Guide to this repository

This is a monorepo managed by lerna. Let's go through the folder structure:

• /docs: source markdown files for our Docusaurus docs
• /website: the rest of the files (React, Site config, etc) for our Docusaurus docs
• /packages/babel.macro: a very small/insignificant wrapper of babel-plugin-blade for hooking into babel-plugin-macros. Published as blade.macro.
• /packages/babel-plugin-blade: the core of this repo, the secret sauce. Published as babel-plugin-blade. It has a separate README, go in there if interested to learn more about its inner workings. If you are just looking to use babel-plugin-blade you can just check out our new Docs site.
