babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node

Babel plugin to transpile import() to a deferred require(), for node. Matches the proposed spec.

NOTE: Babylon >= v6.12.0 is required to correctly parse dynamic imports.

Usage

Via .babelrc (Recommended)

.babelrc

{
  "plugins": ["dynamic-import-node"]
}

Options

• noInterop - A boolean value, that if true will not interop the require calls. Useful to avoid using require('module').default on commonjs modules.

{
  "plugins": [
    ["dynamic-import-node", { "noInterop": true }]
  ]
}

Via CLI

$ babel --plugins dynamic-import-node script.js

Via Node API

  plugins: ['dynamic-import-node']
});

Code Example

  ]) => {
   console.log(Import1);
   /* CODE HERE*/
  });

Similar packages

@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import

This package allows Babel to parse the dynamic import() syntax. However, unlike babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node, it does not transpile import() to require(). It's used in conjunction with other plugins or presets that handle the transformation or in environments that support dynamic imports.

babel-plugin-transform-dynamic-import

Similar to babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node, this plugin transforms dynamic import() syntax into a require() call. The difference lies in the implementation details and the specific use cases they target. While babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node is focused on Node.js environments, babel-plugin-transform-dynamic-import may offer broader compatibility or different configuration options.
