js-to-php-transpiler

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A simple transpiler that converts JavaScript code to PHP. Version 1.0.1 is the current stable release with no clear release cadence. It supports single file and directory transpilation, with an optional watch mode. This tool is explicitly marked as a fun experiment not intended for production use, differentiating it from serious transpilers like Babel or TypeScript compiler. It is primarily a CLI tool with no programmatic API documented, and it does not support most modern JavaScript features.

Known issues

gotchaNot intended for production use. The package is a fun experiment and may produce incorrect or insecure PHP code.

fix

Do not use in production environments. Use established transpilers (e.g., Babel) for serious work.

affects: all

gotchaNo programmatic API is exported. The package can only be used as a CLI tool.

fix

If you need a programmatic API, fork the package or use another transpiler.

affects: all

gotchaOnly basic JavaScript constructs are supported. Advanced ES6+ features (classes, arrow functions, promises, etc.) may not transpile correctly.

fix

Test your JavaScript code thoroughly. Simplify complex constructs or avoid using modern JS features.
