@babel/plugin-transform-class-static-block

信息

This plugin is included in @babel/preset-env, in ES2022

A class with a static block will be transformed into a static private property, whose initializer is the static block wrapped in an IIAFE (immediate invoked arrow function expression).

Example

JavaScript

class C {
  static #x = 42;
  static y;
  static {
    try {
      this.y = doSomethingWith(this.#x);
    } catch {
      this.y = "unknown";
    }
  }
}

will be transformed to

JavaScript

class C {
  static #x = 42;
  static y;
  static #_ = (() => {
    try {
      this.y = doSomethingWith(this.#x);
    } catch {
      this.y = "unknown";
    }
  })();
}

Because the output code includes private class properties, if you are already using other class feature plugins (e.g. @babel/plugin-transform-class-properties), be sure to place it before the others.
