jscodeshift transform and API for finding and replacing module names in import/require statements
A great jscodeshift transform and API for finding and replacing module names in
import/require statements. I wrote this because other transforms I found seemed
not as convenient or comprehensive. This handles both relative imports/requires
and imports/requires from node_modules
. For instance, it's easy to replace a
component from a library with your own wrapper in a local file:
jscodeshift -t ~/jscodeshift-transport ./src \
--find=@material-ui/core/Button \
--replace=./src/components/Button
The correct relative path will be used in each replacement, relative to the file
being processed. It will work just as well if you swap the --find
and
--replace
values, restoring the original module names.
require
s it's not magic enough to handlerequire
is redeclared, e.g. requires inside a
function (require) { ... }
will be ignored, if you're doing that,
please stahpRun index.js
in this repo with jscodeshift
and pass two options to it:
--find=<VALUE>
: The module name to find, just like you would use in an
import
or require
statement, relative to the current working directory:
Paths to local files must be absolute or begin with ../ or ./; otherwise,
it is assumed you meant an import from node_modules
.--replace=<VALUE>
: The module name to replace it with, just like you would
use in an import
or require
statement, relative to the current working directory:
Paths to local files must be absolute or begin with ../ or ./; otherwise,
it is assumed you meant an import from node_modules
.npm i -g jscodeshift
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/jcoreio/jscodeshift-transport
cd ~/jscodeshift-transport
npm i
cd ~/path/to/your/project
jscodeshift -t ~/jscodeshift-transport ./src \
--find=@material-ui/core/Button \
--replace=./src/components/Button
jscodeshift-transport
exports a replaceModuleNames
function you can use in your
own jscodeshift transforms.
const {replaceModuleNames} = require('jscodeshift-transport')
It accepts the following arguments:
file: string
The path to the file being transformed
root: Collection
The root jscodeshift Collection
from the source code of file
. You must use
the babylon
parser (e.g. require('jscodeshift').withParser('babylon')(code)
)
find: string
The module name to find in import
/require
statements.
Paths starting with ./
or ../
are treated as relative
to the current working directory, not file
.
replace: string | (ReplaceOptions) => ?string
The module name to replace find
with in import
/require
statements, or a
function that computes the replacement. Paths starting with ./
or ../
are treated as relative to the current working directory, not file
. If
you pass a function, it is called with a ReplacementOptions
object containing
the following properties, and may return a string
replacement module name.
moduleName: string
: The module name in an import/require
statement to replace. It may differ from
find
if it is a relative path from a different directory to the same file.file: string
: The file
you passed to replaceSources
.path: NodePath
: The babel
NodePath
for the import
or require
statement.FAQs
