babel-upgrade

A tool that tries to automatically update most dependencies, config files, and JavaScript files that require Babel packages directly to Babel 7 (and more in the future).

Usage

Requires nodejs 8 or newer

Run at the root of your git repo:

If using npm < v5.2.0, install npx globally.

# npx lets you run babel-upgrade without installing it locally
npx babel-upgrade --write

# or install globally and run
npm install babel-upgrade -g
babel-upgrade --write

Without the --write (or -w) flag, babel-upgrade will print a diff without writing any changes.

Optionally, add --install (or -i) as well to run yarn or npm after writing the upgrade.

npx babel-upgrade --write --install

Ideas from http://new.babeljs.io/docs/en/next/v7-migration.html (or modify that file if it's missing)

  • Convert comma separated presets/plugins into an array (#37)
{
-  "presets": "env, react",
+  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"],

+    "@babel/plugin-syntax-import-meta": "^7.0.0"
}
  • Log when replacing out preset-es2015,16,17,latest as FYI
  • Figure out how to change nested .babelrcs into using "overrides" instead
  • Monorepo support
  • .babelrc.js and other js files with a config like presets, webpack.config.js
  • convert only/ignore if necessary
  • remove typeof-symbol if using @babel/preset-env + loose
  • Update test files that use babel directly (babel-types -> @babel/types, babel-core)
    • Update all requires/imports
    • Update the use of the Babel API (plugins, integrations)
  • Modify other config files as we go
  • Add to the upgrade guide which parts are autofixable and the command (if we care enough to make this individually runnable too infrastructure wise)
  • May need to add a warning on any 3rd party plugins since they might not be compatible
  • Handle the differences in plugins in v7 for default/loose/spec
  • Should certain parts be generic (replace the string babel-register with @babel/register)? Could be in a Makefile or somewhere else, but it's just find replace.

Philosophy

  • Move this into the monorepo when somewhat ready
    • Maybe move into @babel/cli?
    • Or just another package that is intended to be used via npx/globally
  • Whenever there is a breaking change in a PR we should also update this tool when possible or at least provide a warning
    • What about with a regression?
  • Can be used for non-major bumps too - just for updating to the latest version.
  • Include mini-changelog?
  • Maybe the version should just reflect the version that it targets?

Development

npm install
npm start
