tasks/config/babel.js
This file configures a Grunt task called "babel".
This task is used to transpile any ES8, ES7, and ES6 syntax in your front-end JavaScript files for compatibility with older browsers.
(By default, only
.jsfiles in theassets/js/folder and subfolders will be transpiled. If you need other things transpiled, such asassets/dependencies/, you'll need to modify the configuration of this task accordingly.)
For additional usage documentation, see grunt-babel.

Anatomy of a Sails App
Built with Love
The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
