We'd like to be able to add custom functionality to *polymer build* and
*polymer
serve* by configuring custom babel plugins.
For example, since polymer-cli uses babel internally, we would add a
*babel.config.js* file to our workspace/project-root, e.g.:
module.exports = function (api) {
api.cache(true);
const presets = [ ];
const plugins = [
"@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining"
];
return {
presets,
plugins
};
}
...and then we could serve or build our project with support for
optional-chaining, etc This would allow us to do all sorts of things by
writing additional babel plugins to handle stuff like minification inside
template HTML strings...
Unfortunately, this doesn't currently work. *polymer-build* seems to load
the configuration (due to its use of babel/core?), but *polymer-analyze*
doesn't. An error is generated in the build-optimization step performed by
polymer-analyze as soon as it encounters optional-chaining syntax in our
source:
error: Error: Unable to get document file:///.../somefile.js: This
> experimental syntax requires enabling the parser plugin: 'optionalChaining'

polymer serve also generates an error:

In both cases, I've confirmed that the *babel.config.js* file is being
loaded. But babel is used in several different packages used by
*polymer-cli*, so my suspicion is that in some components aren't using the
part of babel that loads the configuration.
I had a look at polymer-cli, but I'm fairly new to TypeScript and NodeJS.
If there's any interest in this, I'd be willing to work on it if I can get
some initial help from someone involved with the project. Specifically,
confirmation that the approach is correct and identification of any other
known limitations that may become issues?
Cheers.
