babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob

library1.1.2jsnpmunverified

Babel plugin that emulates Vite's import.meta.glob and import.meta.globEager functionality for use in non-Vite environments like Node.js test runners. Version 1.1.2 is current, released January 2024. Regularly updated with bug fixes and feature support, including eager imports via options. It provides an approximation of Vite's glob import transformation, not for production use. Differentiates from Vite itself by enabling these features in plain Babel pipelines, often used with Jest or Mocha.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob'

✗ const plugin = require('babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob')

ESM default export since v1. For CJS, use default import via babel.config.js or dynamic require()

plugin as function

✓ plugins: ['babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob']

✗ plugins: [require('babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob')]

String syntax in Babel config is preferred; direct require works but may cause issues with module resolution

TypeScript types

✓ import type { PluginObj } from '@babel/core'

This package includes TypeScript definitions; import plugin as shown above and assign to variable with type PluginObj

Shows Babel config setup and glob import transformation output with dynamic imports.

// babel.config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ 'babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob' ] }; // src/modules.js const modules = import.meta.glob('./fixtures/*.js'); // After transformation, modules becomes: // { // './fixtures/a.js': () => import('./fixtures/a.js'), // './fixtures/b.js': () => import('./fixtures/b.js') // } export default modules;

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOn Windows, generated paths use backslashes, causing issues. Fixed in 1.1.2, but ensure you have at least that version.

fix

Update to v1.1.2+ or manually replace backslashes in glob patterns.

affects: <1.1.2

deprecatedimport.meta.globEager is deprecated; use import.meta.glob with '{ eager: true }' instead.

fix

Replace import.meta.globEager('./path') with import.meta.glob('./path', { eager: true })

affects: >=1.1.0

gotchaThe plugin only transforms static glob patterns; dynamic expressions like import.meta.glob(someVar) are left untouched.

fix

Use a static string literal for the glob pattern.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaEager imports with { eager: true } require a supporting Babel version that understands import() statements; ensure @babel/core is up to date.

fix

Install @babel/core@^7.0.0 and @babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import if needed.

affects: >=1.1.0

deprecatedThe plugin uses __glob__* variable naming, which may conflict with user code. No change planned.

fix

Avoid using __glob__ prefixed variables in your code.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob'

Plugin not installed or Babel is looking in wrong node_modules.

fix

Run npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob and ensure Babel's config resolves from your project root.

TypeError: (0 , _default.default) is not a function

Using CJS require() to import the ESM default export incorrectly.

fix

Use string reference in Babel config: plugins: ['babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob'] instead of requiring directly.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'import'

Babel is not configured to handle dynamic import() syntax.

fix

Install @babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import and add it to your plugins array.

Error: .globEager is not a function

Using deprecated import.meta.globEager with a plugin version that doesn't support it yet.

fix

Use import.meta.glob with { eager: true } option, or update the plugin to v1.1.0+.

Error: Could not resolve glob pattern 'C:\path'

Windows backslashes in glob pattern not normalized; affected versions <1.1.2.

fix

Update to v1.1.2+ or use forward slashes in glob patterns.
