Is there a way to give custom options to a babel plugin?

Question

I might be wrong but i couldn't find any solution to give some custom options to my custom babel plugin. Do you have any clue how i could achieve this ?

Here is my building process, i'm using gulp with browserify and babelify :

gulp.task("scripts", function() {
    return browserify({
        entries: "myFile.js"
    })
    .transform(babelify.configure({
        plugins: ["./lib/myPlugin:after"]
    }))
    .bundle()
    .pipe(source("all.js"))
    .pipe("build/");
});

I would like to give some custom data to my plugin, doing something like this :

gulp.task("scripts", function() {
    return browserify({
        entries: "myFile.js"
    })
    .transform(babelify.configure({
        myCustomOptions: {
            rootPath: "some path",
            customInfo: "..."
        }
        plugins: ["./lib/myPlugin:after"]
    }))
    .bundle()
    .pipe(source("all.js"))
    .pipe("build/");
});

Then in my plugin, i would like to retrieve the customOptions object i just declared. Would there be a way to achieve something like that ?

Thanks,

Regards

This has changed recently in Babel 6. From the docs:

Plugins can specify options. You can do so in your config by wrapping it in an array and providing a options object. For example:

{
  "plugins": [
    ["transform-async-to-module-method", {
      "module": "bluebird",
      "method": "coroutine"
    }]
  ]
}

Plugin Options documentation in the Babel plugin handbook.
