Investigation on babel vs babel-loader output. Experimental repository.

babel vs babel-loader

Investigating output from babel and babel-loader which is vastly different from each other.

Objective

Make a React component ready to be published to npm as a module. Intended targets are es6 and commonjs modules.

Usage

Install dependencies

npm install

Start app

Running following command will start the app and watch for changes.

npm start

Then you can edit src/index.js to try each version of the build such as:

ES6

- import JoeBloggs from './components/joe-bloggs';
+ import JoeBloggs from './components/joe-bloggs/dist';

CommonJS

- import JoeBloggs from './components/joe-bloggs';
+ import JoeBloggs from './components/joe-bloggs/dist/cjs';

Please note that any styles will be stripped off in CommonJS version

Details of the issue (now resolved) from this step onwards are here

Build

npm run build

This will output results into dist/.
