library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that extracts a specific ESM export and its dependencies from a file, based on a fork of NextJS's SSG transform plugin. Current version 0.1.0, single release. It operates by performing static analysis with Babel to remove unused exports and import statements, outputting only the targeted export and its prerequisites. Differentiates from tree-shaking tools by allowing per-export extraction at build time, useful for code splitting or dynamic imports. Note: The package has not been updated since initial release and may have limited compatibility with newer Babel versions.

Verified usage

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

default
✓ const extractExport = require('babel-plugin-extract-export')
Plugin is CommonJS only; no ESM or TypeScript typings provided.
default
✓ import extractExport from 'babel-plugin-extract-export'
✗ import * as extractExport from 'babel-plugin-extract-export'
The plugin exports a single default function. As of v0.1.0, ESM syntax works only if your bundler interops with CJS.
default
✓ plugins: [extractExport, { exportName: 'MyExport' }]
✗ plugins: [[extractExport, { exportName: 'MyExport' }]]
When using Babel's plugins array, the plugin and its options are passed as a tuple inside an array, but some may mistakenly wrap it twice.

Shows how to use the plugin with Babel to extract a specific export (Avatar) and its dependencies from a source string.

const babel = require('@babel/core'); const syntaxTypeScript = require('@babel/plugin-syntax-typescript'); const extractExport = require('babel-plugin-extract-export'); const source = ` import { Image } from 'system'; export const Avatar = () => <Image />; type BoxProps = { children: any }; export const Box = (props: BoxProps) => <div {...props} />; `; const result = babel.transformSync(source, { configFile: false, plugins: [ [syntaxTypeScript, { isTSX: true }], [extractExport, { exportName: 'Avatar' }], ], }); console.log(result.code); // Expected output: // import { Image } from 'system'; // export const Avatar = () => <Image />;

Known issues
breakingVersion 0.1.0 is the only release and may break with Babel versions other than 7.x. No tests for Babel 8.
fix
Ensure Babel 7 compatibility; upgrade to future releases if available.
affects: >=0.1.0
deprecatedThe plugin is in maintenance mode with no recent updates. It may be deprecated or superseded by NextJS's official transforms.
fix
Consider using NextJS's SSG transform directly or a more maintained alternative like babel-plugin-transform-imports.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaPlugin only extracts a single named export (via 'exportName' option). Multiple exports or default exports are not supported.
fix
Use separate passes or a different plugin if you need to extract multiple exports.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaRequires @babel/plugin-syntax-typescript with { isTSX: true } when extracting from TypeScript JSX files; otherwise parsing may fail silently.
fix
Always include the syntax plugin with appropriate configuration for TSX files.
affects: >=0.1.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-extract-export'
Package not installed or node_modules missing.
fix
Run 'yarn add babel-plugin-extract-export' or 'npm install babel-plugin-extract-export'.
TypeError: plugin is not a function
Passing the plugin incorrectly to Babel's plugins array; likely double-wrapped in array.
fix
Use [[plugin, options]] syntax correctly: 'plugins: [[extractExport, { exportName: 'Avatar' }]]'.
Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined at ... PluginPass.ExportNamedDeclaration
Plugin encountered a file without any named exports matching the specified exportName, or the file is not parseable.
fix
Ensure the file has an exported variable or function with the exact name given in exportName option.
