babel-codemod rewrites JavaScript using babel plugins.

Install from yarn:

$ yarn global add babel-codemod

NOTE: You can also install using npm install -g babel-codemod.

This will install the runner as codemod. This package requires node v6 or higher.

The primary interface is as a command line tool, usually run like so:

$ codemod --plugin transform-module-name \
  path/to/file.js \
  another/file.js

This will re-write the files path/to/file.js and another/file.js by transforming them with the babel plugin transform-module-name. Multiple plugins may be specified, and multiple file or directories may be re-written at once.

For more detailed options, run codemod --help.

There are many, many existing plugins that you can use. However, if you need to write your own you should consult the babel handbook. If you publish a plugin intended specifically as a codemod, consider using both the babel-plugin and babel-codemod keywords.

While testing out your plugin, you may find it useful to use the --require option when running codemod if your plugin is written using JavaScript syntax not supported by the current version of node. For example:

# Run a local plugin written with newer JavaScript syntax.
$ codemod --require babel-register --plugin ./my-plugin.js src/

# Run a local plugin written with TypeScript.
$ codemod --require ts-node/register --plugin ./my-plugin.ts src/
