babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3

What is babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3?

The babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3 package is a plugin for Babel that automatically includes the necessary core-js polyfills based on the code being transpiled and the target environments specified in the Babel configuration. It helps developers to use modern JavaScript features without worrying about the support in older environments, as it takes care of loading the necessary shims and polyfills.
