babel-plugin-macros empowers developers to write more expressive and maintainable Babel transforms. This plugin enables the use of "macros" - self-contained code snippets that expand at compile time, performing complex transformations or injecting boilerplate based on their usage. This avoids runtime overhead and simplifies code. Macros promote code reuse and offer excellent TypeScript support, ensuring type safety throughout the transformation process. With babel-plugin-macros, easily integrate custom logic and domain-specific languages into your JavaScript projects.
