✨ Glowup Vibes ✨

The most goated Babel plugin

This plugin was high key inspired by an Instagram reel by @justin.makes.things: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cwn5KYtIWDm/

I was shook. I thought it hit different so I said "bet" and started flexin on em. IYKYK fam.

Here's my stitch on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxvwz76vBus/

What does it do?

It transpiles internet slang into valid JavaScript.

This was a fun project to increase my AST rizz. I'm a Babel simp now 👉👈

How to use it

• Install npm install babel-plugin-glowup-vibes --save
• Set up babel and add babel-plugin-glowup-vibes to your list of plugins
• Highkey start flexing. Use the options outlined in Options. Running your build command should be a major W. Look for big JavaScript vibes wherever you set the output to go (in our example below, it'll be in lib/compiled.js)

In case you need more detailed instructions than that:

To set up babel, create a babel.config.json file and add the following to it:

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "@babel/preset-env",
      {
        "targets": {
          "edge": "17",
          "firefox": "60",
          "chrome": "67",
          "safari": "11.1"
        },
        "useBuiltIns": "usage",
        "corejs": "3.6.5"
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-glowup-vibes"]
}

Add something like this to your package.json file:

"scripts": {
    "build": "babel ./src/script.js --out-file ./lib/compiled.js"
},

Note: this was designed using Babel 7 and I haven't tested it on anything else. I super don't guarantee that this is totally flawless.

Contributing

I welcome PRs if you can think of ways to make this even more bussin.

Your PR will be merged faster if you do these things:

• Update the table in the README
• Provide an example in example.js
• Test your work by running npm run build and checking compiled.js to see whether it worked how you thought
• Format your code by running npm run test
• Bonus points if you write tests

If you want to contribute, but you don't know where to start, that's great! Watch this YouTube video to learn more about Babel plugins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK6n0pYcOe8

AST explorer is also a great tool to learn about ASTs and test some of your ideas. https://astexplorer.net/

Does this exist in (insert coding language)?

There is a C++ version! https://twitter.com/lauriewired/status/1684329735399313409

@renancaraujo created a Dart version: https://pub.dev/packages/glowup_vibes

@chelseas created a Julia version: https://github.com/chelseas/GlowupVibes.jl

Other than that, the answer is probably no. But you should make one!!

Honorable mention: Thy Script, the 1500s version https://github.com/dlustre/babel-plugin-thy-script
