Babel v4-v6 Changelog

6.26.3 (2018-04-27)

  • Fixed a small regression from the last release if the output file contains no JS content.

6.26.2 (2018-04-26)

  • Landed #7812 which backported several fixes to make sourcemaps behave better
    • #7312 - Include better mappings for arrow-transformed 'this' and 'arguments'
    • #7378 - Include better mappings for import bindings transformed to member expressions
    • #7761 - Re-implement inputSourceMap merging logic to more accurately reflect mappings

6.26.1 (2018-02-03)

Not planning on supporting 6.x but people keep asking for backports, may do so in the future for specific bugs.

6.26.0 (2017-08-16)

Backports for some folks (also other's when we accidently merged PRs from both 6.x/master) Lesson learned: just use master and backport on another branch.

6.24.0 (2017-03-13)

A quick release for 2 features:

  • Thanks to @rwjblue, there is now a noInterop option for our es2015-modules transform to remove the interopRequireDefault and interopRequireWildcard helpers.

Input

import foo from "foo";
foo;

Regular Output

var _foo = require("foo");
var _foo2 = _interopRequireDefault(_foo);
function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; }
_foo2.default;

Output with option noInterop

"use strict";
var _foo = require("foo");
(0, _foo.default)();

This also helps ember-cli migrate to Babel 6.

  • @izaakschroeder has added dirname to the preset constructor which presets can use to resolve things relative to files.

Example usage of fileContext.dirname in a preset

module.exports = function preset (context, options, fileContext) {
  if (/resolve-addons-relative-to-file$/.test(fileContext.dirname)) {
    return {
      plugins: ['plugin-here'],
    };
  }
  return {};
};

This will help out with reusing a browserslist file for babel-preset-env and for plugins like https://github.com/tleunen/babel-plugin-module-resolver.

A quick update since it's been over a month already: adds support for shorthand import syntax in Flow + some fixes!

We'll be merging in our current 7.0 PRs on a 7.0 branch soon and I'l be making some more issues (most should be beginner-friendly).

To follow our progress check out our 7.0 milestone, the wiki and upcoming announcements on twitter!

We support stripping out and generating the new shorthand import syntax in Flow (parser support was added in [email protected].

6.21.0 (2016-12-16)

🚀 New Feature

Exposes raw mappings when source map generation is enabled. To avoid the cost of source map generation for consumers of the raw mappings only, .map is changed to a getter that generates the source map lazily on first access.

Raw mappings can be useful for post-processing source maps more efficiently by avoiding one decoding/encoding cycle of the b64 vlq mappings. This will be used in the React Native packager.

let generator = require("babel-generator");
let generated = generator(ast, { sourceMaps: true }, sources);

// generated.rawMappings
[
  {
    name: undefined,
    generated: { line: 1, column: 0 },
    source: "inline",
    original: { line: 1, column: 0 }

<div>{...this.props.children}</div>;
  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-block-scoping, babel-plugin-transform-react-constant-elements, babel-traverse

When multiple declarators are present in a declaration, we want to insert the constant element inside the declaration rather than placing it before because it may rely on a declarator inside that same declaration.

function render() {
  const bar = "bar", renderFoo = () => <foo bar={bar} baz={baz} />, baz = "baz";

  return renderFoo();
}

When block scoped variables caused the block to be wrapped in a closure, the variable bindings remained in parent function scope, which caused the JSX element to be hoisted out of the closure.

function render(flag) {
  if (flag) {
    let bar = "bar";

    [].map(() => bar);

    return <foo bar={bar} />;
  }

  return null;
}

v6.20.1 (2016-12-08)

😢 Regression

Issue: babel#4972

The way that babel/babel#4883 changed visiting SpreadProperty (which didn't need to modified) caused an infinite loop. Added path.stop which ended up not fixing it correctly.

v6.20.0 (2016-12-08)

If you missed it, please check out our latest blog post: The State of Babel. Talks about where we can possibly move forward as a project and how you can help!

You've probably seen this more than a few times and had no idea what it meant...

[BABEL] Note: The code generator has deoptimised the styling of "app.js" as it exceeds the max of "100KB".

Generating code used to get really slow as file size increased. We've mostly fixed that, but we still automatically fall back to compact output on large files. We're going to bump the limit to 500KB and if there aren't issues just remove it.

