transquire

0.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A require replacement and hook to automatically transpiler module source at runtime. Current stable version 0.0.1. This package provides a mechanism to automatically transpile ES6 or other source code during require() calls by replacing or hooking Node.js's module loading. It is designed for development or sandboxed environments where pre-compilation is not desired. Differentiates from Babel/register by being a more generic hook for transpilers. No active development since 2015.

Quickstart

Shows how to replace require with a transpiling version using transquire.

// Install: npm install transquire
// Then in your code (ESM or CJS):
import transquire from 'transquire';
// Replace require with transpiling version
const originalRequire = require;
require = transquire(require, {
  // transpiler options
  // e.g., for ES6
  extensions: ['.es6', '.js'],
  transform: (code, filename) => {
    // use babel or other transpiler
    return code;
  }
});
// Now require will handle transpilation
const module = require('./some.es6');
