sindre-module-paths

Synopsis

Sindre's modules aim for Node.js, not the browser. Your friend probably tells you that you should config your tools such as webpack as follows:

{
  test: /\.js$/,
  exclude: /node_modules/,
  use: 'babel-loader',
}

You want to build your app fast so you don't want to transpile you node_modules and you assume they are published as ES5. The minute you install a module that's ES5 you freak out. You tell yourself: I'm not gonna install Sindre's module in my webapp any more :disappointed:. But sindre has a million modules!!. A lot of them might be in your transitive deps and you have to use npm ls to find out the path and manually add it to you webpack conf. If you are not using yarn or npm-shrinkwrap, the structure of your node_modules might change. You are pull your hair :haircut:. You don't want to suffer any more so you open an issue. But did you know that he's tired of getting issues like this on all his repos? You take a step back and think: Is it webpack's problem? I don't think so. This tiny module comes to the rescue.

Usage

const path = require('path')
const sindreModulePaths = require('sindre-module-paths')

// Then in some async function
const es6ModulePaths = await sindreModulePaths();

{
  test: /\.js$/,
  include: [
    ...es6ModulePaths,
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
  ],
  use: 'babel-loader',
}

It will include all Sindre's modules in your dependency trees. Never manually supply the paths any more. No struggling. Life comes back to normal.

CLI

npm i -g sindre-module-paths
sindre-module-paths

Use the command to inspect your project. This very own module contains more than 50 Sindre's modules (including devDependencies).
