Webpack/V5/Json Imports To Default Imports

1.0.4Last update Apr 17, 2025

This codemod migrates imports from JSON modules that use named exports to use default exports instead.

This codemod transforms named imports from JSON files into default imports, adhering to the new ECMAScript specification and Webpack v5 compatibility. Named imports from JSON modules are no longer supported.

Example

Before

import { version } from "./package.json";
console.log(version);

After

import pkg from "./package.json";
console.log(pkg.version);

Before

import { version, name, description } from "./package.json";
console.log(version, name, description);

After

import pkg from "./package.json";
console.log(pkg.version, pkg.name, pkg.description);

Before

import { data } from './config.json';
console.log(data.nested.key, data.anotherKey);

After

import config from './config.json';
console.log(config.data.nested.key, config.data.anotherKey);

Before

import { key1, key2 } from './config.json';
console.log(key1, key2);

After

import config from './config.json';
console.log(config.key1, config.key2);
