How does Babel work?

Babel transpiles (converts) the code into JS code but if I was you I wouldn't use babel unless I was experienced with JS already.

Well I was wondering if you could use already written babel code and convert it into normal js

@Moon yes you can

@Wabz

Using what?

@Moon Using babel itself -_-

@Wabz

Uh okay

@Moon

There's no need. All babel does is transpile newer versions of JS for example ES6 to code which an older version of JS can run without issues for example ES5. Meaning the result of that code is still javascript therefore there is no need to revert it back to its old state unless you really wanted the use of newer properties. All in all babel does the following

--ES6 Input
const array = [69,420]
array.forEach(number => console.log(number ** 2))

--Babel does its transpiling magic 

--ES5 Compatible output
const array = [69,420]
array.forEach(function(x){
  console.log(x ** 2)
})
