define-constants
Gets rid of repeating stuff when declaring self-defined constants.
Instead of typing things twice:
const MY_CONSTANT = "MY_COSNTANT" // note a mistypeconst MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT = "MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"const MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN = "MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"You can type things once:
const MY_CONSTANT MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN = // MY_CONSTANT === "MY_CONSTANT"// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"and get them correct.
Anyway your console.log(MY_VARIABLE) will show the right text and you will never get frustrated searching for a mistyped constant.
You can also add some namespace to your constants:
const MY_NAMESPACE = const MY_CONSTANT MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN = // MY_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_CONSTANT"// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"Tweak namespace delimiter if you wish:
const MY_CONSTANT MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN = // MY_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_CONSTANT"// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"TODO: babel plugin to transform the code at compile time.
