es6-module-transpiler-loader

0.1.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A webpack loader that transpiles ES6 modules to AMD, CommonJS, or other formats using the es6-module-transpiler. This package is version 0.1.0 and appears to be an early, unmaintained experiment. Unlike more modern tools like Babel or TypeScript, it relies on a transpiler that never gained widespread adoption. There is no README, no recent updates, and limited community support. It is functionally obsolete and should not be used in new projects.

Install

npm install es6-module-transpiler-loader

yarn add es6-module-transpiler-loader

pnpm add es6-module-transpiler-loader

Imports

default

wrong

const TranspilerLoader = require('es6-module-transpiler-loader')

correct

import TranspilerLoader from 'es6-module-transpiler-loader'

CommonJS require is unsupported; the package only provides an ES6 module default export.

TranspilerLoader

wrong

const { TranspilerLoader } = require('es6-module-transpiler-loader')

correct

const TranspilerLoader = require('es6-module-transpiler-loader').default

Named exports not available; use .default property in CommonJS.

TypeScript type

wrong

import { LoaderDefinition } from 'es6-module-transpiler-loader'

correct

import type { LoaderDefinition } from 'es6-module-transpiler-loader'

No TypeScript types shipped; this is hypothetical if types existed.

Quickstart

Configures webpack to transpile ES6 modules to CommonJS using the es6-module-transpiler-loader.

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        loader: 'es6-module-transpiler-loader',
        options: {
          format: 'cjs' // or 'amd', 'umd', 'yui'
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
