babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd

library2.32.2jsnpmunverified

A Babel plugin (v2.32.2, last released 2024-03-05) that wraps CommonJS modules inside AMD define() calls. It automatically detects require() calls and adds them as AMD dependencies, removing the need for manual dependency arrays. Part of the Liferay Frontend Projects monorepo, maintained for liferay-portal build system. Infrequently updated; stable but low community adoption outside Liferay. Requires Babel 6/7 and the plugin must be listed in .babelrc. No active development seen in recent years.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import plugin from 'babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd'; // ESM

✗ const plugin = require('babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd'); // CJS require

Plugin is CommonJS internally but can be imported via ESM in Babel config when using module system.

wrapModuleAmdPlugin

✓ import { wrapModuleAmdPlugin } from 'babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd';

✗ import wrapModuleAmdPlugin from 'babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd';

Plugin does not export a named symbol; only default export is available.

babel.config.js usage

✓ module.exports = { plugins: ['wrap-modules-amd'] };

✗ module.exports = { plugins: ['babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd'] };

Babel resolves short plugin name; the full npm package name is not required.

Shows how to configure the plugin in .babelrc and its effect: a CommonJS module with require() gets wrapped in an AMD define() call with dependencies auto-detected.

// .babelrc { "plugins": ["wrap-modules-amd"] } // Input file (source.js) var fs = require('fs'); console.log(fs.readFileSync('data.txt', 'utf8')); // After Babel transformation, output becomes: define(['module', 'exports', 'require', 'fs'], function (module, exports, require) { var fs = require('fs'); console.log(fs.readFileSync('data.txt', 'utf8')); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin only supports CommonJS require() calls; does not handle dynamic imports or ES modules.

fix

Use Babel plugin-transform-modules-commonjs first if using ES import syntax.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe plugin does not support named AMD modules; define() always uses anonymous definition.

fix

If you need named modules, use a different plugin like babel-plugin-amd-define.

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedMaintenance mode; no new features planned. Consider migrating to modern bundlers like Webpack or Rollup if possible.

fix

Use a modern bundler that outputs AMD if needed, or adopt a different output format.

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd'

The plugin is not installed, or Node.js cannot resolve it when running Babel.

fix

Run: npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-wrap-modules-amd and ensure node_modules path is correct.

ReferenceError: define is not defined

The wrapped AMD module is executed in an environment without an AMD loader (like RequireJS).

fix

Include an AMD loader such as RequireJS, or use the plugin to output CommonJS instead.
