babel-plugin-meteor-typescript-import-transform v1.0.4

meteor-typescript-import-transform

Intro

This plugin addresses TypeScript import issues in Meteor projects when switching from legacy (barbatus:typescript based) packages to the official typescript package.

The plugin is inspired by an implementation from Ben Newman.

The addressed issues

Paths without leading slash (e.g. imports/bar) is not recognized as valid import paths

The plugin adds a leading slash to these paths (e.g. /imports/bar).

Paths mapping in tsconfig.json is not recognized

The plugin automatically parses tsconfig.json and resolve paths mapping.

import 'imports/module/main' may not work as expected

When an import path doesn't specify file extension, the wrong file might be picked if there're other files having the same name in the directory. For example:

imports/module/main.ts
imports/module/main.html

The plugin generates a list of all .ts and .tsx files and attempts to load them when a matching import path without extension is detected.

Usage

Install the package:

npm i babel-plugin-meteor-typescript-import-transform

Then include the plugin in your .babelrc:

{
  "plugins": ["meteor-typescript-import-transform"]
}
