babel-preset-angular

library6.0.15jsnpmunverified

Babel preset for all Angular plugins. Current stable version is 6.0.15. This package bundles multiple Babel transforms needed for Angular applications. It is designed for older Angular (1.x) projects; for Angular 2+ (now Angular), use the Angular compiler instead. The preset is not actively maintained and relies on legacy Babel 6. Release cadence is low; no recent updates. Key differentiator: simplifies configuration by grouping Angular-specific Babel plugins.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ module.exports = { presets: ['angular'] }

✗ require('babel-preset-angular')

Used via Babel's .babelrc or programmatic API, not directly imported in code.

preset

✓ { "presets": ["angular"] }

✗ { "presets": ["babel-preset-angular"] }

Babel resolves preset names without the 'babel-preset-' prefix.

plugins

✓ require('babel-core').transform('code', { presets: [require('babel-preset-angular')] })

✗ import preset from 'babel-preset-angular'

ESM import may not work; use CommonJS require with babel-core.

Shows how to set up .babelrc to use babel-preset-angular and compile a file via CLI.

// Ensure you have babel-cli and babel-preset-angular installed // npm install --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-angular // Create .babelrc file with: { "presets": ["angular"] } // Then run: // babel script.js --out-file script-compiled.js

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedbabel-preset-angular is not actively maintained and uses Babel 6, which is end-of-life.

fix

Migrate to a modern Angular build system (e.g., Angular CLI with @angular/compiler-cli).

affects: >=6.0

breakingThe preset includes babel-preset-es2015 which doesn't support modern JavaScript features like async/await beyond ES2015.

fix

Add additional presets like babel-preset-stage-2 or use babel-preset-env.

affects: >=6.0

gotchaUsing the full preset name 'babel-preset-angular' in .babelrc presets array does not work; Babel expects short name 'angular'.

fix

Use 'angular' (omitting 'babel-preset-') in the presets array.

affects: >=6.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

require is not defined

Using ESM import syntax with babel-core in a CommonJS environment.

fix

Use require instead of import: const babel = require('babel-core');

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-preset-angular'

Missing npm install or incorrect require path.

fix

Run 'npm install --save-dev babel-preset-angular' and ensure node_modules is present.

Unknown plugin 'angular' specified in

Using an outdated Babel version that doesn't support unnamed plugins.

fix

Use Babel 6 or check preset naming.
