sb-babel-cli

library5.1.1jsnpmunverified

A smarter babel-cli wrapper by Steelbrain. Version 5.1.1 is the latest stable release. It wraps the official Babel CLI with additional features like file watching, improved error handling, and a simpler API. Not actively maintained; the author recommends using @babel/cli directly. Requires Node >= 10.
