UI5 task for transpiling ES6+ sources

Task for ui5-builder, enabling transpiling.

⚠️ The ui5-task-transpile has been deprecated and replaced with the ui5-tooling-transpile-task. Please check out the tooling extensions from ui5-tooling-transpile.

Install

npm install ui5-task-transpile --save-dev

Configuration options (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)

• debug: true|false
  verbose logging

• removeConsoleStatements: true|false
  remove console statements while transpiling using Babel plugin

• excludePatterns: String
  array of paths inside $yourapp/webapp/ to exclude from live transpilation,
  e.g. 3-rd party libs in lib/*

• transpileAsync: true|false
  transpiling async/await using this Babel plugin, which doesn't require
  the regenerator runtime (Issue #242)

• babelConfig: Object object to use as configuration for babel instead of the
  default configuration defined in this middleware

Usage

1. Define the dependency in $yourapp/package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    // ...
    "ui5-task-transpile": "*"
    // ...
},
"ui5": {
  "dependencies": [
    // ...
    "ui5-task-transpile",
    // ...
  ]
}

> As the devDependencies are not recognized by the UI5 tooling, they need to be listed in the ui5 > dependencies array. In addition, once using the ui5 > dependencies array you need to list all UI5 tooling relevant dependencies.

2. configure it in $yourapp/ui5.yaml:

builder:
  customTasks:
  - name: ui5-task-transpile
    afterTask: replaceVersion
    configuration:
      debug: true
      removeConsoleStatements: true
      transpileAsync: true
      excludePatterns:
      - "lib/"
      - "another/dir/in/webapp"
      - "yet/another/dir"

How it works

The task can be used to transpile ES6+ JavaScript code to ES5 by using babel.

Extending the default configuration (in $yourapp/babel.config.json)

If you want to further customize the transpiling options you can do so by creating a babel config file babel.config.json in your project directory. Babel will automatically pick up the configuration and apply it. The default configuration from this task will still be applied.

Example

An example configuration is as follows:

{
  "plugins": [
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-for-of", { "assumeArray": true }],
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties", { "loose": true }],
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-destructuring", { "loose": true }]
  ]
}

Additional dependencies

If you need dependencies not included in this task you have to install them in your project in order to be able to use them.

Override babel configuration (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)

You can override the default babel configuration from this package by including an object babelConfig in this task's configuration. If such an object is given the default configuration from this task will not be considered, but only the configuration given in ui5.yaml will be used.

Example

builder:
  customTasks:
    - name: ui5-task-transpile
      afterTask: replaceVersion
      configuration:
        excludePatterns:
          - "lib/"
        babelConfig: &babelConfig
          plugins:
            - - "@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties"
              - loose: true
            - - "@babel/plugin-transform-for-of"
              - assumeArray: true
          presets:
            - - "@babel/preset-env"
              - targets:
                  browsers: "last 2 versions, ie 10-11"

> Hint: if you also use use ui5-middleware-livetranspile you probably do not want to duplicate the babel configuration in your ui5.yaml. Use YAML anchors in order to reference the babel configuration across the ui5.yaml file. > In the example above the anchor &babelConfig defines the babel configuration of ui5-task-transpile and may be re-used in other parts of ui5.yaml by using the alias *babelConfig: > > yaml > server: > customMiddleware: > - name: ui5-middleware-livetranspile > afterMiddleware: compression > configuration: > babelConfig: > <<: *babelConfig > sourceMaps: "inline" >
