transpiles via babel and collects external helpers into a seperate module

Gulp Babel External Helpers

A gulp plugin that replaces gulp-babel, it does the same thing except it also tracks what helpers are used and exports them as a seperate module and includes that require in each file that needs them. Allowing you use external helpers without polluting the global context.

babelHelpers(babelConfig, imaginaryLocationInSrc)

    gulp.src('./src/*.js')//------------V (where this file would be if it was in src )
        .pipe(transform(babelConfig, './helpers.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./lib')) // will end up with a ./lib/helpers.js file containing the bable helpers

• babelConfig just a normal babel options object
• imaginaryLocationInSrc - This is the location of the helpers file if it were to exist in your source directories, this tells the plugin how to build the require('./helpers') import for each file and so it can be added into the file stream usefully.

gulp-babel-helpers's Issues

Adding a file into the stream instead of writing to an external file

Hi,

thank you for your work!

I'd like to add the file with the helpers back into the stream, instead of writing to an external file. This would make my build process much simpler, as I now have to fiddle w/ runSequence, addsrc, etc. Is this possible?
