constellate-babel

0.0.7 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

The Babel configuration and transpiler package for Constellate projects, a universal JavaScript application framework. As of version 0.0.7, this package provides a pre-configured Babel setup tailored for Constellate-based development. It is designed for Node.js >=7 and is part of the Constellate ecosystem, but has seen no active updates since initial release. The package enforces a specific Babel configuration that may not be compatible with other setups, and its limited release cadence suggests early-stage development. Key differentiator: tightly coupled with Constellate's build pipeline.
