babel-merge
merges multiple Babel configuration objects into a single copy.
Plugin and preset objects and arrays will be merged together.
Note: options to plugins and presets will not be merged, but instead replaced by the last matching item's options. This makes the behavior consistent with how Babel works.
babel-merge
can be installed via the Yarn or npm clients.
❯ yarn add babel-merge
❯ npm install --save babel-merge
Where a
, b
, z
are Babel configuration objects and options
is a deepmerge options object.
const merge = require('babel-merge');
const together = merge(
{
presets: [
['@babel/preset-env', {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Chrome']
}
}]
]
},
{
presets: [
['@babel/preset-env', {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Firefox']
}
}]
]
}
)
console.log(together);
{
presets: [
['@babel/preset-env', {
targets: {
browsers: [
'latest 1 Firefox'
]
}
}]
]
}
If a pathname was used in an earlier merge, you can still merge by exact name:
const merge = require('babel-merge');
const together = merge(
{
presets: [
[require.resolve('@babel/preset-env'), {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Chrome']
}
}]
]
},
{
presets: [
['@babel/preset-env', {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Firefox']
}
}]
]
}
)
console.log(together);
{
presets: [
['/Users/me/code/app/node_modules/@babel/preset-env/lib/index.js', {
targets: {
browsers: [
'latest 1 Firefox'
]
}
}]
]
}
Even works for plugins and presets within environments:
const merge = require('babel-merge');
const together = merge(
{
env: {
development: {
presets: [
[require.resolve('@babel/preset-env'), {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Chrome']
}
}]
]
}
}
},
{
env: {
development: {
presets: [
['@babel/preset-env', {
targets: {
browsers: ['latest 1 Firefox']
}
}]
]
}
}
}
)
console.log(together);
{
env: {
development: {
presets: [
['/Users/me/code/app/node_modules/@babel/preset-env/lib/index.js', {
targets: {
browsers: [
'latest 1 Firefox'
]
}
}]
]
}
}
}
Order is preserved between non-option plugins and presets and ones with options:
const merge = require('babel-merge');
const together = merge(
{
plugins: [
'module:fast-async',
'@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import'
]
},
{
plugins: [
'@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread',
['module:fast-async', { spec: true }],
'@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties'
]
}
)
console.log(together);
{
plugins: [
['module:fast-async', { spec: true }],
'@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import',
'@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread',
'@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties'
]
}
