gulp-babel-2 v6.1.2

gulp-babel

Use next generation JavaScript, today, with Babel

Issues with the output should be reported on the Babel issue tracker.

Install

$ npm install --save-dev gulp-babel babel-preset-es2015

Usage

const gulp = require('gulp');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');

gulp.task('default', () => {
	return gulp.src('src/app.js')
		.pipe(babel({
			presets: ['es2015']
		}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

API

babel(options)

options

See the Babel options, except for sourceMap and filename which is handled for you.

Source Maps

Use gulp-sourcemaps like this:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');
const concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('default', () => {
	return gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
		.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
		.pipe(babel({
			presets: ['es2015']
		}))
		.pipe(concat('all.js'))
		.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Babel Metadata

Files in the stream are annotated with a babel property, which contains the metadata from babel.transform().

Example

const gulp = require('gulp');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');
const through = require('through2');

function logFileHelpers() {
	return through.obj((file, enc, cb) => {
		console.log(file.babel.usedHelpers);
		cb(null, file);
	});
}

gulp.task('default', () => {
	return gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
		.pipe(babel({
			presets: ['es2015']
		}))
		.pipe(logFileHelpers());
})

Runtime

If you're attempting to use features such as generators, you'll need to add transform-runtime as a plugin, to include the Babel runtime. Otherwise, you'll receive the error: regeneratorRuntime is not defined.

Install the runtime:

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-runtime

Use it as plugin:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');

gulp.task('default', () => {
	return gulp.src('src/app.js')
		.pipe(babel({
			plugins: ['transform-runtime']
		}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
