babel-preset-transform-ui5

A Babel transformer that converts modern ECMAScript or TypeScript UI5 code (ES modules and classes) into the sap.ui.define and Control.extend syntax the UI5 loader expects.

UI5's own module loader expects sap.ui.define calls and Control.extend syntax rather than the ES modules and classes most tooling assumes today. This Babel plugin converts both: import and export statements become sap.ui.define or sap.ui.require calls, and an ES class that extends an imported class becomes an extend() call, while leaving everything else, including transforming down to ES5, to other presets such as @babel/preset-env. A file, or a single import inside it, can opt out of the conversion entirely with the @ui5-no-wrap or @ui5-ignore-import comment pragmas, for code such as a Web Worker script that must stay a native ES module.

v7.10.0

Features 1, Fixes 1

Notes
Minor Changes

  • #154 f62f9fb Thanks @bbogovich-sap! - Add two comment pragmas to opt out of module transformation:

    • /* @ui5-no-wrap */ (file level) leaves a module completely unwrapped — no sap.ui.define/sap.ui.require and no import/export rewriting — while still stripping TypeScript types. Intended for modules consumed as native ES modules, e.g. web workers.
    • /* @ui5-ignore-import */ (statement level) excludes a single static import or dynamic import() from being converted into a UI5 dependency.

    Note: @ui5-ignore-import on a static import only yields valid output in an unwrapped module (no exports, or together with @ui5-no-wrap); a leftover ES import inside a sap.ui.define factory is not valid at runtime.

  1. v7.9.0

    Features 1, Fixes 2

    Notes
    Minor Changes

    • #151 ce059b3 Thanks @petermuessig! - Raise minimum Node.js version to 20.19, refresh dev dependencies, and migrate ESLint to v9 flat config.

      • engines.node is now >=20.19.0 for both packages.
      • ESLint upgraded to 9.x with new eslint.config.js (legacy .eslintrc.js and .eslintignore removed).
      • eslint-plugin-node (unmaintained) replaced by eslint-plugin-n@17.
      • Removed obsolete dev dependencies: babel-eslint (superseded by @babel/eslint-parser), eslint-config-standard, eslint-plugin-standard.
      • Bumped eslint-config-prettier to 10.x, eslint-plugin-prettier to 5.5.x, eslint-plugin-promise to 7.x, prettier to 3.8.x, jest/babel-jest to 30.4.x, core-js to 3.49.x.
      • CI matrix updated from Node 18/20/22/24 to 20/22/24.

      No changes to plugin runtime behavior or production dependencies.

    Patch Changes

    • #151 ce059b3 Thanks @petermuessig! - Bump dev-only dependencies to their latest minor releases:

      • globals 17.6 → 17.7
      • prettier 3.8 → 3.9

      Both stay within the Node 20.19+ support window declared in our Node.js support policy. No plugin behavior changes.

    • Updated dependencies [ce059b3, ce059b3, ce059b3, ce059b3, ce059b3]:

      • babel-plugin-transform-modules-ui5@7.9.0