Ben Newman, @benjamn: wrote Regenerator while at Facebook. It used a bunch of other libraries such as ast-types but has now been rewritten as a standalone Babel plugin (also thanks to Sebastian's previous work in facebook/regenerator#222). We're also moving the implementation of Regenerator back into the original repository since Ben is the creator/maintainer.

🚀 New Feature

  • babel-traverse

v6.19.0 (2016-11-16)

🚀 New Feature

  • babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread
    • #4755 Make the plugin work standalone with parameters/destructuring plugins. (@hzoo)

This rewrite fixes a long standing issue where the object-rest-spread plugin was depending on 2 other plugins to compile RestProperty. This is important given the assumption that plugins should be independent and is vital for the use of babel-preset-env since new environments support destructuring natively.

RestProperty

  • Parameters
function a({ b, ...c }) {}
  • VariableDeclaration
const { a, ...b } = c;
  • ExportNamedDeclaration
export var { a, ...b } = c;
  • CatchClause
try {} catch ({a, ...b}) {}
  • AssignmentExpression
({a, ...b} = c);
  • ForXStatement
for ({a, ...b} of []) {}

SpreadProperty

  • ObjectExpression
var a = { ...b, ...c }
  • babel-plugin-transform-class-properties
    • #4544 Greater spec compliance for class properties with the new spec option. (@motiz88)

Usage

{
  "plugins": [
    ["transform-class-properties", {
      "spec": true
    }]
  ]
}
  • Class properties are compiled to use Object.defineProperty
  • Static fields are now defined even if they are not initialized

In

class Foo {
  static bar;
}

Out

var Foo = function Foo() {
  babelHelpers.classCallCheck(this, Foo);
};

Object.defineProperty(Foo, "bar", {
  enumerable: true,
  writable: true,
  value: undefined
});
  • babel-traverse

We've added 2 similar "ancestry" path methods to path.findParent:

path.isAncestor/path.isDescenant

Usage:

let programPath, numberPath;
traverse(ast, {
  Program(path) { programPath = path; },
  NumberPath(path) { numberPath = path; },
});

programPath.isAncestor(numberPath); // true
numberPath.isDescendant(programPath); // true
  • #4835 Add clearCache and clearPath as separate APIs under traverse. (@boopathi)

Usage:

traverse.clearCache(); // clears both path's and scope cache
traverse.clearCache.clearPath();
traverse.clearCache.clearScope();
  • babel-generator
    • #4827 Add jsonCompatibleStrings option to generator. (@kangax)

Usage:

{
  "generatorOpts": {
    "jsonCompatibleStrings": true // defaults to false
  }
}

Set to true for the generator to use jsesc with "json": true. This will make it print "\u00A9" vs. "©";

Usage:

{
  "generatorOpts": {
    "flowCommaSeparator": true // defaults to false
  }
}

Currently there are 2 supported syntaxes (, and ;) in Flow Object Types. The use of commas is in line with the more popular style and matches how objects are defined in Javascript, making it a bit more natural to write.

var a: { param1: number; param2: string }
var a: { param1: number, param2: string }
  • babel-types
    • #3553 Start babel-types tests, add isNodesEquivalent. (@hzoo)

t.isNodesEquivalent

Usage:

assert(t.isNodesEquivalent(parse("1 + 1"), parse("1+1")) === true);
  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-modules-systemjs
    • #4789 Support import() as contextual import in system module format. (@guybedford)

Support stage-2 import() in systemjs.

It does not compile by default; you'll want to add the stage-2 preset or explicitly include babel-plugin-syntax-dynamic-import.

export function lazyLoadOperation () {
  return import('./x')
  .then(function (x) {
    x.y();
  });
}

// .babelrc
{
  "parserOpts": {
    "plugins": ['dynamicImport']
  }
}
  • babel-helper-builder-react-jsx, babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx

Previously we added a useBuiltIns for object-rest-spread so that it use the native/built in version if you use a polyfill or have it supported natively.

This change just uses the same option from the plugin to be applied with spread inside of jsx.

// in
var div = <Component {...props} foo="bar" />

We've had a few reports of users not wrapping a preset in [] when passing in options so we added an extra error message for this.

ReferenceError: [BABEL] /test.js: Unknown option: base.loose2. Check out http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/options/ for more information about options.

