gulp-babel

Provides a straightforward way to incorporate Babel into Gulp tasks without unnecessary bloat, following the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well as stated in the README.

Seamlessly works with gulp-sourcemaps for debugging, as shown in the README example with sourcemaps.init() and .write(), enabling easy tracing of transpiled code.

Automatically loads Babel configuration from project config files like .babelrc, reducing manual setup and aligning with Babel's standard practices.

Annotates files with Babel metadata from babel.transform(), allowing custom post-processing logic, such as in the logBabelMetadata example in the README.
