library11.0.0jsnpmunverified

v11.0.0 — Babel preset that transpiles only the ES2015 features missing in Node 6.x (V8 v5.x, ~93% coverage). Unlike the full ES2015 preset, this complements native V8 support, resulting in faster builds and execution. The preset includes only two plugins: trailing function commas and CommonJS modules. Last updated in 2017; no newer releases for current Node versions.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

preset (via config)

✓ {"presets": ["node6"]}

✗ {"presets": ["babel-preset-node6"]}

In .babelrc or babel config, you can just use the short name "node6" without the prefix.

preset (via Node API)

✓ require("babel-core").transform("code", { presets: ["node6"] })

✗ require("babel-preset-node6")

The preset is not directly required; it is passed as a string in the presets array.

preset (via CLI)

✓ babel script.js --presets node6

✗ babel script.js --presets babel-preset-node6

CLI presets also use short name.

Minimal .babelrc configuration to transpile only ES2015 features missing in Node 6.x.

{ "presets": ["node6"] }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedNode 6.x reached End of Life in April 2019. This preset is not maintained and should not be used for new projects.

fix

Use a modern Babel preset like @babel/preset-env with target 'node 10' or higher.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaDoes not include full ES2015 coverage; only trailing commas and CommonJS modules are transpiled. Other missing features (e.g., Symbol, Proxy) are not polyfilled.

fix

Add babel-polyfill or @babel/polyfill for complete ES2015 support.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingRequires Babel 6.x. Incompatible with Babel 7.x (now @babel/... packages).

fix

Use @babel/preset-env with Babel 7 instead.

affects: >=0.0.0
