What is @babel/runtime-corejs2?

@babel/runtime-corejs2 is a library that provides a runtime for Babel that includes polyfills for ECMAScript features using core-js@2. It helps to avoid code duplication and reduce the size of the compiled code by providing helpers and polyfills as separate modules.

What are @babel/runtime-corejs2's main functionalities?

Polyfilling ECMAScript features

This feature allows you to polyfill ECMAScript features like Map and Set, ensuring compatibility with older environments that do not support these features natively.

import 'core-js/es6/map';
import 'core-js/es6/set';

const map = new Map();
const set = new Set();

Helper functions

This feature provides helper functions like classCallCheck to ensure that classes are instantiated correctly, which is useful for maintaining compatibility with older JavaScript environments.

import _classCallCheck from '@babel/runtime-corejs2/helpers/classCallCheck';

class MyClass {
  constructor() {
    _classCallCheck(this, MyClass);
  }
}

Async/Await support

This feature provides support for async/await syntax by transforming it into generator functions, which are compatible with older JavaScript environments.

import _asyncToGenerator from '@babel/runtime-corejs2/helpers/asyncToGenerator';
import regeneratorRuntime from 'regenerator-runtime';

const asyncFunction = _asyncToGenerator(function* () {
  const result = yield fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
  return result.json();
});

asyncFunction().then(data => console.log(data));
