amd-to-es6-other

library0.2.5jsnpmunverified

A CLI and programmatic tool to convert AMD modules (RequireJS style) into ES6 module syntax. Version 0.2.5 is the latest, released mid-2015, with no recent updates. It handles dependencies, default exports, and side-effect imports, but does not support named define, multiple defines per file, or UMD patterns. It offers options for directory conversion, file ignore patterns, and beautification via jsbeautify. Key differentiator: simple, focused conversion without bundling or transpilation of other ES6 features. Compared to alternatives like lebab or jscodeshift, this is minimal and specific.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

convert

✓ import { convert } from 'amd-to-es6'

✗ const convert = require('amd-to-es6').convert;

The package exports a single function `convert` via named export. CommonJS require must use `.convert` property.

default

✓ import amdToEs6 from 'amd-to-es6'

✗ import * as amdToEs6 from 'amd-to-es6'

There is no default export; only named exports exist. Using default import will result in undefined.

convertFile

✓ import { convertFileSync } from 'amd-to-es6'

✗ import { convertFile } from 'amd-to-es6'

The package provides `convertFileSync` for synchronous file conversion, but no `convertFile` asynchronous variant. Check version docs.

Shows how to use the programmatic API to convert a single AMD module string to ES6 syntax.

const { convert } = require('amd-to-es6'); const amdCode = `define(['path/to/a'], function (a) { return function (x) { return a(x); }; });`; const es6Code = convert(amdCode); console.log(es6Code); // Output: // import a from 'path/to/a'; // export default function (x) { return a(x); };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaNamed define modules are not supported (e.g., define('my-module', ...)). Attempting to convert such files will result in a skip or error.

fix

Remove the module name from the define call before conversion.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaFiles with multiple module definitions are not supported. Only one define per file is converted; others are ignored.

fix

Split files so each contains a single define.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaUMD style modules where the callback is not a function literal (e.g., define(factoryFn)) are not supported.

fix

Rewrite UMD modules to use a literal function in the define callback.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe package has not been updated since 2015. It may not work with modern Node.js versions or newer JavaScript syntax.

fix

Consider using alternative tools like lebab or manual conversion.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Unsupported define pattern

The file contains a named define, multiple defines, or a non-literal callback function.

fix

Ensure the define call has no name, only one define per file, and the callback is a function literal.

TypeError: convert is not a function

Incorrect import: using default import instead of named import.

fix

Use `const { convert } = require('amd-to-es6');` or `import { convert } from 'amd-to-es6';`

Cannot find module 'js-beautify'

The --beautify option requires js-beautify, which is an optional dependency not installed by default in some environments.

fix

Install js-beautify globally or locally: `npm install js-beautify`
