Babel

Babel is a tool for transpiling (compiling) ES6/ES7 code to ECMAScript 5 code, which can be used today in any modern browser. Even more - Babel has extensions for transpiling JSX for React and Flow syntax for static type checking. Babel and its surrounding ecosystem is playing an essential role for today’s modern web applications. Now with Babel fully integrated into Lianja you are ready to start using the latest JavaScript specs and accompanied technologies (JSX, Flow, etc.) from now on.

Babel files have a ".esx" extension. You can set the scripting language in your App to "Babel" in the App settings.

Any editing changes to the ".esx" file cause it to be automatically transpiled into a ".js" file in the same way a ".ts" TypeScript file is transpiled into a ".js" file.

Babel is supported in Lianja 4.1 and above.
