inject-babel-plugins-cra

🔧 Injects babel plugins into create-react-app without ejecting.

Getting started

Install the module

Run yarn add --dev inject-babel-plugins-cra.

Usage example

• add the babel plugins you need to your project. e.g: yarn add babel-plugin-relay babel-plugin-react-css-modules.

• create a js script that injects the plugins to your app, let’s call it init.js. e.g:

  const injectBabelPluginCRA = require('inject-babel-plugin-cra');
  injectBabelPluginCRA([
    // add a simple plugin
    { name: 'babel-plugin-relay' },
    // add a plugin with options
    {
      name: 'babel-plugin-react-css-modules',
      options: {
        generateScopedName: '[path]__[name]__[local]',
      },
    },
  ]);

• Update your start script in package.json to call the init.js script first.
  • e.g "start": "node ./init.js && npm-run-all -p watch-css start-js"
