requirejs-babel

library0.0.9jsnpmunverified

An AMD loader plugin for RequireJS that transpiles ES6/ES2015 modules via Babel at build or runtime. Currently at version 0.0.9, this package bundles an outdated Babel 5.8.22 and has been unmaintained since 2015. It is superseded by native ES6 support in modern browsers and tools like Webpack/Rollup with Babel presets. Key differentiator: easy integration with legacy RequireJS projects needing ES6 module loading.

Verified usage

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

es6! plugin

✓ define(['es6!path/to/module'], function(mod) { ... })

✗ require(['path/to/module'], ...) without 'es6!' prefix

The 'es6!' prefix is required to trigger transpilation.

babel config via requirejs config

✓ requirejs.config({ paths: { es6: 'path/to/es6', babel: 'path/to/babel-5.8.22.min' } })

✗ import { babel } from 'requirejs-babel'

No JavaScript import; configure paths in RequireJS config.

runtime transpilation

✓ define(['es6!module'], function(m) { ... })

✗ define(['module'], function(m) { ... }) where module is ES6

Without the 'es6!' prefix, the raw ES6 code will be passed to modern browsers that may not support it.

Shows how to configure RequireJS with the babel plugin and load an ES6 module using the 'es6!' prefix.

// index.html <script data-main="main" src="require.js"></script> // main.js requirejs.config({ paths: { es6: 'bower_components/requirejs-babel/es6', babel: 'bower_components/requirejs-babel/babel-5.8.22.min' } }); require(['es6!app'], function(app) { app.run(); }); // app.js (ES6) define(function() { 'use strict'; return { run: () => console.log('ES6 works!') }; });

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedRequireJS Babel is unmaintained. Babel 5 is outdated and incompatible with modern Babel versions (6+).

fix

Migrate to a modern bundler like Webpack or Rollup with @babel/preset-env.

affects: >=0

gotchaThe plugin includes Babel as a single-file minified bundle (babel-5.8.22.min). This is a very old version with limited ES2015 support.

fix

If you must use RequireJS, consider using a newer transpiler like TypeScript or a different plugin.

affects: >=0

gotchaAll modules loaded with 'es6!' are transpiled at runtime, which can slow down initial page load significantly.

fix

Use the RequireJS optimizer (r.js) to pre-transpile modules in production.

affects: >=0

breakingBabel 5 uses 'blacklist' and 'whitelist' options instead of 'presets'. Configuring via modern Babel options will not work.

fix

Set options via requirejs.babel config object with Babel 5 API: { blacklist: ['regenerator'], optional: ['asyncToGenerator'] }.

affects: >=0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Load timeout for modules: es6!app

The 'es6' path in requirejs.config is incorrect or the plugin file is missing.

fix

Ensure paths.es6 points to the directory containing es6.js, and paths.babel points to the babel bundle.

Uncaught Error: Module name 'babel' has not been loaded yet for context: _

The 'babel' dependency path is misconfigured or the bundle is missing.

fix

Check that paths.babel points to the correct babel-5.8.22.min.js file (without .js extension in config).

define is not defined

RequireJS is not loaded before calling define.

fix

Add <script src='require.js' data-main='main'></script> to HTML before any define calls.
