babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except

library1.2.4jsnpmunverified

A utility to create a regular expression for excluding all node_modules from Babel transpilation in webpack, except for specified modules. Current stable version is 1.2.4. Release cadence is low (last update 2020). It simplifies the common webpack pattern of allowing certain ES6 modules from node_modules to be transpiled while excluding the rest. Key differentiator: supports wildcard patterns for module names since v1.2.0, unlike manual regex construction.

Code

Verified usage

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

default export

✓ const babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept = require('babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except');

✗ import babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept from 'babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except';

Package provides a CommonJS default export; ESM import may fail depending on bundler.

function call result

✓ exclude: babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept(['swiper', 'dom7'])

✗ exclude: babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept('swiper')

The function expects an array of module names; passing a string causes unexpected behavior.

wildcard pattern

✓ exclude: babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept(['react-*', '@scope/*'])

✗ exclude: babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept(['react*'])

Wildcard must use '*-' prefix for exact match on module name part; plain '*' not supported.

Shows how to use the package to exclude all node_modules except specified ones from Babel transpilation in webpack.

const babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept = require('babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except'); // webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept([ 'custom-jquery-methods', 'swiper', 'dom7' ]), use: { loader: 'babel-loader', options: { presets: ['@babel/preset-env'] } } } ] } };

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe function returns a RegExp, not a string or array. Do not use it as a string pattern.

fix

Use directly in the `exclude` property of webpack rule.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingWildcard support added in v1.2.0. In v1.1.x, wildcards are not supported and will be treated literally.

fix

Update to v1.2.0+ or use exact module names.

affects: <1.2.0

gotchaThe exclude pattern only works for top-level node_modules; it may not correctly handle nested dependencies.

fix

Manually add nested module paths if needed, or use a different approach.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run `npm install babel-loader-exclude-node-modules-except --save-dev`

TypeError: module names is not iterable

Called function with a string instead of an array of strings.

fix

Pass an array: `babelLoaderExcludeNodeModulesExcept(['module-name'])` not a string.
