node-red-contrib-babel

library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

A Node-RED node that uses Babel to transpile JavaScript code within a Node-RED flow. Version 0.0.5 is the latest release; appears to be experimental with no active maintenance. It allows specifying presets and input encoding but lacks documentation. Caution: unknown security implications as it executes transpiled code in Node-RED context.
