Caveats​

When extending a native class (e.g., class extends Array {}), the super class needs to be wrapped. This is needed to workaround two problems:

  • Babel transpiles classes using SuperClass.apply(/* ... */), but native classes aren't callable and thus throw in this case.
  • Some built-in functions (like Array) always return a new object. Instead of returning it, Babel should treat it as the new this.

The wrapper works on IE11 and every other browser with Object.setPrototypeOf or __proto__ as fallback. There is NO IE ≤ 10 support. If you need IE ≤ 10 it's recommended that you don't extend natives.

Babel needs to statically know if you are extending a built-in class. For this reason, the "mixin pattern" doesn't work:

JavaScript
class Foo extends mixin(Array) {}

function mixin(Super) {
  return class extends Super {
    mix() {}
  };
}

To workaround this limitation, you can add another class in the inheritance chain so that Babel can wrap the native class:

JavaScript
const ExtensibleArray = class extends Array {};

class Foo extends mixin(ExtensibleArray) {}

Examples​

In

JavaScript
class Test {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  logger() {
    console.log("Hello", this.name);
  }
}

Out

JavaScript
function _classCallCheck(instance, Constructor) {
  if (!(instance instanceof Constructor)) {
    throw new TypeError("Cannot call a class as a function");
  }
}

var Test = (function() {
  function Test(name) {
    _classCallCheck(this, Test);

    this.name = name;
  }

  Test.prototype.logger = function logger() {
    console.log("Hello", this.name);
  };

  return Test;
})();

Installation​

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-classes

Usage​

JavaScript
// without options
{
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-transform-classes"]
}

// with options
{
  "plugins": [
    ["@babel/plugin-transform-classes", {
      "loose": true
    }]
  ]
}

Via CLI​

Shell
babel --plugins @babel/plugin-transform-classes script.js

Via Node API​

JavaScript
require("@babel/core").transformSync("code", {
  plugins: ["@babel/plugin-transform-classes"],
});

Options​

loose​

boolean, defaults to false.

警告

Consider migrating to the top level assumptions which offers granular control over various loose mode deductions Babel has applied.

babel.config.json
{
  "assumptions": {
    "constantSuper": true,
    "noClassCalls": true,
    "setClassMethods": true,
    "superIsCallableConstructor": true
  }
}

Method enumerability​

Please note that in loose mode class methods are enumerable. This is not in line with the spec and you may run into issues.

Method assignment​

Under loose mode, methods are defined on the class prototype with simple assignments instead of being defined. This can result in the following not working:

JavaScript
class Foo {
  set bar() {
    throw new Error("foo!");
  }
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  bar() {
    // will throw an error when this method is defined
  }
}

When Bar.prototype.foo is defined it triggers the setter on Foo. This is a case that is very unlikely to appear in production code however it's something to keep in mind.
