- #3676 Remove the cycle from babel-types/babel-traverse.. (@loganfsmyth)
Lots of stuff in this release!
- #3624 A new preset for
es2017
: it includes the 2 previous stage-3 plugins: async/await (via transform-async-to-generator) and trailing commas in functions. (thanks to @bettiolo for the npm package)
npm install babel-preset-es2017 --save-dev
// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["es2017"] }
- #3625, #3673 A new preset called
latest
that transforms ES2015+ (currently ES2015, ES2016, ES2017). You can also pass options down to thees2015
preset.
We also will be working on getting a target/env (autoprefixer) preset soon.
npm install babel-preset-latest --save-dev
// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["latest"] }
// with options
{ "presets": [
["latest", {
"es2015": {
"modules": false
}
}]
] }
- #3671 We also are including a
spec
option for thees2015
preset since the arrow function/template string plugins support this option.
spec
for arrow functions uses.bind(this)
, instead of renaming, to makethis
available inside the transformed function. It also adds a runtime check to make sure they are not instantiated (since they transform into bound regular functions).spec
for template literals wraps all expressions inString
rather than simple string concatenation.
// .babelrc
{
"presets": [
["es2015", { "spec": true }]
]
}
-
#3659 @kittens added an optional
wrapPluginVisitorMethod
callback to transform to allow for performance tracking/introspection of plugins. More docs will be added on the website soon. -
#3658 sourcemaps will also now have a
names
field for identifiers to allow debuggers to do re-aliasing of mangled identifiers. -
#3518 For spec compilancy, we now will throw on a file with multiple export default.
- #3527 Fix class inheritance in IE <=10 without
loose
mode. - #3644 Support the
ignore
config option in.babelrc
. - #3655 Flow-only class props were not be stripped without

Hi again, just fixing up logic from the backwards-compatibility fix which broke options in presets. Also added more tests and will update Babel to use the new preset options after this release.

,babel-preset-es2015
- #3638 [Bug Fix] option manager: val = val.buildPreset should be before the check if the preset supports options (@christophehurpeau)
We had a regression in our new [email protected] that made it unexpectedly backward-incompatible. This release introduces a new alternative plugin-options approach that is uglier but supports backward-compatiblity. Ideally new plugins would use the new module.exports = function(babel, options){ }
approach and simple skip supporting babel-core@<6.13.x
.
babel-core
,babel-preset-es2015
- #3635 Fix backward-compatibility of babel-preset-es2015. (@loganfsmyth)
Since the last release we've created https://github.com/babel/notes to track discussions on our slack and high level features/changes that could be added - definetely check it out if you're interested in Babel's development!
Some small but very important additions in this release:
Preset options (babel/notes)
Initially, presets were supposed to be one-off sets of plugins that didn't have any configuration. If you wanted to do something different you would make your own presets. There are > 600 presets on npm now. We want to give users more flexibility in certain cases: like when you want to pass the same option to multiple presets or to remove a default plugin.
This has been rather annoying. Having to install babel-preset-es2015-loose-native-modules
seems rather crazy when it could be an option.
With #3627, you can pass 2 options in:
loose
- Enable "loose" transformations for any plugins in this preset that allow them (Disabled by default).modules
- Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type (Enabled by default to"commonjs"
). Can befalse
to not transform modules, or one of["amd", "umd", "systemjs", "commonjs"]
// for loose and native modules
{
presets: [
["es2015", { "loose": true, "modules": false }]
]
}
- #3613 Move the decorators transform.
- #3626 Make a more informative error message when using the default decorators transform and link to the legacy transform
- #3611 Move class properties transform.

react-constant-elements
plugin to help optimize react more (the plugin wasn't applying to JSX with text).
Also, thanks to @mucsi96 for catching the extraneous code coverage comments we were leaving when publishing!
We are removing/deprecating
babel-regenerator-runtime
in favor of depending on the originalregenerator-runtime
since the differences are resolved. Thanks to (@benjamn) for the suggestion to maintain it (and for originally creating it!).

The fix correctly set this: var _this;
-> var _this = this;
// input

myAsyncMethod = async () => {
console.log(this);
}
}
// output
class MyClass {
constructor() {
var _this = this; // _this wasn't being set to `this`

Babel is now compiled with Babel 6!
TLDR: This fixes the npm deduping issues regarding babel-runtime 5 and 6.
- Because all Babel packages were compiled with Babel 5 and using babel-runtime@5, npm can't dedupe any of them if a consumer of Babel also added a dependency on babel-runtime@6.
Example:
└─┬ [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]
│ ├─┬ [email protected]
│ │ └── [email protected]
│ └── [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]
│ └── [email protected]
└── [email protected]
Now it should be more like:
└─┬ [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]
│ ├─┬ [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]

This bug was causing issues internally because the context system relies on the queues being balanced when deciding what nodes need to be re-processed and which do not. When it becomes imbalanced, nodes can be forgotten or skipped, causing issues like https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T7199 which broke ES6 modules on IE8 with the ES3 transforms.
-
#3420: Invalidate the scope cache when nodes are moved. (@loganfsmyth)
This bug was causing scoping issues in some cases if a node was moved to a new location that was not nested inside a new scope. When this case was hit, the old cached scope would be used, causing issues like https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T7194, https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T6934, and https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T6728.

