es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter

library0.3.0jsnpmunverified

An output formatter plugin for es6-module-transpiler that compiles ES6 module syntax into AMD define() format supported by RequireJS. Version 0.3.0 is the latest stable release; the project is in maintenance mode with no active development. It converts subsets of ES6 module syntax (import/export) into AMD-compatible code, supporting default exports, named exports, and re-exports. Unlike other transpilers like Babel, this plugin is tightly coupled to the now-deprecated es6-module-transpiler ecosystem and requires esprima for parsing. It compromises on ES6 features like live bindings and sealed objects to enable AMD compatibility. Requires Node.js and the es6-module-transpiler package at version 0.10.x.

Code

Verified usage

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

AMDFormatter

✓ var AMDFormatter = require('es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter');

✗ import AMDFormatter from 'es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter';

ES6 import syntax may not work if the package is not set up for ESM; use CommonJS require.

Formatter as plugin for CLI

✓ compile-modules convert -f es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter input.js -o output.js

✗ compile-modules convert -f AMD input.js -o output.js

The -f flag expects the module name, not a format name. Must install both packages globally or locally.

Container usage

✓ var Container = require('es6-module-transpiler').Container; var formatter = new (require('es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter'))();

✗ var formatter = require('es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter').default;

No default export; use new on the required constructor directly.

Shows how to use the AMD formatter with the es6-module-transpiler Container API to compile ES6 modules from 'lib/' into an AMD define() output file.

// Install dependencies // npm install es6-module-transpiler es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter var transpiler = require('es6-module-transpiler'); var AMDFormatter = require('es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter'); var Container = transpiler.Container; var FileResolver = transpiler.FileResolver; var container = new Container({ resolvers: [new FileResolver(['lib/'])], formatter: new AMDFormatter() }); container.getModule('index'); container.write('out/mylib.js');

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedes6-module-transpiler is no longer maintained. The AMD formatter only works with es6-module-transpiler and will not receive updates.

fix

Migrate to a modern transpiler like Babel with @babel/plugin-transform-modules-amd.

affects: >=0.0.1

breakingVersion 0.3.0 requires es6-module-transpiler 0.10.x. Using an older version of the transpiler will cause errors.

fix

Ensure es6-module-transpiler is at version ^0.10.0.

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchaThe AMD formatter does not support live bindings or sealed objects as per ES6 specification. Exports are snapshots.

fix

Avoid relying on live bindings; treat exports as static values.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe formatter cannot be used standalone; it must be passed as an option to es6-module-transpiler Container or CLI.

fix

Always install and import es6-module-transpiler along with this formatter.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter'

The package is not installed or not in the Node module resolution path.

fix

Run `npm install es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter` in your project directory.

TypeError: formatter is not a constructor

Using the formatter module incorrectly (e.g., calling it as a function instead of using `new`).

fix

Use `new (require('es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter'))()` to instantiate the formatter.

Error: Unknown formatter 'es6-module-transpiler-amd-formatter'

The CLI -f flag expects the formatter module name, but the module cannot be loaded (likely not installed).

fix

Install the package globally or locally, and ensure the module name is correct.
