library0.3.1jsnpmunverified

es6-module-transpiler is an experimental compiler that allows writing JavaScript using a subset of the current ES6 module syntax, compiling it into AMD or CommonJS modules. Version 0.3.1 is the latest stable release. It provides a way to experiment with ES6 module syntax in real-world scenarios. Key differentiators: closely tracks TC39 module proposals, supports both AMD and CommonJS output, and provides a command-line interface. Note: This project is experimental and may not follow semver; syntax may change.

Code

Verified usage

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

Compiler

✓ var Compiler = require('es6-module-transpiler').Compiler;

✗ import { Compiler } from 'es6-module-transpiler';

Require pattern for CommonJS Node environment.

Container

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

Additionally exported; not commonly used.

Compiler class

✓ var compiler = new Compiler(string, name, options);

✗ var compiler = new Compiler(string);

Second argument (name) is optional but recommended; options is optional.

Shows both CLI usage and library usage to compile ES6 module syntax to AMD.

// Install globally (use git URL as npm package not published) // $ npm install -g https://git.squareup.com/javascript/es6-module-transpiler // Create an ES6 module file (example.js): // export var foo = 'bar'; // Compile to AMD: // $ compile-modules example.js --to dist --type amd // Or use as library: var Compiler = require('es6-module-transpiler').Compiler; var code = 'export var foo = "bar";'; var compiler = new Compiler(code, 'example'); var amdOutput = compiler.toAMD(); console.log(amdOutput); // Outputs: define('example', [], function() { ... });

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is not actively maintained and the ES6 module spec has changed significantly since its creation.

fix

Use a more up-to-date transpiler like Babel or TypeScript.

affects: >=0

breakingSyntax may not match finalized ES6 modules; expect incompatibilities.

fix

Refer to current ES module spec or use modern tools.

affects: >=0

gotchaWhen using 'globals' type, you must provide --imports mapping for all imported modules.

fix

Supply --imports like '--imports ember:Ember' or equivalent options hash.

affects: >=0

gotchaThe '--module-name' option cannot be used with multiple input files.

fix

Either use single file or omit --module-name.

affects: >=0

gotchaThe package is hosted on a private GitHub URL; not available via npm registry.

fix

Install directly from git: npm install -g <git-url>

affects: >=0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

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

Package not published to npm; must use git URL.

fix

Install from git: npm install -g https://git.squareup.com/javascript/es6-module-transpiler

compile-modules command not found

Global install failed or not in PATH.

fix

Ensure global npm modules path is in PATH, or use npx.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Using ES6 module syntax in a non-transpiled environment.

fix

Run the code through the transpiler first, or use a runtime that supports ES modules.
