babel-plugin-transform-ui5 for Babel 6

An UNOFFICIAL Babel transform plugin for SAP UI5 modules. It transforms SAP UI5 module imports into sap.ui.define() format, while skips transformation for the other imports. The other imports should be handled by the packaging tool like webpack.

Features

• Class, inheritance and super keyword
• UI5's metadata field
• Static methods and fields

Babel version

Currently this version only supports Babel 6.

Usage with webpack

Suppose that in your project, all the source codes are stored in app folder.

<your-ui5-project>
    ├── <app>
    │   └── <your_module>
    │       └── <sub_folder>
    │           ├── ClassA.js
    │           └── ClassB.js
    ├── .babelrc
    ├── webpack.config.js
    └── package.json

1. Install the dependencies

{
    ...
    "devDependencies": {
        "babel-core": "^6.25.0",
        "babel-loader": "^7.1.1",
        "babel-plugin-syntax-class-properties": "^6.13.0",
        "babel-plugin-transform-ui5": "^6.1.2",
        "babel-polyfill": "^6.23.0",
        "babel-preset-env": "^1.6.0",
        "webpack": "^3.4.1"
    }
    ...
}

$ npm install --save-dev babel-preset-transform-ui5 babel-plugin-syntax-class-properties

2. Configure .babelrc

Add transform-ui5 to the plugins and pass the options to track the imports that should be transformed.

{
   "sourceRoot": "./",
   "presets": [
    [
      "env",
      {
        "loose": true,
        "modules": false
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "syntax-class-properties",
    ["transform-ui5", { "libs": ["^sap", "^jquery"], "files": ["app/controller", "app/model"] }]
  ]
}

The sourceRoot property can helps the plugin to output the right namespace.

3. Configure webpack.config.js

Add a gulpfile.js in your project root folder.

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    'Component': ['babel-polyfill', path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/Component.mjs')],
    'test/unit/allTests': ['babel-polyfill', path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/test/unit/allTests.mjs')]
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/'),
    filename: '[name].js'
  },
  // devtool: 'cheap-module-eval-source-map',
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.m?js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        loaders: [
          'babel-loader'
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
};

4. Build with Webpack

Please take a look at example, you'll find the answer.
