library1.7.1jsnpmunverified

Babel preset for Create Guten Block (CGB), version 1.7.1, used to transpile modern JavaScript for WordPress Gutenberg block development. It configures Babel with plugins and presets optimized for WordPress plugin environments, including React JSX support and ES2015+ transforms. This preset is part of the CGB toolchain, which is now deprecated in favor of @wordpress/create-block. It simplifies Babel configuration for WordPress block development but is no longer actively maintained.

Verified usage

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

default export

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

✗ import preset from 'babel-preset-cgb';

CJS-only; package does not support ESM. Use require().

preset name in config

✓ presets: ['cgb']

✗ presets: ['babel-preset-cgb']

Short form 'cgb' works because Babel resolves prefixes. Full name also works.

preset options

✓ presets: [['cgb', { modules: false }]]

✗ presets: ['cgb', { modules: false }]

Options must be in an array format: [presetName, options].

Installs the preset and configures Babel to use it for transpiling a JavaScript file.

// Install npm install --save-dev @babel/core babel-preset-cgb // .babelrc or babel.config.js { "presets": ["cgb"] } // Example: Transpile a file using Babel CLI npx babel src/index.js --out-file dist/index.js

Using an outdated Babel version (<7) that does not support modern preset format.

fix

Upgrade to Babel 7 by installing '@babel/core' and '@babel/preset-env'.

Error: Requires Babel "^7.0.0", but was loaded with "6.x".
