# babel-preset-react
> Babel preset for all React plugins.
This preset always includes the following plugins:
- [syntax-jsx](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/syntax-jsx/)
- [transform-react-jsx](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-jsx/)
- [transform-react-display-name](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-display-name/)
And with the `development` option:
- [transform-react-jsx-self](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-jsx-self/)
- [transform-react-jsx-source](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-jsx-source/)
> Note: Flow syntax support is no longer enabled in v7. For that, you will need to add the [Flow preset](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-flow/).
## Install
> You can also check out the React [Getting Started page](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html)
> For more info, check out the setup page on the [cli](/docs/setup/) and the [usage](/docs/usage/cli/) docs.
Install the CLI and this preset
```sh
npm install --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-react
```
Make a .babelrc config file with the preset
```sh
echo '{ "presets": ["react"] }' > .babelrc
```
Create a file to run on
```sh
echo '<h1>Hello, world!</h1>' > index.js
```
View the output
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/babel index.js
```
## Usage
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
**.babelrc**
```json
{
"presets": ["react"]
}
```
### Via CLI
```sh
babel script.js --presets react
```
### Via Node API
```javascript
require("babel-core").transform("code", {
presets: ["react"]
});
```
## Options
### `development`
`boolean`, defaults to `false`.
Toggles plugins that aid in development, such as [`babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx-self`](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-jsx-self/) and [`babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx-source`](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-react-jsx-source/).
This is useful when combined with either a `babelrc.js` or [env option in a .babelrc](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/#env-option) configuration:
#### babelrc.js
```js
module.exports = {
presets: [
["react", {
development: process.env.BABEL_ENV === "development"
}],
],
}
```
#### .babelrc
> Note: the `env` option will likely get deprecated soon
```json
{
"presets": ["react"],
"env": {
"development": {
"presets": [
["react", { "development": true }]
]
}
}
}
```
