What is @babel/helper-define-map?

The @babel/helper-define-map package is a helper module used by Babel plugins to define a map of properties on a given object. It is typically used to generate the definitions for an object's methods or properties in a way that is compatible with Babel's internal AST structures.

What are @babel/helper-define-map's main functionalities?

Define properties on an object

This feature allows you to define methods or properties on an object within the Babel transformation process. The code sample represents an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) structure that defines a method named 'methodName' on an object.

{"type":"ObjectExpression","properties":[{"key":{"type":"Identifier","name":"methodName"},"value":{"type":"FunctionExpression","params":[],"body":{"type":"BlockStatement","body":[]},"generator":false,"async":false},"kind":"method"}]}
