@node-loader/babel

A nodejs loader for babel. This allows you to compile all files with babel before they are executed in Node.

This project is similar to @babel/node, except that it works with ES modules.

Installation

``sh
npm install --save @node-loader/babel

Or, if you prefer Yarn


yarn add --save @node-loader/babel
`

If using Node<16.12, use @node-loader/babel@1. Otherwise, use @node-loader/babel@latest

Usage

Run node with the --experimental-loader flag:

`sh
node --experimental-loader @node-loader/babel file.js
`

Configuration

Babel configuration files are loaded and applied per the normal rules.

Composition

If you wish to combine the babel loader with other NodeJS loaders, you may do so by using node-loader-core.

CommonJS Modules

Right now, node-loader-babel skips compilation of CommonJS modules since NodeJS' default implementation of load()` returns no source code for commonjs modules. See https://github.com/node-loader/node-loader-babel/pull/10 for more details.
