Babel presets for modern Node.js.

Node.js includes recent releases of V8, which implements some—but not all—of the features of modern JavaScript. Using Babel, we can use most of the latest features of JavaScript by transforming the source code into the subset of JavaScript that V8 supports.

babel-preset-node brings in the features of modern JavaScript while using V8's native implementations where possible.

npm install @exponent/babel-preset-node --save-dev

Specify the preset in your Babel configuration. For example, you may create a file called .babelrc in your project's root directory that contains:

{
  "presets": ["@exponent/babel-preset-node"]
}