A common cause of this error is the presence of a configuration options object without the corresponding preset name. Example:

Invalid:
  `{ presets: [{option: value}] }`
Valid:
  `{ presets: ["pluginName", {option: value}] }`

For more detailed information on preset configuration, please see http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#pluginpresets-options.

Specification repo: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-iteration

Asynchronous Iteration was already added in 6.16.0 under stage-2 but it was moved to stage-3 at the latest TC-39 meeting.

// async generator syntax
async function* agf() {}
// for-await statement
async function f() {

Babel 6.16: Happy 2nd Birthday 🎂!

👓 Spec Compliancy

    • #3473 via #4576 Implement support for async generator functions and for-await statements. (@zenparsing)

This change implements the async iteration proposal, currently at stage 2 (and pushing to stage 3 at the current TC-39 meeting). It includes the following features:

  • Transforms async generator functions (async function* g() { }) to wrapped generator functions, similar to the current async-to-generator transform.
async function* agf() {
  this;
  await 1;
  yield 2;
  return 3;
}
  • Transforms for-await statements into for loops containing yield expressions.
async function f() {
  for await (let x of y) {
    g(x);
  }
}

Example Usage

async function* genAnswers() {
  var stream = [ Promise.resolve(4), Promise.resolve(9), Promise.resolve(12) ];
  var total = 0;
  for await (let val of stream) {
    total += await val;
    yield total;
  }
}

function forEach(ai, fn) {
  return ai.next().then(function (r) {
    if (!r.done) {
      fn(r);
      return forEach(ai, fn);
    }
  });
}

var output = 0;
return forEach(genAnswers(), function(val) { output += val.value })
.then(function () {
  assert.equal(output, 42);
});
  • babel-core, babel-generator, babel-plugin-transform-class-properties, babel-template, babel-traverse, babel-types

Parser support was added in [email protected] with babel/babylon#121

class Foo {
  [x]
  ['y']
}

class Bar {
  [p]
  [m] () {}
}

Parser support was added in [email protected] with babel/babylon#104

// Example
var a : {| x: number, y: string |} = { x: 0, y: 'foo' };

🚀 New Feature

  • babel-core, babel-generator
    • #3561 babel-core: add options for different parser/generator. (@hzoo)

Babel will now also take the options: parserOpts and generatorOps (as objects).

parserOpts will pass all properties down to the default babylon parser. You can also pass a parser option to substitute for a different parser.

This will allow passing down any of babylon's options:

{
  "parserOpts": {
    "allowImportExportEverywhere": true,
    "allowReturnOutsideFunction": true,
    "sourceType": "module",
    "plugins": ["flow"]
  }
}

Another use case (the main reason for doing this), is to be able to use recast with Babel.

{
  "parserOpts": {
    "parser": "recast"
  },
  "generatorOpts": {
    "generator": "recast"
  }
}

useBuiltIns - Do not use Babel's helper's and just transform to use the built-in method (Disabled by default).

{
  "plugins": [

  ]

z = { x, ...y };

z = Object.assign({ x }, y);
  • babel-code-frame
    • #4561 babel-code-frame: add options for linesBefore, linesAfter. (@hzoo)

babel-code-frame is a standalone package that we use in Babel when reporting errors.

Now there is an option to specify the number of lines above and below the error

  1 | class Foo {
> 2 |   constructor()
    |                ^
  3 | }

We previously made presets with commonjs exports

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require("babel-plugin-syntax-trailing-function-commas")
  ]
};

Now you can use export default as well

import transformExponentiationOperator from "babel-plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator";
export default {
  plugins: [
    transformExponentiationOperator
  ]
};

We noticed that we can not make this optimizations if there are function calls or member expressions on the right hand side of the assignment since the function call or the member expression (which might be a getter with side-effect) could potentially change the variables we are assigning to.

[x, y] = [a(), obj.x];
// was tranforming to
x = a();
y = obj.x;
// now transforms to
var _ref = [a(), obj.x];

v6.14.0 (2016-08-23) TAKE ME TO FLAVOR TOWN

Lots of stuff in this release!

npm install babel-preset-es2017 --save-dev
// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["es2017"] }
  • #3625, #3673 A new preset called latest that transforms ES2015+ (currently ES2015, ES2016, ES2017). You can also pass options down to the es2015 preset.

