babel-preset-atomic

library5.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Babel preset optimized for Electron and Node.js environments, maintained by atom-ide-community. Current stable version is 5.0.0 targeting Electron 11. Release cadence is irregular. Key differentiators: includes TypeScript, React, Flow support; configurable targets; previously bundled @babel/core as dependency (v4.1.0-4.3.0) but now requires peer dependencies. Supports both ESM and CJS.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ module.exports = require('babel-preset-atomic')

✗ import preset from 'babel-preset-atomic'

This is a Babel preset, not a regular module. It is used via Babel configuration, not imported directly in code. The correct usage is to add it to your .babelrc or babel.config.js as a preset entry.

preset

✓ module.exports = { presets: ['babel-preset-atomic'] }

✗ const preset = require('babel-preset-atomic').default

No default export; use the package name string or module.exports directly.

createPreset

✓ const { createPreset } = require('babel-preset-atomic')

✗ import { createPreset } from 'babel-preset-atomic'

ESM imports may work in Node 14+ but CJS is safer. The createPreset function is available since v4.4.0 for advanced configuration.

Shows how to configure the preset with Electron 11 target, TypeScript and React support, then compile a file.

// babel.config.js module.exports = { presets: [ ['babel-preset-atomic', { targets: { electron: '11' }, typescript: true, react: true }] ] }; // Then create an index.js with modern JS const greet = (name: string) => `Hello, ${name}!`; console.log(greet('World')); // Run: npx babel index.js --out-file index.bundle.js

Debug

Known issues

breakingv5.0.0 changed default Electron target to 11. Projects targeting older Electron versions must specify targets option explicitly.

fix

Add { targets: { electron: '9' } } to preset options for Electron 9 compatibility.

affects: >=5.0.0

breakingv4.0.0 dropped automatic Electron 5 targeting. Must provide targets option for Electron 5.

fix

Add { targets: { electron: '5' } } to preset options for Electron 5.

affects: >=4.0.0

deprecatedIncluding @babel/core as a dependency was deprecated after v4.3.0. Now it is a peer dependency.

fix

Install @babel/core as a devDependency: npm install --save-dev @babel/core

affects: <=4.3.0

gotchaThe preset does not export a default but uses module.exports. CommonJS require('babel-preset-atomic') returns an object, not a function. Direct import may fail.

fix

Use require('babel-preset-atomic') as a string in Babel config or use module.exports = require('babel-preset-atomic') if you need to modify.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedTypeScript support from v4.4.0 uses @babel/preset-typescript. Previous versions used a custom transformer which may have different behavior.

fix

No action needed, but review TypeScript-specific options (e.g., isTSX, jsxPragma).

affects: >=4.4.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module '@babel/core'

Missing peer dependency @babel/core

fix

npm install --save-dev @babel/core

Error: Preset [object Object] is invalid. Expected a string or an array of [presetName, options]

Used import or incorrect module.exports pattern in Babel config

fix

Replace import with module.exports = { presets: ['babel-preset-atomic'] } or require('babel-preset-atomic') as the preset name.

Error: Unknown option: .targets. Check that it is correct

Preset options are incorrectly placed or typo in targets

fix

Verify targets is an object: { targets: { electron: '11' } }

Error: Requires Babel ">=7" but was loaded with "6.x"

Incompatible Babel version (6.x) installed

fix

Upgrade to Babel 7: npm install --save-dev @babel/core@^7
