library6.0.0jsnpmunverified

import-sort-parser-babylon is a specialized parser plugin designed for the `import-sort` ecosystem, enabling the sorting of ECMAScript (ES2015+) imports in JavaScript and TypeScript files. Currently at version 6.0.0, this package integrates with the primary `import-sort` library, which is generally used in conjunction with `import-sort-config` and a chosen sorting style (e.g., `import-sort-style-eslint`). It leverages the capabilities of the Babel parser (formerly known as Babylon) to analyze and manipulate import declarations, offering robust support for modern JavaScript syntax, JSX, and TypeScript features. The `import-sort` project, of which this parser is a component, appears to maintain an active development cadence, providing tools for CLI usage, editor integrations, and programmatic sorting. Its key differentiator lies in its use of the battle-tested Babel parsing engine, ensuring broad compatibility with various language features and proposals.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import babylonParser from 'import-sort-parser-babylon';

✗ const babylonParser = require('import-sort-parser-babylon');

The primary export is typically a default parser configuration or function, consumed by the 'import-sort' core. While modern configurations prefer ESM, CommonJS `require` might still function in older Node.js environments if the package provides dual exports.

ImportSortParser

✓ import type { ImportSortParser } from 'import-sort-parser-babylon';

This package ships TypeScript types. The type definition for the parser interface is useful for custom integrations or understanding the expected structure.

This configuration snippet for `.importsortrc` or `package.json` demonstrates how to instruct `import-sort` to use the `babylon` parser for various file types and configure Babel parser options for modern syntax support.

{ "importSort": { "language": "javascript", ".js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx": { "parser": "babylon", "style": "eslint", "options": { "parserOptions": { "ecmaVersion": "latest", "sourceType": "module", "plugins": [ "jsx", "typescript", "classProperties", "decorators-legacy", "dynamicImport" ] } } } } }

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe underlying parser 'babylon' was renamed to '@babel/parser'. While 'import-sort-parser-babylon' might abstract this, direct usage or advanced configuration might require referencing '@babel/parser' features or plugins.

fix

Ensure your Babel configuration (if separate) is updated to use `@babel/parser`. If passing `parserOptions` directly to `import-sort`, ensure plugin names align with `@babel/parser`'s expected values. Review `prettier-plugin-sort-imports` migration guides for common parser option changes.

affects: >=5.0.0

gotchaIncorrect or missing Babel parser plugins in your `import-sort` configuration can lead to parsing errors for modern JavaScript or TypeScript syntax (e.g., decorators, class properties).

fix

Always explicitly define necessary Babel plugins within the `parserOptions.plugins` array in your `.importsortrc` or `package.json` configuration, matching the features used in your codebase. Refer to `@babel/parser` documentation for available plugins.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaConflicting import sorting rules from other tools like ESLint (`sort-imports`) or Prettier plugins can lead to formatting churn or unexpected behavior.

fix

Disable or remove competing import sorting rules in ESLint or Prettier when `import-sort` is active, allowing `import-sort` to be the single source of truth for import ordering.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaWhen using `import-sort` within a broader toolchain (e.g., with Prettier v3.x or pnpm), ensure compatibility and correct plugin resolution, as some users have reported issues with specific package managers or tool versions.

fix

Verify `import-sort` and its parsers are correctly installed and resolvable by your toolchain. Check for any specific setup instructions or known issues related to your package manager (like pnpm) or other formatting tools in the `import-sort` or `prettier-plugin-sort-imports` repositories.

affects: >=6.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

SyntaxError: Unexpected token (X:Y)

The Babel parser used by `import-sort-parser-babylon` did not recognize a specific language feature (e.g., new syntax, TypeScript, JSX) because the corresponding plugin was not enabled in the configuration.

fix

Add the required Babel parser plugin (e.g., `jsx`, `typescript`, `decorators-legacy`) to the `parserOptions.plugins` array in your `importSort` configuration within `package.json` or `.importsortrc`.

parser.parseImports is not a function

The `import-sort` core or integration could not find or correctly load the parser function from `import-sort-parser-babylon`, possibly due to incorrect module resolution or a corrupted installation.

fix

Ensure `import-sort-parser-babylon` is correctly installed and listed in your project dependencies. Verify your `importSort` configuration specifies `'babylon'` as the parser name, and restart any IDE extensions or CLI processes to reload the configuration.

Configuration error: Unknown parser 'babylon'

The `import-sort` tool itself (or its CLI/IDE integration) failed to locate the `import-sort-parser-babylon` package, often due to an incorrect package name in the configuration or an incomplete installation.

fix

Double-check that `import-sort-parser-babylon` is installed in your project and that your `importSort` configuration correctly specifies `parser: 'babylon'` (or similar, depending on the exact `import-sort` configuration structure).
