What is babel-plugin-custom and how do I use it?

babel-plugin-custom is a Babel plugin that allows you to create custom transformations for your JavaScript code. You can use it to modify the syntax or behavior of your code during the build process.

Can you give me an example of how to set it up in my project?

Sure! First, install the plugin using npm: npm install babel-plugin-custom. Then, add it to your Babel configuration file like this: { "plugins": ["babel-plugin-custom"] }.

What kind of transformations can I create with it?

You can create transformations like changing variable names, adding logging, or even modifying function behavior. It’s very flexible!

Are there any performance implications I should be aware of?

Yes, custom transformations can add overhead during the build process, so it's important to test and optimize your plugin to ensure it doesn't slow down your build times.
