Add ability to handle scripts using text/babel type

[Daniel15]

As a simple example:

<script type="text/babel">
const foo = () => alert('Hello world!');
foo();
</script>

babel-standalone should provide some way to parse all text/babel script tags, transform the script using Babel, and evaluate their contents.

I built this based on babel-standalone. This is basically the only addition I made on top of babel-standalone.

I'd be ecstatic to submit a PR for this and deprecate throw-in-the-towel. Let me know what you think!

That looks great! Any update on a PR?

[ghost]

I'm still happy to create a PR for this if @Daniel15 would like to integrate something like it.

[Daniel15]

Sure, I'd appreciate a pull request 😄

Any updates? I believe a lot of developers need this feature since Babel 6 does not support it.

[Daniel15]

Released in babel-standalone 6.10.3.

Is it possible to do this for a page which was loaded with ajax?

[Daniel15]

@dublinus How are you doing your AJAX request? Most likely you should just use Babel.transform on the scripts directly.

@Daniel15 That's what I ended up doing. Thanks!
