What is @babel/plugin-transform-object-assign?

@babel/plugin-transform-object-assign is a Babel plugin that transforms ES6 Object.assign() calls into a more compatible form for older environments that do not support Object.assign(). This is particularly useful for ensuring code compatibility across different JavaScript environments.

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

Transform Object.assign()

This feature transforms the ES6 Object.assign() method into a compatible form for older JavaScript environments. The code sample demonstrates how Object.assign() is used to merge properties from a source object into a target object.

const target = { a: 1 };
const source = { b: 2 };
const result = Object.assign(target, source);
console.log(result); // { a: 1, b: 2 }
