Zova Bean Use Babel Plugin

1.1.8 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A Babel plugin (v1.1.8) specific to the Zova framework that transforms bean usage in JavaScript/TypeScript projects. It enables the '@beanUse' decorator pattern to inject dependencies or services. This plugin targets a niche Zova ecosystem and has low release cadence. It is not suitable outside Zova. Other IOC or DI Babel plugins like babel-plugin-transform-decorators may serve broader needs.

Quickstart

Shows how to add the plugin to Babel config for transforming the @beanUse decorator in classes.

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    ['@babel/preset-env', { targets: { node: 'current' } }],
  ],
  plugins: ['babel-plugin-zova-bean-use']
};

// Then in your code:
class MyClass {
  @beanUse MyService;
  // ...
}
