babel-plugin-normalize-requires

library2.32.2jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that normalizes AMD require() calls by removing file extensions (e.g., .js) and trailing slashes from module paths. Version 2.32.2 is current; part of the Liferay Frontend Projects monorepo. It is designed for Liferay's AMD module system and does not handle CommonJS or ES module imports. Key differentiator: it preserves npm package names that contain .js (e.g., a package named 'foo.js') while normalizing module paths. Release cadence is irregular, tied to Liferay SDK updates.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ module.exports = require('babel-plugin-normalize-requires')

✗ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-normalize-requires'

CJS-only; no ESM export. Use require() in .babelrc or programmatic Babel config.

babel plugin config

✓ plugins: ['normalize-requires']

✗ plugins: [['babel-plugin-normalize-requires', {}]]

In .babelrc, use shorthand name 'normalize-requires' (no options). Options object is currently unused.

programmatic usage

✓ const normalizeRequires = require('babel-plugin-normalize-requires'); babel.transform(code, { plugins: [normalizeRequires] })

✗ const { normalizeRequires } = require('babel-plugin-normalize-requires')

Default export is the plugin function; no named exports.

Configures Babel to strip .js suffixes and trailing slashes from AMD require() calls.

// .babelrc { "plugins": ["normalize-requires"] } // Input: require('./a-module.js'); // Output: require('./a-module');

Debug

Known issues

breakingPlugin only processes AMD define()/require() calls, not CommonJS require() or ES import statements.

fix

Use with Babel preset-env or other plugins if targeting CJS/ESM: the plugin will silently skip non-AMD calls.

affects: all

gotchaThe plugin does not handle dynamic require() calls (e.g., require(variable)).

fix

Ensure require() arguments are string literals for normalization to occur.

affects: all

deprecatedPackage may not be actively maintained as part of Liferay Frontend Projects; no recent releases for this package specifically.

fix

Consider forking or migrating to alternative module normalization tools if updates are needed.

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

require('./a-module.js') not normalized

The require() call is inside a non-AMD context or the plugin is not configured correctly.

fix

Ensure Babel is configured with the plugin in .babelrc and that the code is processed by Babel (check for exclude/include patterns).

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-normalize-requires'

Package not installed or missing from node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-normalize-requires' and verify package.json.
