babel-types 6.14.0

v6.14.0

on Node.js NPM

v6.14.0 (2016-08-23) TAKE ME TO FLAVOR TOWN

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 the es2015 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 the es2015 preset since the arrow function/template string plugins support this option.

spec for arrow functions adds a runtime check to make sure arrow functions are not instantiated (since they transform into normal functions).
spec for template literals wraps all expressions in String 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.

Notable Bug Fixes

• #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 transform-class-properties.
