babel-plugin-require-context-hook

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin that replicates Webpack's require.context() for use in Node.js environments, primarily with Mocha tests or scripts. Current stable version 1.0.0. It rewrites require.context calls into a global function provided by a helper register script. Unlike alternatives (e.g., mock-require-context), this plugin uses a Babel transform to inject __dirname into the context, making it work seamlessly with babel-register. It has no runtime dependencies.

Verified usage

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

✓ require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register')();

✗ import { register } from 'babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register'

The register module exports a function that must be called immediately; it is not a default export.

plugin

✓ // in .babelrc: "plugins": ["require-context-hook"]

✗ require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook').default

The plugin is a Babel plugin, not a direct JavaScript import. Add it to your Babel configuration.

require.context

✓ const modules = require.context('./components', true, /\.js$/);

✗ import { context } from 'babel-plugin-require-context-hook'

require.context is a Webpack feature; this plugin makes it available in Node by rewriting calls.

Shows installation, Babel configuration, registering the global helper, and using require.context() in a Node script.

// Install: npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-require-context-hook // .babelrc { "plugins": ["require-context-hook"] } // In your entry or test setup file (e.g., setup.js) require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register')(); // Then use require.context() anywhere, e.g., in a Mocha test const modules = require.context('./fixtures', true, /\.json$/); modules.keys().forEach(key => { const data = modules(key); console.log(data); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaRequires calling the register function before any require.context usage; otherwise require.context is undefined.

fix

Ensure require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register')() is executed at the top of your entry point or in a setup file.

affects: all

breakingThe global require.context function is not available in the browser; only works in Node with babel-register.

fix

Use Webpack's native require.context for browser code.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

require.context is not a function

The register script was not called before trying to use require.context.

fix

Add require('babel-plugin-require-context-hook/register')() at the top of your entry file.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'keys' of undefined

The Babel plugin is not configured or the register step is missing.

fix

Check .babelrc includes 'require-context-hook' in plugins, and the register function is called.
