How do I configure Babel for my JavaScript project?

To configure Babel, you'll need to create a .babelrc file or use the babel.config.js file. What specific features do you need?

I want to use ES6 features and also support older browsers.

You can use the presets '@babel/preset-env' for ES6 and configure it to target specific browsers. Would you like help with the configuration?

Yes, please provide an example of the configuration.

Here's a basic example:

{
  "presets": [
    ["@babel/preset-env", {
      "targets": {
        "browsers": ["last 2 versions", "> 1%"]
      }
    }]
  ]
}

This will allow you to use ES6 features while supporting the last two versions of major browsers.

Thanks! How do I install Babel and the preset?

You can install Babel and the preset using npm:

npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/cli @babel/preset-env

Let me know if you need further assistance!
