What is @types/babel__template?

The @types/babel__template package provides TypeScript type definitions for the babel-template package, which is a part of the Babel toolchain. It allows developers to use Babel's template function in TypeScript projects with type safety. The template function is used to create AST nodes from a string template.

What are @types/babel__template's main functionalities?

Type-safe template instantiation

This feature allows developers to instantiate Babel templates with type safety, ensuring that the variables and their types are correctly used within the template.

import template from '@babel/template';
import { Statement } from '@babel/types';

const buildRequire = template(`
  const IMPORT_NAME = require(SOURCE);
`);

const ast: Statement = buildRequire({
  IMPORT_NAME: 'myModule',
  SOURCE: '"my-module"'
});
