# babel-plugin-transform-dirname-filename

Babel plugin that rewrites `__dirname` and `__filename` to static values.

## Example

Source file `t.js`:

```javascript

console.log(__dirname);

console.log(__filename);

```

### Execute normally

```sh

$ node t.js

/path/to

/path/to/t.js

```

### Before

```sh

$ babel --out-file build/t.js t.js

$ node build/t.js

/path/to/build

/path/to/build/t.js

```

Notice how the `build` directory is part of the paths, which is _not_ what we

want.

### After

```sh

$ babel --out-file build/t.js --plugins transform-dirname-filename t.js

$ node build/t.js

/path/to

/path/to/t.js

```

So even though the generated file is a `build/t.js`, the `__dirname` and

`__filename` values will still reference the source file!

## Installation

```sh

$ npm install babel-plugin-transform-dirname-filename --save-dev

```

## Usage

### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)

**.babelrc**

```json

{

  "plugins": ["transform-dirname-filename"]

}

```

### Via CLI

```sh

$ babel --plugins transform-dirname-filename script.js

```

### Via Node API

```javascript

require("babel-core").transform("code", {

  plugins: ["transform-dirname-filename"]

});

```
