Babil transpiles all your dependencies without needing grunt or gulp.
npm install babilThis was just an experimental project, and there’s no need to reinvent babel and/or create a wrapper around babel.
I’m not planning to contribute to this project for a while.
If you are interested in being a contributor, please let me know.
Thanks,
Volkan.

babil is a helper module that transpiles your dependencies.
Currently you can do what babil can do with a simple babel command when you set things up correctly. So this is more like an experimental projects that wraps around babel.
So putting something like…
`
"scripts": {
…
"build": "babel lib --source-maps -d release"
},
in your package.json is a much leaner option than using babil.
That said,
`
babil.initialize().then(babil.transpile)
does not look that bad either.
If you have any recommendations and thoughts, feel free to create an issue.
I haven’t checked; though I’m sure you’ll need a recent version of Node.JS (> 5.x.x) because it’s using modern JavaScript syntax.
Feel free to create a PR to make it backwards-compatible.
First install babil via npm:
`
npm install babil --save-dev
Then use it in your scripts:
`
#!/usr/bin/env node
// file: PROJECT_ROOT/bin/transpile.js
var babil = require( 'babil' );
var transpile = babil.transpile;
var ROOT_PATH = require( 'path' ).join( __dirname, '..' );
//
// Assuming that babel-cli is “locally” installed in PROJECT_ROOT/node_modules
// the following call transpiles all JS files inside ,PROJECT_ROOT/release
// into .``
// It adds source maps to help debugging, too.
//
babil
.initialize( { rootPath: ROOT_PATH } )
.then( transpile );
Any help is more than appreciated.