- #3414: Warn on Flow-based bindings and don't count as a const violation. (@amasad)
We are treating static type information as part of the runtime scope information. So a Flow type declaration was being considered a binding on the scope. This was specifically problematic when we thinking that we're overwriting a binding:
The following code:
declare class foo {}
const foo = 1;
Will result in the error: "foo" is read-only
Since removing support for flow-based bindings would be a breaking change, in this release I'm adding a warning whenever someone tries to use Flow types as bindings.

The following code:
let foo = () => {

};
foo();
Was generating:
var foo = function foo() {
foo = function foo() {};
};
foo();
Notice how the function name foo
was is shadowing the upper scope variable. This was fixed and the generated code now is:
var _foo = function foo() {
_foo = function foo() {};
};
_foo();
Notable changes:
- Various async function fixes (const read-only error, wrong this, etc)
- Proper sourcemaps for import/export statements
- Moved internal Babel cache out of the AST
Move cache into a clearable WeakMap, adds traverse.clearCache
and traverse.copyCache
. This doubles as a bug fix because previously reusable AST Nodes would carry their cache with them even if they're used across multiple files and transform passes.

- #3385 Add support for Flow def-site variance syntax. (@samwgoldman)
// examples
class C<+T,-U> {}
function f<+T,-U>() {}
type T<+T,-U> = {}
This syntax allows you to specify whether a type variable can appear in
a covariant or contravariant position, and is super useful for, say,
Promise
. @samwgoldman can tell you more 😄.
More docs on this in the babel-generator
README
Make sure all existing let/const bindings are removed and replaced with vars after the block-scoping plugin is run.
This fixes: SyntaxError: src/foo.js: "baz" is read-only (This is an error on an internal node. Probably an internal error. Location has been estimated.)
async function foo() {
async function bar() {
const baz = {}; // was creating a read-only error

babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys
is a new plugin that is included in the es2015 preset. It was added since ES5 doesn't allow duplicate properties (it is valid in ES2015 strict mode however).
It will compile objects with duplicate keys to computed properties, which can be compiled with the transform-es2015-computed-properties
plugin.
Example:
// .babelrc
{ "plugins": ["transform-es2015-duplicate-keys"] }
// Input
var x = { a: 5, "a": 6 };
// Output
var x = { a: 5, ["a"]: 6 };

Happy Superbowl Sunday! There's many contributors (17 + core) this release!
This is an experimental feature that will most likely change. Depending on usage/feedback, we will switch the way this is used to instead define a explicit preset-level config flag (rather than the global one below). This will give more control over how you want to use this option.
@DmitrySoshnikov added a new option you can put in your .babelrc
!
{
passPerPreset: true,
presets: [
{
plugins: ['plugin-1']
},
'preset-2',
{
plugins: ['plugin-2']
}
]
}
// this will create 3 traversals
passPerPreset: true
will modify how babel traverses through plugins. Instead of a single traversal in which all plugins/presets are merged together, each preset will get their own traversal.
This allows users to have a specific order to how presets/plugins are applied and can help avoid potential collisions between plugins (and probably some known issues).
@gzzhanghao made some awesome changes to improve our code generator's performance (babel-generator
). The original issue is here.
Based on his test (on parsing jquery.js
), performance improved ~3x.

A big change had to do with keeping this.last
as an instance variable in the buffer instead of this.buf[this.buf.length -1]
.
You can read more about his changes here. Hoping to see more PR's like this!
We will try to setup some perf tests soon to track these stats for the future (or you can help!).

Visiting nodes is now also skipped if the traversal context can detect that the handler is a noop. This sames precious cycles as it avoids constructing traversal paths and creating a new traversal context. See issues #1472 and #1486 for related discussion.

- Remove multiple internal transformers in favor of directly doing things when we need to. Previously, declarations such as
_ref
that we needed to create in specific scopes were done at the very end via the_declarations
transformer. Now, they're done and added to the scope right when they're needed. This gets rid of the crappy_declarations
property on scope nodes and fixes the crappy regenerator bug where it was creating a newBlockStatement
so the declarations were being lost. - Rework transformer traversal optimisation. Turns out that calling a
check
function for every single node in the AST is ridiculously expensive. 300,000 nodes timesed by ~30 transformers meant that it took tens of seconds to perform while it's quicker to just do the unnecessary traversal. Seems obvious in hindsight. - New Feature
