Can we run sucrase in the browser like babel-standalone?

For the same reasons babel-standalone exists. Would be nice to be able to run sucrase in browser code.

e.g.

<div id="root"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/.../sucrase.js"></script>
<script type="text/sucrase" src="app.js"></script>

Right now babel-standalone doesn’t support React Fragments (it’s stuck on babel v7 beta 3).

It’ll be nice if Sucrase could include a UMD or IIFE version in release. Then we’ll be able to use it directly via importScripts in Service Workers.

I’m writing an on-the-fly build tool using Service Worker, whose goal is to rid of node completely for modern frontend development/production, and I’m finding an alternative to esbuild since it could go out of stack strangely in Safari, but lacking of UMD/IIFE support won’t make me able to create a plugin for Sucrase.

Currently there’s only a CJS version and https://bundle.run/sucrase could do nothing about it.

Here an example on how you can setup sucrase to work in the browser using a service worker: https://gist.github.com/nestarz/dcaa70b5ecac5fa7e66103658f7ff0b7

The caveat is that I copied paste the code (from skypack) of sucrase inside the sw.js.
