What is @babel/plugin-transform-classes?

The @babel/plugin-transform-classes package is a plugin for Babel that transforms ES2015+ class syntax into equivalent ES5 code. This is useful for ensuring compatibility with environments that do not support the latest JavaScript features.

What are @babel/plugin-transform-classes's main functionalities?

Class transformation

Transforms ES2015+ class syntax into equivalent ES5 constructor functions with prototype methods.

{"class MyClass { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } greet() { return 'Hello, ' + this.name; } } }

Super calls

Handles 'super' calls and transforms them into appropriate ES5 code that calls the parent class constructor or methods.

{"class ChildClass extends ParentClass { constructor(name) { super(name); } } }

Static methods

Transforms static methods in classes to static methods on the constructor function in ES5.

{"class MyClass { static myStaticMethod() { return 'I am static'; } } }

Instance properties

Transforms class instance properties into assignments within the constructor function.

{"class MyClass { myProperty = 'default value'; } }
