Intro
Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version.
In
// ES2020 nullish coalescing
function greet(input) {
return input ?? "Hello world";
}
Out
function greet(input) {
return input != null ? input : "Hello world";
}
Try it out at our REPL.
