@babel/code-frame generates formatted error messages that highlight the location of the error in your code. It takes source code, line number, and column number as input. It then outputs a visually appealing code frame that includes the relevant lines of code with an arrow pointing to the exact error location. This is invaluable for debugging and improves code readability. It's heavily used by Babel and other tools for displaying comprehensible error reports.
