Edge Babel

Edge Babel is a centralized Babel Configuration. Part of the Edge Platform.

Features

• React and Flowtype Support baked-in for transpiling JSX and removing non-standard Flowtype definitions.
• Optimizations for React during development (richer debug capabilities) and production (less code).
• Automatic environment specific ES2015/2016/2017 support using Preset Env
• High performance async/await transpilation using Fast Async and nodeent
• Support for new dynamic import() statement which is used for dynamic chunk creation in Webpack since version 2.
• Local module support for easily referencing sources inside the src folder of the project using the module resolver plugin.
• Support for converting often times used upcoming ES standards like class properties and object rest spread.
• Prefers external polyfills and helpers instead of baked-in code which is especially beneficial for caching and code splitting.
• Lodash Plugin to allow cherry-picking of more tranditionally exported libraries like lodash, async, rambda and recompose.
• The transpiler config ignores Generators. As transpiling these results into super slow code and async/await is available the preset prefers to use this instead of "regenerator".
