.
"import * as babel from 'babel__core';\nconst code = 'const x = 1;';\nconst result = babel.transform(code, { presets: ['@babel/preset-env'] });\nconsole.log(result.code);"
Loading Babel configuration
Load Babel configuration for a given file. This example shows how to load the Babel configuration options for a specific file, which is useful for understanding how Babel will process the file.
"import { loadPartialConfig } from 'babel__core';\nconst config = loadPartialConfig({ filename: './path/to/file.js' });\nconsole.log(config.options);"
Parsing code
Parse JavaScript code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This example demonstrates parsing a piece of JavaScript code into an AST, which can then be manipulated or analyzed.
"import { parse } from 'babel__core';\nconst code = 'let x = 1;';\nconst ast = parse(code, { sourceType: 'module' });\nconsole.log(ast);"
Other packages similar to @types/babel__core
@babel/core
The core Babel package itself, which @types/babel__core provides types for. It performs the actual transformations on JavaScript code but does not include TypeScript type definitions.
@types/babel__preset-env
Provides TypeScript type definitions for Babel's '@babel/preset-env'. Similar to @types/babel__core, it offers type checking and IntelliSense for '@babel/preset-env', but specifically for Babel's environment preset rather than the core library.
