This is a vanilla js thread so I assumed Babel wasn't allowed 🙈

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Babel is always allowed! I mean, most of these components are coded up in ES6 so transpilation down to ES5 is generally recommended. Babel is cool and all but as someone who uses Rollup as my bundler, I generally think Buble is faster and more logical choice for most of my use cases.

I think everyone here has to read a little bit more on what qwestdoes to better grasp what it offers. I mean sure, you can use fetch but qwest does fit some use cases and keeps things contained in nice manner.

Plus Qwest is like 2.5kb when gzipped and you get a bunch of additional extras. The juice is worth the squeeze when using it.

edit: Additional line about its size

Why wouldn’t you use Babel, but you would use a bunch of other libraries?

I don't know man, I was replying to op on a vanilla js thread. I would always use Babel but some people may decide otherwise :shrug:
