# babel-plugin-check-es2015-constants Validate ES2015 constants (prevents reassignment of const variables). ## Example **In** ```js const a = 1; a = 2; ``` **Out** ```bash repl: "a" is read-only 1 | const a = 1; > 2 | a = 2; | ^ ``` ## Installation ```sh npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-check-es2015-constants ``` ## Usage ### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended) **.babelrc** ```json { "plugins": ["check-es2015-constants"] } ``` ### Via CLI ```sh babel --plugins check-es2015-constants script.js ``` ### Via Node API ```javascript require("babel-core").transform("code", { plugins: ["check-es2015-constants"] }); ``` ## Note This check will only validate consts. If you need it to compile down to `var` then you must also install and enable [`transform-es2015-block-scoping`](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-es2015-block-scoping/).
