Readme
Converts import statements for less/css/scss into conditional requires in compiled file:
src/index.js:
import ('./myStyles.less')
is converted into lib/index.js:
!!(typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.document && window.document.createElement) ? require("./styles/myStyles.less") : void 0;
If we run without this plugin:
babel-node src/index.js
or
babel src --out-dir lib
node lib/index.js
we will get an error:
...myStyles.css:2
.main {
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token .
As node is trying to process less-css-scss file. So we do not want node on the server to process those files at all.
babel-plugin-transform-require-ignore will remove require statements for styles from transpiled output
so your lib/index.js
will have no mentioning of
require('myStyles.less')
But now, if you run your webpack to create client bundle from your lib/*
, your webpack style loader and ExtractTextPlugin
will not find any less-css-scss files to grab and bundle.
With the appoach of wrapping require to client only condition - require is still there for webpack to act on.
Install as dev dependency:
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-client-only-require
To configure add plugin to .babelrc plugins section:
{
....
"plugins": [
....
["client-only-require", {
"extensions": ["less", "scss", "css"]
}]
]
}
