Babel Loader

This package allows transpiling JavaScript files using Babel and webpack. Within your webpack configuration object, you'll need to add the babel-loader to the list of modules. You can pass options to the loader by using the options property. Make sure you are transforming as few files as possible. You can also speed up babel-loader by as much as 2x by using the cacheDirectory option. This will cache transformations to the filesystem. Babel uses very small helpers for common functions such as _extend. By default, this will be added to every file that requires it. You can instead require the Babel runtime as a separate module to avoid the duplication. Webpack supports bundling multiple targets. For cases where you may want different Babel configurations for each target (like web and node), this loader provides a target property via Babel's caller API.
