auto-babel

auto-babel

auto-babel is a project that aims to bring autoprefixer-like functionality to babel.

Word of warning

Use with caution: auto-babel doesn't yet include support for android browsers or android chrome. Also, the tests run (es-feature-tests) aren't indicate of perfect spec compliance.

Using auto-babel

auto-babel outputs a list of transformers to blacklist based on feature support. For example, if all the browsers and environments you target support let and const, you don't need to run the es6.blockScoping transpiler.

API

var autoBabel = require('auto-babel');

var blacklistedTransformers = autoBabel('last 2 versions', '> 0.12.7');
babel.transform(code, { blacklist: blacklistedTransformers });

CLI

 ./cli.js -e 'last 2 Chrome versions' -n '> 0.12.7'
 
  [ 'es6.blockScoping',
    'es6.constants',
    'es6.spec.blockScoping',
    'es6.spec.symbols',
    'es6.spec.templateLiterals',
    'es6.templateLiterals',
    'regenerator' ]

    export SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=$KEY

2 - Set up sauce connect tunnel

    node_modules/sauce-tunnel/vendor/linux/bin/sc -D featuretests.io

3 - Run the tests

    make run-browser
