babel-plugin-compact-reexports

library1.1.0jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that optimizes ES module re-exports in AMD by replacing verbose definitions with concise alias calls. Version 1.1.0 is the latest stable release. The plugin targets Ember applications using loader.js but can work with any AMD loader supporting alias API. Differentiator: drastically reduces boilerplate for re-export-only modules, saving bytes over the wire in production builds.

babel-plugin-compact-reexports

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-compact-reexports'

✗ const plugin = require('babel-plugin-compact-reexports')

CommonJS require works in Node/Babel config files; default export is the plugin.

babel-plugin-compact-reexports

✓ module.exports = { plugins: ['compact-reexports'] }

✗ module.exports = { plugins: ['babel-plugin-compact-reexports'] }

Babel allows shorthand plugin name without 'babel-plugin-' prefix.

babel-plugin-compact-reexports

✓ require('babel-plugin-compact-reexports')

CommonJS require is acceptable in babel.config.js or .babelrc.

Shows Babel configuration and the optimization from verbose AMD define to compact alias.

// .babelrc.js module.exports = { plugins: ['compact-reexports'] }; // Input: my-module.js export { default } from 'their-module'; // Compiled output: define.alias('their-module', 'my-module');

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin only works with AMD module format. If not using AMD (e.g., CommonJS or ESM output), the plugin does nothing.

fix

Ensure Babel is configured to output AMD modules, e.g., using @babel/plugin-transform-modules-amd.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaAlias relies on loader.js API. Custom AMD loaders without alias support will ignore the alias call, potentially causing module resolution failures.

fix

Verify your AMD loader supports similar alias functionality, or avoid using this plugin.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaOnly handles re-exports of the form 'export { default } from ...' or 'export * from ...'. Complex re-exports (renamed, multiple) are not optimized.

fix

Simplify re-exports to plain default or star exports to benefit from compaction.

affects: >=1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: .plugins[0][0] must be a string, object, function

Using an incorrect plugin name or not installing the plugin

fix

Run 'npm install babel-plugin-compact-reexports --save-dev' and ensure Babel config has 'compact-reexports' in plugins array.

Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-compact-reexports'

Plugin not installed in local node_modules

fix

Run 'npm install babel-plugin-compact-reexports --save-dev'.
