Generate an AST from a string template.
In computer science, this is known as an implementation of quasiquotes.
npm install --save-dev babel-template
import template from "babel-template"; import generate from "babel-generator"; import * as t from "babel-types"; const buildRequire = template(` var IMPORT_NAME = require(SOURCE); `); const ast = buildRequire({ IMPORT_NAME: t.identifier("myModule"), SOURCE: t.stringLiteral("my-module") }); console.log(generate(ast).code);
const myModule = require("my-module");
template(code, [opts])
Type: string
babel-template

by default.allowSuperOutsideMethod
is set to true
by default.Type: boolean

to preserve any comments from the code
parameter.
