babel-register-ts

7.0.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript deprecated

A temporary wrapper around @babel/register that adds support for .ts and .tsx file extensions for use with Babel's TypeScript plugin. Version 7.0.0 requires @babel/core and @babel/register as peer dependencies. This package is a minimal shim intended as a stopgap until native .ts registration support lands in Babel. It is neither actively maintained nor recommended for new projects; use @babel/register with a .babelrc that includes @babel/preset-typescript instead.

Imports

default
wrong
```
const register = require('babel-register-ts')
```
correct
```
import 'babel-register-ts'
```
Module is a side-effect import; it registers .ts/.tsx extensions.
register
wrong
```
import { register } from 'babel-register-ts'
```
correct
```
const register = require('babel-register-ts')
```
CommonJS require returns a function; named import is incorrect. The default export is the register function in ESM.

Quickstart

Shows required setup: @babel/register first (with extensions), then side-effect import of babel-register-ts.

require('@babel/register')({ extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.js', '.jsx'] });
require('babel-register-ts');
const example = require('./example.ts');
console.log(example);
