faster-babel-types

library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

faster-babel-types provides a drop-in replacement for @babel/types with optimized runtime performance and TypeScript support. Currently at version 0.1.0, this package is in early active development and is designed for projects that use @babel/types and want faster type checking or creation functions. It maintains the same API surface but aims to improve speed, especially in code paths that extensively use Babel AST types. The main differentiator is performance optimization for Babel plugin authors or tools that process large ASTs. However, it is experimental and not yet stable for production use.

Code

Verified usage

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

✓ import t from 'faster-babel-types'

✗ const t = require('faster-babel-types')

ESM-only; default export provides all types

stringLiteral

✓ import { stringLiteral } from 'faster-babel-types'

✗ import { stringLiteral } from '@babel/types'

Same named export as @babel/types

isStringLiteral

✓ import { isStringLiteral } from 'faster-babel-types'

✗ const { isStringLiteral } = require('faster-babel-types')

ESM-only; also available as t.isStringLiteral

Shows default import (t) and named imports for creating and checking AST nodes.

import t, { stringLiteral, isStringLiteral } from 'faster-babel-types'; const lit = stringLiteral('hello'); console.log(lit.type); // 'StringLiteral' console.log(isStringLiteral(lit)); // true console.log(t.isStringLiteral(lit)); // true

Debug

Known issues

breakingfaster-babel-types is not API compatible with @babel/types for all functions; some optimizations may change behavior in edge cases.

fix

Test thoroughly with your Babel plugin or tooling; consider pinning version to avoid unexpected changes.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNever mix imports from @babel/types and faster-babel-types; use exclusively one to avoid type mismatches or performance regressions.

fix

Replace all imports of @babel/types with faster-babel-types.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaTypeScript types bundled are preliminary and may diverge from @babel/types types; type errors can occur.

fix

Install @babel/types as a dev dependency and use its types if needed; report type issues upstream.

affects: >=0.1.0 <0.2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'faster-babel-types'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

npm install faster-babel-types @babel/types

TypeError: t.stringLiteral is not a function

Used default import t but function is missing; named export casing may differ.

fix

Use named import: import { stringLiteral } from 'faster-babel-types'.

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'faster-babel-types'

Webpack or bundler may not resolve peer dependency correctly; missing @babel/types.

fix

Ensure @babel/types is installed as a direct dependency: npm install @babel/types
