Background

AMD was very popular and used in many big applications worldwide. ES Module standard was created much later and with the rise of various bundlers and transpilers it became possible to write modern code with more concise syntax. This tool was created to fill the migration gap, as other tools were not handling some of the edge cases. It should handle most of existing code out of the box.

This tool exposes both a cli and a programmatic interface.

Install

npm install -g @buxlabs/amd-to-es6

Usage

$3

Convert a single file with:

amdtoes6 app.js > app-es6.js

Convert multiple files in given dir with:

amdtoes6 --src=src --dest=build

Convert multiple files in given dir recursively with:

amdtoes6 --src=src --dest=build --glob=*/.js

Convert multiple files and replace them with:

amdtoes6 --src=src --replace

$3

``sh

Usage: amdtoes6 [options]

Options:

-s, --src Directory of the source files
-d, --dest Directory of the destination files
-g, --glob [glob] Glob pattern for the src to match for input files
-r, --recursive Set glob pattern to */.js with no hassle
-b, --beautify Beautify the output
--replace Replace the input files with results
--suffix Replace suffix of the files
--quotes Single, double or auto quotes in the output

`

$3

Convert a single file with:

`javascript
const amdtoes6 = require('@buxlabs/amd-to-es6');
const source = 'define({ hello: 'world' });';
const result = amdtoes6(source); // export default { hello: 'world' };
`

Examples

AMD

`javascript
define([
'core/view',
'subapp/hello/template/layout'
], function (View, template) {
'use strict';

return View.extend({

import View from 'core/view';
import template from 'subapp/hello/template/layout';

export default View.extend({
template: template
});
`

AMD

`javascript
define(function (require) {
'use strict';

var Marionette = require('marionette');

return Marionette.Object.extend({
initialize: function () {
console.log('hello world');
}
});
});
`

ES

`javascript
import Marionette from 'marionette';

export default Marionette.Object.extend({
initialize: function () {
console.log('hello world');
}
});
``
