# babel-plugin-transform-es2015-classes
|
|
|
|
> Compile ES2015 classes to ES5
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
Built-in classes such as `Date`, `Array`, `DOM` etc cannot be properly subclassed
|
|
due to limitations in ES5 (for the [es2015-classes](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-es2015-classes) plugin).
|
|
You can try to use [babel-plugin-transform-builtin-extend](https://github.com/loganfsmyth/babel-plugin-transform-builtin-extend) based on `Object.setPrototypeOf` and `Reflect.construct`, but it also has some limitations.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es2015-classes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
**.babelrc**
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// without options
|
|
{
|
|
"plugins": ["transform-es2015-classes"]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// with options
|
|
{
|
|
"plugins": [
|
|
["transform-es2015-classes", {
|
|
"loose": true
|
|
}]
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Via CLI
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
babel --plugins transform-es2015-classes script.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Via Node API
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
require("babel-core").transform("code", {
|
|
plugins: ["transform-es2015-classes"]
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### `loose`
|
|
|
|
`boolean`, defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
#### Method enumerability
|
|
|
|
Please note that in loose mode class methods **are** enumerable. This is not in line
|
|
with the spec and you may run into issues.
|
|
|
|
#### Method assignment
|
|
|
|
Under loose mode, methods are defined on the class prototype with simple assignments
|
|
instead of being defined. This can result in the following not working:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
class Foo {
|
|
set bar() {
|
|
throw new Error("foo!");
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
class Bar extends Foo {
|
|
bar() {
|
|
// will throw an error when this method is defined
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When `Bar.prototype.foo` is defined it triggers the setter on `Foo`. This is a
|
|
case that is very unlikely to appear in production code however it's something
|
|
to keep in mind.
