babby NPM version Status

A thin wrapper around Babel v6 to enable advanced plugins.

"Advanced" plugins can modify Babel's parser to add new tokenizer token types and AST node types! 😎

Not sure what that means? See here: https://github.com/babel/babylon/issues/22

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

$ npm install babby

Usage

To use Babby, simply substitute it in place of whichever Babel package you're currently using to transpile code (i.e. babel-cli, babel-register, etc.). Everything else should work, no further changes necessary.
