issue adding plugin to .babelrc about babel-plugin-source-map-support HOT 3 CLOSED

Error: Cannot find module 'source-map-support/register'

You need to install the source-map-support module:

In conjunction with the source-map-support module, which must be installed separately, this statement hooks into the v8 stack-trace API to translate call sites in the transpiled code back to their corresponding locations in the original code.

ahh musta missed it. my bad. why not install that module as a dependency or at least indicate it as a peer?

from babel-plugin-source-map-support.

Babel runs at compile time, and the dependency is needed at runtime. In practice you'll usually be bundling source-map-support locally for development and disabling it for production, in which case it would make sense to peer-depend on it, but that's just a convention, not an intrinsic requirement of this plugin.

For example, a project could be compiled in one environment (source-map-support not needed), tested in a CI environment (source-map-support needed), and deployed to another (source-map-support not needed).
