rewrite-imports

rewrite-imports

Transforms various import statements into ES5-compatible require() calls, using regular expressions.

Caveats

• Returns a string and does not provide a runtime nor does it evaluate the output.

  :bulb: For this behavior, use rewrite-module or check out @taskr/esnext for an example.

• Have false positives, you may want to use an AST to find actual import statements before transformation.

  :bulb: Check out an example implementation.

Install

$ npm install --save rewrite-imports

Usage

const rewriteImports = require('rewrite-imports');

rewriteImports(`import foo from '../bar'`);
//=> const foo = require('../bar');

rewriteImports(`import { foo } from 'bar'`);
//=> const bar$1 = require('bar');
//=> const foo = bar$1.foo;

rewriteImports(`import * as path from 'path';`);
//=> const path = require('path');

rewriteImports(`import { foo as bar, baz as bat, lol } from 'quz';`);
//=> const quz$1 = require('quz');
//=> const bar = quz$1.foo;
//=> const bat = quz$1.baz;
//=> const lol = quz$1.lol;
