Replace JavaScript expressions with other expressions.
$ yarn add --dev babel-plugin-transform-replace-expressions
Input file:
const env = process.env.NODE_ENV;
typeof Hello === "number";
.babelrc
:
{
"plugins": [
[
"babel-plugin-transform-replace-expressions",
{
"replace": {
"process.env.NODE_ENV": "\"production\"",
"typeof Hello": "42"
}
}
]
]
}
Output:
const env = "production";
42 === "number";
A conflict happens when two replacements have the same Babel abstract syntax tree representation. For example expressions typeof A
and typeof (A)
are formatted differently but have the same AST representation as far as the plugin is concerned. In those situations the default is to raise an error, and can be overwritten by setting the option allowConflictingReplacements
to true
.
You can also always give the replacements as an array of key-value pairs. When allowConflictingReplacements
is set to true
the last conflicting replacement gets selected.
{
"plugins": [
[
"babel-plugin-transform-replace-expressions",
{
"replace": [
["typeof A", "B"],
["typeof (A)", "C"]
],
"allowConflictingReplacements": true
}
]
]
}
Replacements are only applied to expressions. Therefore replacing DEBUG
with false
in const DEBUG = true
does nothing, but for if (DEBUG) {}
the result is if (false) {}
.
Only full expressions count. You can't replace env
in process.env.NODE_ENV
, you have to replace process.env
, which is a proper expression in Babel AST.
A replacement is only applied when the result is valid JavaScript. For example replacing a
with 2
in the following code:
a = 1;
b = a;
yields
a = 1;
b = 2;
