@babel/plugin-transform-arrow-functions
Advanced tools
The @babel/plugin-transform-arrow-functions package is a plugin for Babel, a JavaScript compiler, that transforms arrow function syntax into function expressions. This transformation is particularly useful for ensuring compatibility with environments that do not support ES6 arrow functions.
Transform arrow functions to function expressions
Converts ES6 arrow functions into equivalent ES5 function expressions. For example, the arrow function `() => 5` gets transformed into a function expression `function() { return 5; }`.
"use strict";\n\nvar a = function a() {\n return 5;\n};"This package is a Babel preset for all ES2015 plugins, including the transformation of arrow functions. It's broader in scope, offering transformations for a full range of ES2015 features, not just arrow functions.
