babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5

library7.8.1jsnpmunverified

An unofficial Babel plugin for transforming ES6 modules to SAP UI5 module format. Version 7.8.1 is current, with a regular release cadence following UI5 conventions. Key differentiator: it enables using modern ES6 import/export syntax in SAP UI5 projects, converting them to UI5's define() calls. A preset is recommended over direct plugin use. Requires Node >=18 and @babel/core as a peer dependency.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5'

✗ const plugin = require('babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5')

ESM-only, CommonJS require not supported.

transformModulesUI5

✓ import { transformModulesUI5 } from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5'

✗ import transformModulesUI5 from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5'

Named export for advanced usage.

preset

✓ import preset from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5/preset'

✗ import preset from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5'

The recommended preset is at a subpath, not the default export.

Shows how to configure Babel with the plugin, importing the default export.

// babel.config.js import plugin from 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5'; export default { plugins: [ [plugin, { // options }] ] };

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 7.0.0 dropped support for Node < 10 and Babel 6.

fix

Upgrade to version 7.x and ensure Node >=10 (now >=18).

affects: <7.0.0

deprecatedDirect use of the plugin is deprecated; the preset is recommended.

fix

Use babel-preset-transform-modules-ui5 instead.

affects: >=7.0.0

breakingVersion 7.8.0 requires Node >=18, breaking older Node versions.

fix

Update Node to >=18 or stay on older plugin version.

affects: <7.8.0

gotchaThe plugin must be used with @babel/core as a peer dependency; missing it causes runtime errors.

fix

Install @babel/core as a devDependency.

affects: >=7.0.0

gotchaImport paths in UI5 modules are case-sensitive and must match module names exactly; the plugin does not normalize paths.

fix

Ensure import paths match the UI5 module IDs.

affects: >=7.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module '@babel/core'

@babel/core is missing from node_modules.

fix

npm install @babel/core --save-dev

Error: Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions.

Using CommonJS require instead of ESM import.

fix

Use import syntax in babel.config.js (ESM).

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'call')

Incorrect Babel version or plugin not applied as a function.

fix

Ensure babel.config.js exports the plugin correctly as [plugin, options].

Error: The preset 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5/preset' is not found

Preset path is incorrect or package not installed.

fix

Install the plugin package and use 'babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5/preset' (case-sensitive).
