vinyl-tf-babel

library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

A Vinyl Transformer for Babel that integrates Babel compilation into vinyl-fs pipelines or Gulp. Version 0.1.0 is the latest stable release. It requires babel-core as a peer dependency and supports both ES modules and CommonJS. Differentiators include a class-based transformer (`BabelTransformer`) and a convenience function (`transform`) for Gulp, aligning with vinyl transformer standards.

Verified usage

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

BabelTransformer

✓ import { BabelTransformer } from 'vinyl-tf-babel'

✗ const BabelTransformer = require('vinyl-tf-babel').BabelTransformer

Supports both ESM and CJS; named export.

transform

✓ import { transform } from 'vinyl-tf-babel'

✗ const transform = require('vinyl-tf-babel').transform

Named export, often used as a Gulp plugin function.

default import

✓ import vinylTfBabel from 'vinyl-tf-babel'

✗ const vinylTfBabel = require('vinyl-tf-babel')

Default export is the transform function (an alias for `transform`); is the same as `import { transform as babel }`.

Shows using the transform function with Gulp to compile JavaScript with Babel presets.

import gulp from 'gulp'; import { transform as babel } from 'vinyl-tf-babel'; gulp.task('babel', () => { return gulp.src('src/**/*.js') .pipe(babel({ presets: ['@babel/preset-env'] })) .pipe(gulp.dest('dist')); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchababel-core must be installed separately; calling without it will throw 'Cannot find module babel-core'.

fix

Install babel-core as a dependency: npm install babel-core

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedbabel-core is deprecated in favor of @babel/core. This transformer may not work with @babel/core directly.

fix

Use vinyl-tf-babel with babel-core 6.x or switch to a transformer like gulp-babel.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaOptions passed to BabelTransformer or transform are forwarded directly to Babel; invalid options may cause silent failures.

fix

Consult Babel options documentation and validate configuration.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThis package is a Vinyl Transformer; it expects Vinyl objects in the stream. Using with non-Vinyl streams may cause errors.

fix

Ensure the stream provides Vinyl file objects (e.g., from gulp.src or vinyl-fs src).

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-core'

babel-core is not installed: it's a peer dependency not bundled with vinyl-tf-babel.

fix

npm install babel-core

TypeError: transformer is not a function

Using default import incorrectly or forgetting to call new BabelTransformer.

fix

Use `new BabelTransformer()` or `transform()` accordingly.
