Pob Babel is a build and watch tool using Babel and TypeScript, part of the Pob monorepo toolchain. The current stable version is 45.0.1, requiring Node.js >=22.18.0. It integrates Babel compilation with TypeScript type-checking, providing a streamlined development workflow for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Key differentiators include automatic dependency handling, watch mode, and integration with other Pob tools like @pob/version and pob-dependencies.

Named export for watch function

Shows basic build and watch usage with TypeScript, Babel config, and cleaning.

import { build, watch } from 'pob-babel'; // Build once await build({ cwd: process.cwd(), config: './babel.config.js', typescript: true, clean: true }); // Watch mode const watcher = watch({ cwd: process.cwd(), config: './babel.config.js', typescript: true }); watcher.on('change', (file) => console.log(`File changed: ${file}`)); watcher.start();

Known issues

breakingNode.js >=22.18.0 required as of version 45.0.0

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 22.18.0 or later

affects: >=45.0.0

breakingESM-only: CommonJS require() not supported since v45

fix

Use import syntax or dynamic import()

affects: >=45.0.0

deprecatedThe 'watch' callback API deprecated in favor of event emitter

fix

Use watcher.on('change', cb) instead of passing callback to watch()

affects: >=44.0.0 <45.0.0

gotchaTypeScript config must be in tsconfig.json, not in Babel config

fix

Place TypeScript options in tsconfig.json; Babel only handles transpilation

affects: >=40.0.0

breakingRemoved support for .babelrc; use babel.config.js instead

fix

Migrate to babel.config.js or babel.config.cjs

affects: >=40.0.0
