A sample repository from Microsoft demonstrating how to use Babel CLI to transpile TypeScript to JavaScript while using the TypeScript compiler for type-checking. It includes step-by-step setup instructions and examples for integrating JSX/React, Webpack, and Rollup.

Use cases

• set up a TypeScript project that builds with Babel
• use Babel for transpilation and tsc only for type-checking
• configure a TypeScript React project with Babel and Webpack
• bundle a TypeScript library with Rollup and Babel
• learn how Babel and TypeScript fit together in a build pipeline

When to choose

• you want fast TypeScript transpilation via Babel with separate type-checking
• you need a reference setup for TypeScript with JSX/React and bundlers
• you are learning how to wire Babel and TypeScript together manually

When to avoid

• you want a full-featured production build system with batteries included
• you prefer an all-in-one toolchain like ts-node, esbuild, or Vite
• you need an actively maintained template with recent updates
