babel-preset-node

library5.1.1jsnpmunverified

Babel preset that automatically targets the latest Node.js version by including only the necessary transforms. Version 5.1.1 is stable but unmaintained; the preset requires bluebird as a peer dependency. Unlike generic babel-preset-env, this preset is Node-specific and historically was used to avoid polyfills for unsupported Node features. No longer actively developed; prefer @babel/preset-env with node target.

Verified usage

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

default

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

✗ import presets from 'babel-preset-node'

CommonJS only; Babel presets cannot be imported as ES modules.

preset

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

✗ module.exports = { presets: [require('babel-preset-node')] }

String reference is preferred over require().

plugins

✓ const preset = require('babel-preset-node');

✗ import preset from 'babel-preset-node'

Accessing plugins list via require; no ES module export.

Configures Babel to target the latest Node version, reducing unnecessary transforms.

// .babelrc { "presets": ["babel-preset-node"] } // or babel.config.js module.exports = { presets: [ ['babel-preset-node', { target: 'current' }] ] };

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is no longer maintained. Use @babel/preset-env with 'targets.node' instead.

fix

Replace with @babel/preset-env: npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-env and configure { presets: [['@babel/preset-env', { targets: { node: 'current' } }]] }.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaInstalling this preset pulls in bluebird as a peer dependency, which may add unnecessary polyfills for Node.js 6+.

fix

Consider omitting bluebird or switching to @babel/preset-env which does not impose peer deps.

affects: >=4.0.0

breakingVersion 5.x changed from plugin-based to preset-based configuration. Existing configs with 'plugins: [require("babel-preset-node/plugins")]' may break.

fix

Update to use 'presets: ["babel-preset-node"]' string syntax.

affects: >=5.0.0 <6.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Module "babel-preset-node" was resolved but "babel-preset-node" doesn't export a Babel preset.

Using an older version that exports plugins instead of a preset.

fix

Upgrade to version 5.x and use presets array: { presets: ['babel-preset-node'] }.

Cannot find module 'bluebird'

Missing peer dependency bluebird.

fix

Install bluebird: npm install --save bluebird.
