babel-preset-stage-3

library6.24.1jsnpmunverified

Babel preset that includes all stage 3 (candidate) ECMAScript proposal plugins. Version 6.24.1 is the last stable release; the package has been deprecated in favor of using individual plugins or preset-env. It was originally part of the Babel 6 ecosystem and is rarely updated. For modern projects, use @babel/preset-env with appropriate targets instead of stage presets.

Verified usage

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

preset

✓ module.exports = { presets: ['stage-3'] };

✗ import { presets } from 'babel-preset-stage-3'

The preset is a function, not an object. Use as string or require default.

default

✓ require('babel-preset-stage-3')({ useBuiltIns: false })

✗ require('babel-preset-stage-3').default

The module exports a function directly; no default export.

plugins

✓ const preset = require('babel-preset-stage-3'); console.log(preset.plugins);

✗ const { plugins } = require('babel-preset-stage-3');

Preset function returns an object; accessing .plugins is valid after call.

Basic setup of babel-preset-stage-3 in .babelrc and usage via Node API and CLI.

// .babelrc { "presets": ["stage-3"] } // or via Node API const babel = require('babel-core'); babel.transform('code', { presets: ['stage-3'] }); // then compile npx babel src --out-dir lib

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedStage presets (including stage-3) are deprecated in Babel 7+.

fix

Use @babel/preset-env with appropriate targets or individual plugins like @babel/plugin-transform-object-rest-spread.

affects: >=7.0.0

breakingBabel 6 is no longer maintained; babel-preset-stage-3 only works with Babel 6.

fix

Upgrade to Babel 7+ and replace with @babel/preset-env or specific plugins.

affects: >=7.0.0

gotchaThe preset includes object rest/spread, async functions, etc. which may conflict with other presets or transform settings.

fix

Avoid mixing stage presets with preset-env that also includes those transforms. Prefer using only preset-env.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Plugin 0 specified in "base" provided an invalid property of "default"

Incorrectly importing the preset as default export instead of calling it as a function.

fix

Use require('babel-preset-stage-3') directly, not require(...).default.

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-preset-stage-3'

The package wasn't installed or Babel version mismatch (stage-3 only works with Babel 6).

fix

Run npm install --save-dev babel-preset-stage-3 and ensure Babel 6 is used.

ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined

Stage-3 preset includes async/await transform which requires regenerator runtime.

fix

Install and include babel-polyfill or babel-runtime in your setup.
