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"'
});
