 This plugin **DOES NOT** instrument your code. You have to instrument it yourself using [Istanbul.js](https://istanbul.js.org/) tool. Luckily it is not difficult.

See [Examples](#examples) section for advice, usually you need to stick `babel-plugin-istanbul` into your pipeline somewhere.

 Now the code coverage from spec files will be combined with end-to-end coverage.

 If you cannot use `.babelrc` for some reason (maybe it is used by other tools?), try using the Browserify transformer included with this module in `use-browserify-istanbul` file.
