babel-plugin-transform-commonjs

A Babel 7 plugin that transforms CommonJS modules (require, module.exports, exports) into ES modules (import/export). Version 1.1.6 is the latest stable release. It aims to produce spec-compliant ESM code and throws on unsupported patterns like non-static require or require.extensions. It offers escape hatches (synchronousImport, exportsOnly) for controlled conversion. Unlike @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs (which targets the opposite direction), this plugin converts CJS to ESM and is mainly used for building ESM-compatible bundles or migration.
