--keep-extra-files Do NOT delete extra files in the output directory
-o, --output-directory <directory> Output directory to write transpiled files to
--output-file-extension <extension> Output file extension (defaults to .js)

Configuration
In addition to specifying options in CLI, you can also add them to your package.jsons (located through --root or cwd)
with the key sb-babel-cli. Here are the supported options
interface Config {
outputDirectory: string
cacheDirectory: string
outputFileExtension: string
watch: boolean
ignored: string[]
ignoredForRestart: string[]
sourceMaps: boolean | 'inline'
resetCache: boolean
keepExtraFiles: boolean
execute: string
executeDelay: number
extensions: string[]
printConfig: boolean
silent: boolean
nodeArgs: string[]
programArgs: string[]
}For example, for Typescript you can use the following configuration
// package.json
{
"name": "...",
// ...
"sb-babel-cli": {
"extensions": [".js", ".ts", ".tsx"]
}
}Examples
# To compile contents of src to lib directory
$ sb-babel-cli src -o lib
# To compile contents of src to lib directory and execute lib/server
$ sb-babel-cli src -o lib -x lib/server
