babel-preset-vite

library1.1.3jsnpmunverified

A Babel preset that emulates Vite's non-standard functionality in non-Vite environments, primarily for testing with Node.js-based runners. Version 1.1.3 (stable) includes three plugins: babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-env (import.meta.env), babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-glob (import.meta.glob), and babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-hot (import.meta.hot). Each plugin can be individually disabled via preset options. The preset ships TypeScript types and follows a monthly release cadence with bug fixes. Key differentiator: allows code using Vite-specific features to run in Jest or other Node.js test runners without modification.

Verified usage

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

default

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

✗ import preset from 'babel-preset-vite'

Preset is CommonJS-only; no default ESM export.

babel-preset-vite

✓ { "presets": ["babel-preset-vite"] }

✗ { "presets": ["babel-preset-vite", {}] }

Options object is the second element of a tuple, not standalone.

env option

✓ { "presets": [["babel-preset-vite", { "env": false }]] }

✗ { "presets": ["babel-preset-vite", { "env": false }] }

Options must be inside an array element: ["preset-name", options].

Shows installation, configuration with options, and example Vite features transformed by the preset.

// Install npm install --save-dev babel-preset-vite // Configure (babel.config.js) module.exports = { presets: [ ['babel-preset-vite', { env: true, glob: true, hot: true }] ] }; // Example code that uses Vite features const env = import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL; const modules = import.meta.glob('./modules/*.js'); // After Babel transformation, above will be replaced with actual values or stubs.

Known issues

gotchaPreset is intended for testing only; should not be relied upon in production.

fix

Only use in development/test environments.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingv1.1.0 introduced import.meta.hot support. Older versions (<=1.0.4) do not transform import.meta.hot.

fix

Upgrade to >=1.1.0 if you need HMR stubs.

affects: <=1.0.4

deprecatedimport.meta.globEager is deprecated in Vite 5; use import.meta.glob with { eager: true } instead.

fix

Switch to import.meta.glob('./*.js', { eager: true }).

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaWindows path separator backslash may be replaced with forward slash (fixed in 1.1.2).

fix

Upgrade to >=1.1.2.

affects: <1.1.2

gotchaUnknown import.meta.env keys are replaced with the full env object instead of undefined (fixed in 1.0.3).

fix

Upgrade to >=1.0.3.

affects: <1.0.3

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: Cannot read property 'env' of undefined

Preset options not wrapped in an array tuple.

fix

Use [["babel-preset-vite", { "env": true }]] instead of ["babel-preset-vite", { "env": true }].

Module not found: Can't resolve 'babel-plugin-transform-vite-meta-env'

Missing dependency; npm did not install all plugins.

fix

Run npm install to ensure all dependencies are installed.

Error: Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions.

Using ES module import with a CJS-only preset.

fix

Use require() or set type: 'commonjs' in babel.config.

ReferenceError: import.meta is not defined

Preset is not applied; Babel is not configured correctly.

fix

Add 'babel-preset-vite' to presets in babel.config.js or .babelrc.
