What is @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind?

@babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind is a Babel plugin that allows you to use the function bind syntax in your JavaScript code. This syntax is a proposed feature for ECMAScript that allows you to bind a function to a specific context (this value) more succinctly.

What are @babel/plugin-syntax-function-bind's main functionalities?

Function Bind Syntax

This feature allows you to use the `::` operator to bind a function to a specific context. In this example, `obj::getX` binds the `getX` function to the `obj` object, so when `boundGetX` is called, it returns `42`.

const obj = { x: 42 };
const getX = function() { return this.x; };
const boundGetX = obj::getX;
console.log(boundGetX()); // 42
