✨ Glowup Vibes ✨

The most goated Babel plugin

This plugin was high key inspired by an Instagram reel by @justin.makes.things: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cwn5KYtIWDm/

I was shook. I thought it hit different so I said "bet" and started flexin on em. IYKYK fam.

Here's my stitch on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxvwz76vBus/

What does it do?

It transpiles internet slang into valid JavaScript.

This was a fun project to increase my AST rizz. I'm a Babel simp now 👉👈

How to use it

Install npm install babel-plugin-glowup-vibes --save
Set up babel and add babel-plugin-glowup-vibes to your list of plugins
Highkey start flexing. Use the options outlined in Options. Running your build command should be a major W. Look for big JavaScript vibes wherever you set the output to go (in our example below, it'll be in lib/compiled.js)

In case you need more detailed instructions than that:

To set up babel, create a babel.config.json file and add the following to it:

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "@babel/preset-env",
      {
        "targets": {
          "edge": "17",
          "firefox": "60",
          "chrome": "67",
          "safari": "11.1"
        },
        "useBuiltIns": "usage",
        "corejs": "3.6.5"
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-glowup-vibes"]
}

Add something like this to your package.json file:

"scripts": {
    "build": "babel ./src/script.js --out-file ./lib/compiled.js"
},

Note: this was designed using Babel 7 and I haven't tested it on anything else. I super don't guarantee that this is totally flawless.

Contributing

I welcome PRs if you can think of ways to make this even more bussin.

Your PR will be merged faster if you do these things:

Update the table in the README
Provide an example in example.js
Test your work by running npm run build and checking compiled.js to see whether it worked how you thought
Format your code by running npm run test
Bonus points if you write tests

If you want to contribute, but you don't know where to start, that's great! Watch this YouTube video to learn more about Babel plugins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK6n0pYcOe8

AST explorer is also a great tool to learn about ASTs and test some of your ideas. https://astexplorer.net/

Does this exist in (insert coding language)?

There is a C++ version! https://twitter.com/lauriewired/status/1684329735399313409

@renancaraujo created a Dart version: https://pub.dev/packages/glowup_vibes

@chelseas created a Julia version: https://github.com/chelseas/GlowupVibes.jl

Other than that, the answer is probably no. But you should make one!!

Honorable mention: Thy Script, the 1500s version https://github.com/dlustre/babel-plugin-thy-script
