eslint-plugin-babel seamlessly integrates Babel's parser into ESLint, enabling linting of modern JavaScript syntax, including ESNext features and experimental Babel plugins. This plugin allows developers to leverage ESLint's powerful linting capabilities while utilizing Babel for transpilation. By parsing code with Babel, it supports features not yet natively supported by ESLint's default parser, leading to fewer false positives and more accurate code analysis. It's a crucial tool for projects heavily reliant on Babel for cutting-edge JavaScript development.
