Babel Plugin Loader

Build a utility that loads Babel plugins and presets by name, demonstrating understanding of Babel's plugin resolution system.

Requirements

Create a module that accepts plugin or preset names and loads them using Babel's configuration system. The module should:

1. Accept plugin or preset names in shorthand format (e.g., "transform-arrow-functions" or "preset-env")
2. Load the plugins/presets using Babel's API
3. Return whether each item loaded successfully
4. Handle errors when items cannot be loaded

The utility should work with:

• Plugin shorthand names (e.g., "transform-arrow-functions")
• Preset shorthand names (e.g., "preset-env")
• Scoped package names (e.g., "@babel/plugin-transform-arrow-functions")

Test Cases

• Loading a standard Babel plugin by shorthand name returns the resolved plugin @test
• Loading a Babel preset by shorthand name returns the resolved preset @test
• Loading a scoped Babel plugin returns the correctly resolved plugin @test
• Attempting to load a non-existent plugin returns an error @test

API

/**
 * Loads and validates Babel plugins and presets
 *
 * @param {Array<string>} names - Array of plugin/preset names to load
 * @param {Object} options - Configuration options
 * @param {string} options.type - Either 'plugin' or 'preset'
 * @returns {Array<Object>} Array of results with { name, resolved, loaded, error }
 */
function loadBabelPlugins(names, options) {
  // IMPLEMENTATION HERE
}

module.exports = { loadBabelPlugins };
