babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables

library1.3.1jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that replaces identifier references with literal values during compilation. Version 1.3.1 is the latest stable release. It supports simple literal replacements (strings, booleans) as well as complex expressions via AST nodes. The plugin is commonly used for compile-time constants like __DEV__ or __VERSION__. Compared to alternatives like babel-plugin-replace-identifiers, this one replaces identifiers with literal values, not other identifiers. Low maintenance and simple API, suitable for projects using Babel 6/7.

Verified usage

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

default (plugin)

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables'

✗ const plugin = require('babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables')

CommonJS require also works, but ESM pattern shown. Plugin is used in Babel config.

plugin in .babelrc

✓ ['inline-replace-variables', { '__SERVER__': true }]

✗ ['babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables', { '__SERVER__': true }]

Use short name 'inline-replace-variables' in plugins array, not full package name.

t (babel-types)

✓ import * as t from '@babel/types'

✗ const t = require('babel-types')

Using AST node constructor from babel-types is deprecated; use @babel/types in Babel 7.

Replace __SERVER__ with true and __VERSION__ with a string literal using Babel plugin configuration.

// .babelrc or babel.config.js { "plugins": [ ["inline-replace-variables", { "__SERVER__": true, "__VERSION__": "1.0.0" }] ] } // input.js if (__SERVER__) { console.log('Server version:', __VERSION__); } // output.js if (true) { console.log('Server version:', "1.0.0"); }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage name changed: 'babel-plugin-inline-replace-varibles' (misspelled) is deprecated; use 'babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables'.

fix

npm uninstall babel-plugin-inline-replace-varibles && npm install babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables

affects: <1.0.1

gotchaPlugin only replaces identifiers with literal values, not other identifiers. If you need identifier-to-identifier replacement, use babel-plugin-replace-identifiers instead.

fix

Use babel-plugin-replace-identifiers for identifier replacement.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaWhen using AST node replacement via 'replacement' property, the node must be a valid Babel AST node; passing a string will be interpreted as a literal value, not a node.

fix

Use { type: 'node', replacement: /* AST node */ } for expression replacements.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingBabel 6 vs Babel 7 compatibility: plugin may not work with Babel 7 without adjustment due to peer dependency on @babel/core.

fix

Ensure @babel/core is installed as a dev dependency and that the plugin is compatible (tested with Babel 7+).

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-inline-replace-varibles'

Misspelled package name: 'varibles' instead of 'variables'.

fix

Install the correct package: npm install babel-plugin-inline-replace-variables --save-dev

ReferenceError: __SERVER__ is not defined

Variable used in source code but not replaced because plugin not configured or not running.

fix

Add the plugin to .babelrc with the replacement value for __SERVER__.

Error: Plugin configuration: [object Object] is not a valid replacement

Trying to use an object replacement without proper 'type' property.

fix

Use format: { '__KEY__': { type: 'node', replacement: someASTNode } }
