babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7

library2.0.7jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that transpiles dynamic import() expressions to deferred require() calls for Node.js environments. This version (2.0.7) is a fork of the original airbnb plugin updated to support Babel 7. It matches the proposed import() spec and requires Babylon >= v6.12.0 to correctly parse dynamic imports. Key differentiators: specifically targets Node.js (not browsers), uses deferred require() to preserve lazy loading semantics, and is a drop-in replacement for the Babel 6 version. Maintenance status: a fork created to test Babel 7 compatibility; users should consider the official airbnb version or alternative dynamic import transforms for production.

Verified usage

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

plugin (default)

✓ module.exports = { plugins: ['dynamic-import-node-babel-7'] }

✗ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7'

The plugin is used as a string in Babel configuration, not imported directly in code. For programmatic use, require the package and pass as plugin.

require (CommonJS)

✓ const dynamicImportPlugin = require('babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7');

✗ import dynamicImportPlugin from 'babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7';

This package is CJS-only; ES module import is not supported. Use require() in Node.js.

Shows Babel configuration and how dynamic import() is transformed to deferred require() for Node.

// Install: npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7 // .babelrc { "plugins": ["dynamic-import-node-babel-7"] } // Source code async function loadModule() { const module = await import('./some-module'); return module; } // After transpilation (Node) function loadModule() { return Promise.resolve().then(() => require('./some-module')); }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis fork may not receive updates; prefer the original airbnb plugin or @babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import with a dynamic import polyfill.

fix

Use the official @babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import for parsing, and a runtime polyfill like dynamic-import-polyfill if needed.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe plugin name in .babelrc is 'dynamic-import-node-babel-7', not 'dynamic-import-node' (original plugin name).

fix

Ensure the plugin string matches the package name: "dynamic-import-node-babel-7".

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingBabel 7 changed plugin API; this fork may not be compatible with Babel 6 or future Babel versions.

fix

Use only with Babel 7. For Babel 6, use the original `babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node`.

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7'

Plugin not installed or package name misspelled in configuration.

fix

Run `npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node-babel-7` and check .babelrc for correct name.

Support for the experimental syntax 'importMeta' isn't currently enabled

Babel not configured to parse dynamic import syntax; this plugin only transforms, it doesn't parse.

fix

Add '@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import' to plugins list in addition to this plugin.