We also will be working on getting a target/env (autoprefixer) preset soon.

npm install babel-preset-latest --save-dev
// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["latest"] }
// with options
{ "presets": [
  ["latest", {
    "es2015": {
      "modules": false
    }
  }]
] }

spec for arrow functions uses .bind(this), instead of renaming, to make this available inside the transformed function. It also adds a runtime check to make sure they are not instantiated (since they transform into bound regular functions). spec for template literals wraps all expressions in String rather than simple string concatenation.

// .babelrc

  "presets": [
    ["es2015", { "spec": true }]

We had a regression in our new [email protected] that made it unexpectedly backward-incompatible. This release introduces a new alternative plugin-options approach that is uglier but supports backward-compatiblity. Ideally new plugins would use the new module.exports = function(babel, options){ } approach and simple skip supporting babel-core@<6.13.x.

v6.13.0 (2016-08-04)

Since the last release we've created https://github.com/babel/notes to track discussions on our slack and high level features/changes that could be added - definetely check it out if you're interested in Babel's development!

Some small but very important additions in this release:

Preset options (babel/notes)

Initially, presets were supposed to be one-off sets of plugins that didn't have any configuration. If you wanted to do something different you would make your own presets. There are > 600 presets on npm now. We want to give users more flexibility in certain cases: like when you want to pass the same option to multiple presets or to remove a default plugin.

loose and modules options for babel-preset-es2015 (#3331, #3627)

This has been rather annoying. Having to install babel-preset-es2015-loose-native-modules seems rather crazy when it could be an option.

With #3627, you can pass 2 options in:

  • loose - Enable "loose" transformations for any plugins in this preset that allow them (Disabled by default).
  • modules - Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type (Enabled by default to "commonjs"). Can be false to not transform modules, or one of ["amd", "umd", "systemjs", "commonjs"]
// for loose and native modules
{
  presets: [
    ["es2015", { "loose": true, "modules": false }]
  ]
}

Fixup missing dependency.

Bug Fix

  • babel-runtime: Fix an issue with getting Cannot find module 'regenerator-runtime' because it was set as a devDependency instead of a dependency.

6.9.1 (2016-05-29)

Just 2 fixes this release!

  • A class property fix (set this correctly when using async arrow function class properties without a super class).
  • A fix for react-constant-elements plugin to help optimize react more (the plugin wasn't applying to JSX with text).

Also, thanks to @mucsi96 for catching the extraneous code coverage comments we were leaving when publishing!

We are removing/deprecating babel-regenerator-runtime in favor of depending on the original regenerator-runtime since the differences are resolved. Thanks to (@benjamn) for the suggestion to maintain it (and for originally creating it!).

Bug Fix

  • babel-core
    • #3508 Assign _this to this when there is no Superclass in a Class when using class properties. Fixes T7364. (@ehjay)

The fix correctly set this: var _this; -> var _this = this;

// input
class MyClass {
  myAsyncMethod = async () => {
    console.log(this);
  }
}

// output
class MyClass {
  constructor() {
    var _this = this; // _this wasn't being set to `this`

      console.log(_this);
    });
  }

JSX with text in it was not being hoisted as other constant elements.

// input
var Foo = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return <div>Text</div>; // text wasn't considered constant
  }
});

// output
var _ref = <div>Text</div>;

var Foo = React.createClass({

6.8.0 (2016-05-02)

Babel is now compiled with Babel 6!

Why this is relevant

TLDR: This fixes the npm deduping issues regarding babel-runtime 5 and 6.

  • Because all Babel packages were compiled with Babel 5 and using babel-runtime@5, npm can't dedupe any of them if a consumer of Babel also added a dependency on babel-runtime@6.

Example:

└─┬ [email protected]
  ├─┬ [email protected]
  │ ├─┬ [email protected]
  │ │ └── [email protected]
  │ └── [email protected]
  ├─┬ [email protected]
  │ └── [email protected]
  └── [email protected]

Now it should be more like:

└─┬ [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected]
  ├─┬ [email protected]
  │ ├─┬ [email protected]
  ├─┬ [email protected]

Flow fix, mention babylon move

Bug Fix

  • babel-traverse
    • #3414: Warn on Flow-based bindings and don't count as a const violation. (@amasad)

We are treating static type information as part of the runtime scope information. So a Flow type declaration was being considered a binding on the scope. This was specifically problematic when we thinking that we're overwriting a binding:

The following code:

declare class foo {}
const foo = 1;

Will result in the error: "foo" is read-only

Since removing support for flow-based bindings would be a breaking change, in this release I'm adding a warning whenever someone tries to use Flow types as bindings.

