babel-config-installer.js v2.1.3

babel-config-installer.js

Stop typing yarn install @babel.... Leverage the most recent babel.config.js that you've already authored on a separate project. Absurdly convenient convenience method. node babel-config-installer.js

Usage, Happy Path

node babel-config-installer.js

Using babel-config-installer.js, yarn

Change to project directory.

yarn add babel-config-installer.js
node node_modules/babel-config-installer.js/babel-config-installer.js

Using Existing babel-config-installer.js, yarn

Change directory to the local working directory for this project. Then:

yarn link

Now change directory, cd, to your project that needs to use the local babel-config-installer.js install and run:

	yarn link babel-config-installer.js

Using with Non Traditional babel.config.js locations

The below examples are equivalent. babel-config-installer.js will install plugins and presets listed in test-data/babel.config.js even if you omit the config filename. Convenient!

	node babel-config-installer.js  test-data

	node babel-config-installer.js  .././test-data

	node babel-config-installer.js  test-data/babel.config.js

cd test-data
node ../babel-config-installer.js

Usage: Use by Copying Example

1. Copy your babel.config.js into project root directory
2. Copy babel-config-installer.js into project root
3. Execute babel-config-installer.js

	node babel-config-installer.js

This script will install all position index 0 of all packages listed, in Array, under both presets and plugins from babel.config.js. See test-data/babel.config.js
