echo-members-names-loader

Webpack loader that echoes Members Names

---

Quick Start

1 . Add dependencies:

package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "webpack": "^4.0.0",
    "echo-members-names-loader": "1.0.1",

2 . Configure loader:

webpack.config.test.js:

{
  use: {
    test: /\.css$/,
    use: {
      loader: 'echo-members-names-loader'
    }
  },

Requires "node": ">= 6.0.0".

Goals

echo-members-names-loader is a Webpack loader that transform any module to an object that echoes the name of any member that is accessed.

E.g.:

"Mocking" CSS Modules for test:

Having:

  import styles from './Some.css'
  ..
    <div className={styles.container}/>

In production/development environment, using css-loader loader, it will be transform to some random string:

styles.container => 'AD5dsSwwe_433SA452aswg'

but for tests, using echo-members-names-loader loader, it will be transform into accessed member's name:

styles.container => 'container'

In other words:

module.memberName => 'memberName'

An example of use can be looked at basecode-cordova-react-ts.

Influence

echo-members-names-loader use Proxy and is inspired in identity-obj-proxy [1], but implemented as a loader for webpack eliminating some checking done by the latter, that "prevent it" to run it in Non-Node environments (it accesses process.versions.node which is not available in Non-Node environments).

An alternative.

[1] Which can be use in Jest, but if you prefer Jasmine, Mocha, etc. is not a solution. (Being jest a "clone" of Jasmine, there is nothing that jest does that can not done by Good "Old Fashioned" Jasmine, in fact Jasmine can do ever more - in matters of testing, not configuration).
