Apply ES2015 function.name semantics to all functions
The @babel/plugin-transform-function-name package is a plugin for Babel, a JavaScript compiler, that helps in transforming anonymous function expressions into named function expressions. This can be particularly useful for debugging purposes, as it makes stack traces more informative by providing names for otherwise anonymous functions.
Naming anonymous function expressions
Automatically assigns names to anonymous function expressions, making them easier to identify in stack traces and debugging tools.
const square = function(x) { return x * x; }; // Transforms to: const square = function square(x) { return x * x; };Enhancing debugging
Improves the debugging experience by ensuring that functions are named, which helps in identifying them in call stacks.
let add = function(a, b) { return a + b; }; // Transforms to: let add = function add(a, b) { return a + b; };Transforms ES2015 arrow functions into function expressions. Similar in that it transforms function syntax for broader compatibility and improved debugging, but focuses on arrow functions instead of naming functions.
Transforms default parameters and rest parameters in functions to ES5. It's similar because it also deals with transforming aspects of functions for compatibility and optimization, but it focuses on parameters rather than naming.
