# @babel/plugin-check-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-constants
```
## Usage
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
**.babelrc**
```json
{
"plugins": ["@babel/check-constants"]
}
```
### Via CLI
```sh
babel --plugins @babel/check-constants script.js
```
### Via Node API
```javascript
require("@babel/core").transform("code", {
plugins: ["@babel/check-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-block-scoping`](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-block-scoping/).
