babel-plugin-filter-imports

This plugin is for Babel 6. If you need to support Babel 5 use the v0.2.x branch.

This babel plugin is used to removed references to imports within a module. This can be useful for removing debugging statements when doing a production build of your code. It is often used in conjunction with other tools like Uglify that perform dead code elimination.

Example

Given the .babelrc

{
  "plugins": [["filter-imports", {
    "debugging-tools": [ "warn" ]
  }]]
}

the module

import { warn } from 'debugging-tools';

function join(args, sep) {
  if (arguments.length > 2) {
    warn("join expects at most 2 arguments");
  }
  return args.join(sep);
}

will be transformed to

import { warn } from 'debugging-tools';

function join(args, sep) {
  if (arguments.length > 2) {
  }
  return args.join(sep);
}

Configuration

• options [Object]: An object whose keys are names of modules.
• options[moduleName] [String]: An array of names of imports from moduleName to be removed. You can include 'default' for default export and '*' for a namespace export.
