babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define

library2.32.2jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that prefixes AMD define() calls with a configurable namespace string, primarily used by Liferay projects. Current stable version is 2.32.2. It transforms define() to Liferay.Loader.define() by default, and supports custom namespaces via options. Unlike general-purpose plugins, it targets a niche use case: prepending a namespace to all AMD define calls in legacy codebases.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define'

✗ const { namespaceAmdDefine } = require('babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define')

ESM default import is the correct way to import the plugin for programmatic use.

plugin as

✓ // In .babelrc or babel.config.js: module.exports = { plugins: ['namespace-amd-define'] }

✗ module.exports = { plugins: ['babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define'] }

When using string shorthand in Babel config, omit the 'babel-plugin-' prefix.

with options

✓ module.exports = { plugins: [['namespace-amd-define', { namespace: 'MyApp' }]] }

✗ module.exports = { plugins: [{ name: 'namespace-amd-define', options: { namespace: 'MyApp' } }] }

Options are passed as the second element of an array, not as an object property.

Configures Babel to prefix AMD define() calls with a custom namespace.

// babel.config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ [ 'namespace-amd-define', { namespace: 'window.MyApp' } ] ] }; // Input: define(['dep'], function() { }); // Output: window.MyApp.define(['dep'], function() { });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaIf you omit options, the plugin uses 'Liferay.Loader' as the default namespace, which may not be appropriate for non-Liferay projects.

fix

Explicitly set the 'namespace' option to your desired prefix.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe plugin only transforms top-level define() calls; nested define() inside functions or conditional blocks are not affected.

fix

Ensure your define() calls are at module top level.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe plugin does not handle AMD require() calls; only define() is namespaced.

fix

Use a separate plugin or manual transformation for require() calls.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define'

Plugin not installed or incorrect import in Babel config.

fix

Run 'npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-namespace-amd-define' and use shorthand 'namespace-amd-define' in plugin list.

TypeError: plugin is not a function

Plugin was imported using default import but used incorrectly.

fix

Use the plugin as a string in Babel config: 'namespace-amd-define'.

Windows path issues when using absolute paths in options

The plugin may not normalize backslashes on Windows.

fix

Use forward slashes or path.resolve() to create cross-platform paths.
