I am trying to export a es6 module in header.js
:
export default {
setHeaderHighlight: function (index) {
// do somethings
}
};
And import it in index.js
:
import header from "./header.js"
$(function () {
header.setHeaderHighlight(0);
});
Then transformation comes out in index.bundle.js
:
var _header = __webpack_require__(129);
var _header2 = _interopRequireDefault(_header);
function _interopRequireDefault(obj) {
return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; // crash here
}
So here is the problem, ie8 will rise a Expected identifier
Exception at { default: obj }
, but everythings is ok >=ie9.
Is there something i can do with this?
By default, Babel 6.x requires you to enable an explicit set of transformations. The standard es2015
preset converts ES6 to ES5, however IE8 is not ES5-compatible. In this case, if you look at the plugins list, you will see
- transform-es3-member-expression-literals
- transform-es3-property-literals
These will convert your properties to be compatible with IE8. Generally in Babel 6.x you'd do this by passing those names as part of your plugins
array, alongside the presets
array and install the transforms via
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es3-member-expression-literals babel-plugin-transform-es3-property-literals
I use webpack + es3ify-loader as workaround.
loaders: {
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loaders: ['es3ify', `babel?${JSON.stringify(babelQuery)}`],
},
}
I also have the problem, and I wrote a webpack plugin to resolve it. I didn't really know if there is a nicer way to handle it, but it works.
The module in node_modules also works well.
