jstransformer-babel

A JSTransformer plugin that wraps Babel for transpiling JavaScript. Current version 2.1.0 supports Babel 6 and is in maintenance mode. The package provides a unified interface through the JSTransformer architecture, enabling render, renderFile, and renderString APIs. Unlike direct Babel usage, it filters unsupported options and supports .babelrc configuration when a filename is provided. Key differentiator: it integrates with the JSTransformer ecosystem (used by Pug, etc.) but does not include presets by default, requiring explicit presets like 'es2015' in Babel 6.
