es6-shorthands

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A tiny transpiler (v0.0.2) that converts ES6 shorthand method syntax in object literals (e.g., `{a, b() {}}`) to ES5 equivalents (`{a: a, b: function b() {}}`). It is a simple, single-purpose tool that performs a string-based transformation, not a full-featured compiler like Babel. Published as a proof-of-concept, it has not seen updates since initial release and is in maintenance mode. Useful only for legacy build pipelines that need a minimal ES6 shorthand transformation without a larger toolchain. Not suitable for production use.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

Code

Verified usage

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

default export (function)

✓ import shorthand from 'es6-shorthands'

✗ const { shorthand } = require('es6-shorthands')

The package exports a single function. CommonJS users should use `const shorthand = require('es6-shorthands').default` for ESM compatibility, but the module itself is CJS.

TypeScript type import

✓ import type { ShorthandOptions } from 'es6-shorthands'

✗ import { type ShorthandOptions } from 'es6-shorthands'

TypeScript type import syntax (verb before type) is incorrect; use `import type`.

require in ESM context

✓ import shorthand from 'es6-shorthands'

✗ const shorthand = require('es6-shorthands')

In ESM modules, `require` is not available; use `import`.

Demonstrates transforming ES6 shorthand method syntax to ES5 compatible code using the default export function.

import shorthand from 'es6-shorthands'; const source = `const obj = { a, b() { return 5; } };`; const result = shorthand(source); console.log(result); // Output: const obj = { a: a, b: function b() { return 5; } };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaString replacement may incorrectly transform strings containing shorthand-like patterns (e.g., JSON or template literals).

fix

Use a proper parser-based tool like Babel for production code.

affects: 0.0.x

deprecatedPackage is effectively unmaintained; last version 0.0.2 from 2015-08-20.

fix

Migrate to Babel or TypeScript for ES6+ transpilation.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

shorthand is not a function

Importing as `{ shorthand }` instead of default import.

fix

Use `import shorthand from 'es6-shorthands'` or `const shorthand = require('es6-shorthands').default`.

Cannot find module 'es6-shorthands'

Package not installed or not resolved correctly.

fix

Run `npm install es6-shorthands --save-dev` and ensure it's in `node_modules`.
