Package description

What is @babel/plugin-transform-async-to-generator?

The @babel/plugin-transform-async-to-generator package is a Babel plugin that transforms async functions into generator functions using the regenerator runtime, which is a part of the Facebook Regenerator project. This transformation allows async functions to be used in environments that do not natively support async/await syntax by converting them into ES2015/ES6 compatible code.

What are @babel/plugin-transform-async-to-generator's main functionalities?

Transform async functions to generators

This feature allows developers to write asynchronous code using the modern async/await syntax and have it transformed into generator functions that are compatible with older JavaScript engines.

async function foo() {
  await bar();
}
// Transforms to:
function foo() {
  return regeneratorRuntime.async(function foo$(_context) {
    while (1) {
      switch (_context.prev = _context.next) {
        case 0:
          _context.next = 2;
          return regeneratorRuntime.awrap(bar());
        case 2:
        case "end":
          return _context.stop();
      }
    }
  }, null, this);
}
