## The idea behind the example
|
|
|
|
This example features how to configure and use [`babel-macros`](https://github.com/kentcdodds/babel-macros) which allows you
|
|
to easily add babel plugins which export themselves as a macro without needing
|
|
to configure them.
|
|
|
|
You'll notice the configuration in `.babelrc` includes the `babel-macros`
|
|
plugin, then we can use the `preval.macro` in `pages/index.js` to pre-evaluate
|
|
code at build-time. `preval.macro` is effectively transforming our code, but
|
|
we didn't have to configure it to make that happen!
|
|
|
|
Specifically what we're doing is we're prevaling the username of the user who
|
|
ran the build.
