# @babel/plugin-transform-proto-to-assign
> This plugin allows Babel to transform all `__proto__` assignments to a method that will do a shallow copy of all properties.
## Detail
This means that the following **will** work:
```javascript
var foo = { a: 1 };
var bar = { b: 2 };
bar.__proto__ = foo;
bar.a; // 1
bar.b; // 2
```
however the following **will not**:
```javascript
var foo = { a: 1 };
var bar = { b: 2 };
bar.__proto__ = foo;
bar.a; // 1
foo.a = 2;
bar.a; // 1 - should be 2 but remember that nothing is bound and it's a straight copy
```
This is a case that you have to be aware of if you intend to use this plugin.
## Example
**In**
```javascript
bar.__proto__ = foo;
```
**Out**
```javascript
var _defaults = ...;
_defaults(bar, foo);
```

```sh
npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-proto-to-assign
