Detect Babel in any GitHub repo

Babel is one of the build tool technologies Stack Fingerprint recognises automatically when it scans a public repository.

How Babel is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Babel when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: /^babel\.config/, .babelrc, .babelrc.js, .babelrc.json
  • Dependencies in package.json: @babel/core

Babel README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Babel badge

Markdown
![Babel](https://img.shields.io/badge/Babel-F9DC3E?style=for-the-badge&logo=babel&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Babel (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

README.md
[![Stack Fingerprint](https://stackfingerprint.vercel.app/api/card?repo=OWNER/REPO)](https://stackfingerprint.vercel.app/?repo=OWNER/REPO)

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
