ui5-task-babel-compile

library1.0.6jsnpmunverified

A custom UI5 Tooling task extension that converts JavaScript code to support older browsers using Babel and regenerator-runtime. Version 1.0.6 is stable with no recent updates. It integrates seamlessly into UI5 build pipelines, offering an alternative to manual transpilation setups. Key differentiator: it operates as a UI5 builder extension task, hooking into the build process after the replaceVersion task. Designed for OpenUI5 and SAPUI5 applications targeting legacy browser support. Note: it requires additional Babel configuration (e.g., presets) to function properly.

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedBabel 6 is outdated; considered deprecated in 2023.

fix

Use Babel 7 with @babel/core and @babel/preset-env; adjust configuration accordingly.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe task requires both babel-core and regenerator-runtime as direct dependencies in the project, not just this package.

fix

Install babel-core and regenerator-runtime explicitly.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe task expects a Babel configuration; if missing, it may fail silently or not transpile anything.

fix

Provide a valid babelConfig in ui5.yaml or a .babelrc file in the project root.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedregenerator-runtime is deprecated in favor of @babel/plugin-transform-runtime with @babel/runtime.

fix

Use @babel/plugin-transform-runtime and @babel/runtime instead of regenerator-runtime.

affects: >=1.0.0