6.7.1 (2016-03-09)

Bug Fix

  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-block-scoping
    • #3411 Fixes T7197: Move bindings without losing any information.

The following code:

let foo = () => {
  foo = () => { };
};

foo();

Was generating:

var foo = function foo() {
  foo = function foo() {};
};

foo();

Notice how the function name foo was is shadowing the upper scope variable. This was fixed and the generated code now is:

var _foo = function foo() {
  _foo = function foo() {};
};

_foo();

6.7.0 (2016-03-08)

Notable changes:

  • Various async function fixes (const read-only error, wrong this, etc)
  • Proper sourcemaps for import/export statements
  • Moved internal Babel cache out of the AST

New Feature

  • babel-traverse

Move cache into a clearable WeakMap, adds traverse.clearCache and traverse.copyCache. This doubles as a bug fix because previously reusable AST Nodes would carry their cache with them even if they're used across multiple files and transform passes.

  async function bar() {

// fixes

  static async method2() {
    setTimeout(async (arg) => {
      console.log(this); // was showing undefined with arg
    });

    });
  }
}
  • babel-helper-remap-async-to-generator, babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator, babel-plugin-transform-async-to-module-method

// input
var foo = async function bar() {
  console.log(bar);
};


// before
var foo = function () {
  var ref = babelHelpers.asyncToGenerator(function* () {

core-js

  • core-js was updated to ^2.1.0.

New Feature

New plugin babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys
  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys, babel-preset-es2015

babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys is a new plugin that is included in the es2015 preset. It was added since ES5 doesn't allow duplicate properties (it is valid in ES2015 strict mode however).

It will compile objects with duplicate keys to computed properties, which can be compiled with the transform-es2015-computed-properties plugin.

Example:

// .babelrc
{ "plugins": ["transform-es2015-duplicate-keys"] }
// Input
var x = { a: 5, "a": 6 };
// Output
var x = { a: 5, ["a"]: 6 };
New globals option for transform-es2015-modules-umd
// Adds a new plugin option to let you override the names of globals
// .babelrc
{
  "plugins": [
    ["transform-es2015-modules-umd", {
      "globals": {
        "es6-promise": "Promise"
      }
    }]
  ]
}

6.5.0 (2016-02-07)

Happy Superbowl Sunday! There's many contributors (17 + core) this release!

A traversal per preset (Experimental)

This is an experimental feature that will most likely change. Depending on usage/feedback, we will switch the way this is used to instead define a explicit preset-level config flag (rather than the global one below). This will give more control over how you want to use this option.

@DmitrySoshnikov added a new option you can put in your .babelrc!

{
  passPerPreset: true,
  presets: [
    {
      plugins: ['plugin-1']
    },
    'preset-2',
    {
      plugins: ['plugin-2']
    }
  ]
}
// this will create 3 traversals

passPerPreset: true will modify how babel traverses through plugins. Instead of a single traversal in which all plugins/presets are merged together, each preset will get their own traversal.

This allows users to have a specific order to how presets/plugins are applied and can help avoid potential collisions between plugins (and probably some known issues).

More Speeeeeeed

@gzzhanghao made some awesome changes to improve our code generator's performance (babel-generator). The original issue is here.

Based on his test (on parsing jquery.js), performance improved ~3x.

===== origin/master (ms) =====
babylon 265
babel generator 2238 <-- old
acorn 107
escodegen 355
esprima 95
escodegen 322
===== Optimized (ms) =====
babylon 296
babel generator 662 <-- new
acorn 113
escodegen 355
esprima 106
escodegen 317

A big change had to do with keeping this.last as an instance variable in the buffer instead of this.buf[this.buf.length -1].

You can read more about his changes here. Hoping to see more PR's like this!

We will try to setup some perf tests soon to track these stats for the future (or you can help!).

    • #3285 Hoist the current file name (an absolute path) for transform-react-jsx-source . (@frantic)

This plugin (useful for tooling) will turn

// this/file.js
<sometag />

into

var _jsxFileName = "this/file.js"; // the output will be an absolute path
var x = <sometag __source={{
  fileName: _jsxFileName,
  lineNumber: 1
