babel-plugin-replace-ts-export-assignment

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that enables TypeScript's `export =` assignment syntax to be used when compiling with `@babel/preset-typescript`. It transforms `export =` into `module.exports =` to maintain CommonJS semantics. Current version 0.0.2 is a minimal, single-purpose plugin with no active development since late 2022. Key differentiators: lightweight and focused, no configuration needed, works seamlessly with `@babel/preset-typescript`. Release cadence is low; only two minor versions exist.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import replaceTSExportAssignment from 'babel-plugin-replace-ts-export-assignment'

✗ const replaceTSExportAssignment = require('babel-plugin-replace-ts-export-assignment')

Plugin is ESM-only. CommonJS require will fail if using default export; named export also available.

replaceTSExportAssignment

✓ import { replaceTSExportAssignment } from 'babel-plugin-replace-ts-export-assignment'

Named export available for compatibility.

Demonstrates adding the plugin to Babel config and transforming `export =` into `module.exports`.

// babel.config.js module.exports = { presets: [ "@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-typescript" ], plugins: [ "babel-plugin-replace-ts-export-assignment" ] }; // source.ts export = { foo: "bar" }; // After Babel transform: // "use strict"; // module.exports = { foo: "bar" };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin only works with `@babel/preset-typescript`; other TypeScript presets may not support `export =`.

fix

Ensure `@babel/preset-typescript` is in your Babel presets.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaTransformation is a simple text replacement; it does not check for JavaScript syntax errors after replacement.

fix

Ensure the `export =` statement is syntactically correct with a valid expression.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThis plugin modifies `module.exports` directly, which may conflict with other plugins or corejs polyfills.

fix

Use only one plugin that modifies module.exports to avoid overwrites.

affects: >=0.0.0
