Babel Macro

This is a babel-plugin-macros macro for babel-plugin-codegen.

Please see those projects for more information.

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev codegen.macro

You'll also need to install and configure babel-plugin-macros if you haven't already.

Usage

Once you've configured babel-plugin-macros you can import/require codegen.macro. For example:

import codegen from 'codegen.macro'

codegen`module.exports = ['a', 'b', 'c'].map(l => 'export const ' + l + ' = ' + JSON.stringify(l)).join(';')`

      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

export const a = "a";
export const b = "b";
export const c = "c";

You'll find more usage capabilities in the babel-plugin-codegen test snapshots.

Note:

babel-plugin-codegen allows you to have a few more APIs than you have with this macro, but this macro comes with all the benefits of using babel-plugin-macros (which you can read about in the babel-plugin-macros docs).
