babel-preset-airbnb

A babel preset for transforming your JavaScript for Airbnb.

Currently contains transforms for all standard syntax that is stage 4 (ES2017) or stage 3, except for the following:

• generators: regenerator-runtime is too heavyweight for our use.
• async/await: regenerator-runtime is too heavyweight for our use, and async-to-promises is not yet complete enough to be safely used.
• SIMD: this is a performance feature, so is pretty pointless to polyfill/transpile.
• lifted template literal restrictions: we do not use tagged template literals, nor implement custom DSLs, otherwise we would enable this.

We have also enabled object rest/spread, although it is only at stage 2. It will hopefully achieve stage 3 soon.
