vite-plugin-babel

Integrates Babel transformation directly into Vite's dev server and build pipeline, allowing Babel plugins to run on all processed files during serve, build, and SSR. Version 1.6.0 supports Vite 2.7+ through 8 (inclusive) and requires @babel/core >=7.0.0. Unlike most Vite Babel integrations that only affect build, this plugin applies Babel across all Vite commands, making it useful for polyfills, code transforms, and custom syntax that Babel plugins provide. It's a thin wrapper that adds Babel as a Vite plugin, respecting Vite's cache and file-watching behavior.
