The command lebab --replace ${select}
is used to transform code written in unsupported or outdated JavaScript syntax to a more modern and supported syntax.
Here is an explanation of the components of this command:
-
lebab
: This is a JavaScript transformer tool that can convert code from one syntax to another. It can upgrade your code to newer ES6+ syntax or convert it to a different module format. -
--replace
: This option tells lebab to modify the original files in place, replacing the old code with the transformed code. -
${select}
: This is a placeholder representing the file or files where you want to apply the transformation. You need to replace${select}
with the actual file path or a set of file paths, depending on your use case. For example, you can mention a single JavaScript file or use wildcard patterns to target multiple files.
When you run the command, lebab reads the specified file(s), performs the necessary transformations, and saves the updated code back into the same file(s), replacing the original code. This allows you to automatically update your codebase without manually making the changes yourself.
