**Babel Plugin for TypeScript Transpilation**

Babel is a JavaScript compiler that transforms modern JavaScript code into compatible versions for older browsers or environments. While primarily used for JavaScript, Babel can also facilitate the transpilation of TypeScript into JavaScript, making it easier to integrate TypeScript projects into existing codebases. This process involves converting TypeScript’s type annotations and advanced syntax into plain JavaScript that runs across different environments.

The Babel plugin for TypeScript, often referred to as `@babel/preset-typescript`, is a preset that automates the

To use Babel with TypeScript, developers typically configure their project with a `.babelrc` or `babel.config.js` file

```json

{

"presets": ["@babel/preset-typescript"]

}

```

This setup triggers Babel to process TypeScript files through the appropriate plugins, reducing the need for
