@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties

Example

In

var obj = {
  ["x" + foo]: "heh",
  ["y" + bar]: "noo",
  foo: "foo",
  bar: "bar"
};

Out

var _obj;
function _defineProperty(obj, key, value) {
  if (key in obj) {
    Object.defineProperty(obj, key, {
      value: value,
      enumerable: true,
      configurable: true,
      writable: true
    });
  } else {
    obj[key] = value;
  }
  return obj;
}
var obj = (
  _obj = {},
  _defineProperty(_obj, "x" + foo, "heh"),
  _defineProperty(_obj, "y" + bar, "noo"),
  _defineProperty(_obj, "foo", "foo"),
  _defineProperty(_obj, "bar", "bar"),
  _obj
);

Installation

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties

Usage

With a configuration file (Recommended)

Without options:

{
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties"]
}

With options:

{
  "plugins": [
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties", {
      "loose": true
    }]
  ]
}

Via CLI

babel --plugins @babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties script.js

Via Node API

require("@babel/core").transform("code", {
  plugins: ["@babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties"]
});

Options

loose

boolean, defaults to false

Just like method assignment in classes, in loose mode, computed property namesuse simple assignments instead of being defined. This is unlikely to be an issuein production code.

Example

In

var obj = {
  ["x" + foo]: "heh",
  ["y" + bar]: "noo",
  foo: "foo",
  bar: "bar"
};

Out

var _obj;
var obj = (
  _obj = {},
  _obj["x" + foo] = "heh",
  _obj["y" + bar] = "noo",
  _obj.foo = "foo",
  _obj.bar = "bar",
  _obj
);
