Helper function to remap async functions to generators
The @babel/helper-remap-async-to-generator package is a part of the Babel ecosystem that assists in transforming async functions into generator functions along with a regenerator runtime. This transformation is crucial for supporting async/await syntax in environments that do not natively support these features.
Transformation of async functions to generator functions
This feature allows developers to write modern async/await syntax and compile it down to ES2015 generator functions, ensuring compatibility with older JavaScript engines.
async function fetchData() {\n return await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');\n}\n// Transforms to:\nfunction fetchData() {\n return _asyncToGenerator(function* () {\n return yield fetch('https://api.example.com/data');\n })();\n}Similar to @babel/helper-remap-async-to-generator, regenerator-runtime provides a runtime needed to support the generator functions in environments that do not support modern JavaScript async/await syntax. It is often used together with Babel's transformation plugins.
This package is a Babel plugin that transforms async functions into generator functions, similar to what @babel/helper-remap-async-to-generator does but as a standalone Babel plugin. It allows for more direct integration into Babel's plugin system compared to using a helper package.
