bn0: an alternative babel-node binary with pre-loaded nightly presets
npm install -g babel-node-bin-stage-0
This is a fork of babel-cli
that only provides a bn0
binary. bn0
is a babel-node
alternative with all nightly presets pre-loaded. It comes with:
Why?
First of all, it's no different than babel-node
so don't use it in production.
Say you wanna quickly prototype some stuff using the latest JavaScript features, but:
- Installing
babel-cli
and presets globally is a bad idea - Setting up a new project and adding
babel-core
,babel-cli
,babel-preset-...
dependencies takes too much time
Got it? bn0
requires no configuration and doesn't pollute your local require/import
calls. Just run your file with bn0 myfile.js
, or use bn0
itself for a REPL.
