hullabaloo-config-manager
Manages complex Babel config chains, avoiding duplicated work and enabling effective caching.
Hullabaloo: informal of "babel" (noun)
A confused noise, typically that made by a number of voices: the babel of voices on the road.
Use this package to resolve Babel config chains. The resulting options result
in equivalent compilation behavior as if babel-core
had resolved the config.
A Node.js-compatible JavaScript module can be generated which exports a function that provides the options object, applicable for the current environment. This module can be written to disk and reused.
Config sources and plugin and preset dependencies can be hashed and used as cache keys. The cache keys and generated module can be verified to avoid having to repeatedly resolve the config chains, and to be sure a previously transformation result can be reused.
This module is used by AVA.
Installation
$ npm install --save hullabaloo-config-manager
Usage
const configManager = require('hullabaloo-config-manager')
API
currentEnv(): string
Returns the current environment value, just like babel-core
would determine
it.
fromDirectory(dir: string, options?: {cache: Cache}): Promise<null | ResolvedConfig>
Asynchronously resolves config chains from the dir
directory. If no config can
be found the promise is resolved with null
. Otherwise it is resolved with the
resulting config object. The promise is rejected if
errors occur.
A cache
object may be provided.
createConfig(options: {options: BabelOptions, source: string, dir?: string, hash?: string, json5?: false}): Config
Creates and returns an in-memory config object. The first argument
must be provided, and it must have a valid options
object and
source
value.
If the dir
value is not provided it's derived from the source
value.
Dependencies are resolved relative to this dir
.
If the config source does not exist on disk the hash
value should be provided,
otherwise hashes cannot be created for the config.
The json5
property can be set to false
if the options
object can be
serialized using JSON.stringify()
.
Note that the options
object is cloned (deeply) before use.
fromConfig(baseConfig: Config, options?: {cache: Cache}): Promise<ResolvedConfig>
Asynchronously resolves config chains, starting with the baseConfig
. The
baseConfig
must be created using the createConfig()
method. The promise is
resolved with the resulting config object. The promise is
rejected if errors occur.
A cache
object may be provided.
restoreVerifier(buffer: Buffer): Verifier
Deserializes a Verifier
. The buffer
should be created using
Verifier#toBuffer()
.
prepareCache(): Cache
Creates a cache object that can be passed to the above functions. This may improve performance by avoiding repeatedly reading files from disk or computing hashes.
Config
Use createConfig()
to create this object.
Config#extend(config: Config)
Extend the config with another config. Throws a TypeError
if the config was
created with an extends
clause in its options
. It throws an Error
if it
has already been extended.
BabelOptions
See https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/api/#options.
ResolvedConfig
Returned by fromConfig()
and fromDirectory()
.
ResolvedConfig#generateModule(): string
Generates a Node.js-compatible JavaScript module which exports a getOptions()
function. This function returns a unique options object, applicable for the
current environment, that can be passed to babel-core
methods.
This module needs to evaluated before the getOptions()
method can be accessed.
ResolvedConfig#createVerifier(): Promise<Verifier>
Asynchronously hashes plugin and preset dependencies of the resolved config, as
well as config sources, and resolves the promise with a Verifier
object.
Verifier
Use restoreVerifier()
or ResolvedConfig#createVerifier()
to create this
object.
Verifier#cacheKeysForCurrentEnv(): {dependencies: string, sources: string}
Synchronously returns cache keys for the plugin and preset dependencies, and
config sources, that are applicable to the current environment. Use these values
to cache the result of babel-core
transforms.
Verifier#verifyCurrentEnv(fixedHashes?: {sources: {[source: string]: string}}, cache?: Cache): Promise<{badDependency: true} | {missingSource: true} | {sourcesChanged: true} | {cacheKeys: {dependencies: string, sources: string}, dependenciesChanged: boolean, sourcesChanged: false, verifier: Verifier}>
Asynchronously verifies whether the config is still valid for the current environment.
Provide fixedHashes
if the verifier was derived from a created config with a
fixed hash
value. A cache
object may also be provided.
The promise is resolved with an object describing the verification result:
-
If the object has a
badDependency
property then a plugin or preset dependency could not be hashed, presumably because it no longer exists. -
If it has a
missingSource
property then a config source no longer exists. -
If its
sourcesChanged
property istrue
then config sources have changed and the config is no longer valid. -
If its
dependenciesChanged
property istrue
then plugin or preset dependencies have changed, but the config itself is still valid. Theverifier
property holds a newVerifier
object which takes the new dependencies into account. ThecacheKeys
property contains the same result as callingVerifier#cacheKeysForCurrentEnv()
on the returnedverifier
. -
If its
sourcesChanged
anddependenciesChanged
properties are bothfalse
then the config is valid and cache keys won't have changed. Theverifier
property holds the sameVerifier
object. ThecacheKeys
properties contains the same result as callingVerifier#cacheKeysForCurrentEnv()
.
Verifier#toBuffer()
Serializes the verifier state into a Buffer
object. Use restoreVerifier()
to deserialize.
Errors
Error constructors are not publicly available, but errors can be identified by
their name
property.
BadDependencyError
Used when a plugin or preset dependency couldn't be resolved. The corresponding
package or file name is available through the source
property. There may be
another error with more details, available through the parent
property.
ExtendsError
Used when an extends
clause points at a non-existent file. The config file
that contains the clause is available through the source
property. The clause
itself is available through the clause
property. Has a parent
property that
contains a NoSourceFile
error.
InvalidFileError
Used when a config file is invalid. The file path is available through the
source
property.
NoSourceFileError
Used when a file does not exist. The file path is available through the source
property.
ParseError
Used when a config file cannot be parsed (this is different from it being
invalid). The file path is available through the source
property. The parsing
error is available through the parent
property.
