# `@nuxt/babel-preset-app`

> Default babel preset for nuxt

## Usage

This is the default preset used by Nuxt, which is mainly a wrapper around the `@babel/preset-env` preset. It also optionally uses the `@vue/babel-preset-jsx` preset as well as `@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators`, `@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties`, `@babel/plugin-transform-runtime`. Furthermore the preset is adding polyfills.

**Note**: Since `core-js@2` and `core-js@3` are both supported from Babel 7.4.0, we recommend directly adding `core-js` and setting the version via the [`corejs`](#corejs) option.

```sh
yarn add --dev core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3

# or

yarn add --dev core-js@2 @babel/runtime-corejs2

```

Usually, no additional configuration is required. If needed though, there is an option to fine-tune the preset's behavior. Just add the following to `nuxt.config.js`:

```js
babel: {
  presets(env, [ preset, options ]) {
    return [
      [ "@nuxt/babel-preset-app", options ]
    ]
  }
}
```

`env` is an object which contains `envName` (`server`, `client`, `modern`) and all `nuxtEnv` properties (`isDev`, `isServer`, `isClient`, `isModern`, `isLegacy`)

`preset` is the preset package name `@nuxt/babel-preset-app`

`options` is an object with parameters, for example:

```js
const options = {
  useBuiltIns: "entry"
}
```

Below is a list of all available `options` parameters:

There are [detailed docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-preset-env#options) for the parameters of '@babel/preset-env'.

### Example 1. Change targets for server and client respectively

```js
export default {
  build: {
    babel: {
      presets({ envName }) {
        const envTargets = {
          client: { browsers: ["last 2 versions"], ie: 11 },
          server: { node: "current" },
        }
        return [
          [
            "@nuxt/babel-preset-app",
            {
              targets: envTargets[envName]
            }
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Example 2. Use core-js@3

**NOTE**: Make sure that all dependencies have been upgraded to use core-js@3. If core-js@2 and core-js@3 are both dependent, babel may resolve incorrect core-js package which is hoisted by yarn/npm.

```sh
yarn add --dev core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3
```

```js
export default {
  build: {
    babel: {
      // envName: server, client, modern
      presets({ envName }) {
        return [
          [
            '@nuxt/babel-preset-app',
            {
              corejs: { version: 3 }
            }
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
```
