Create a new file named babelrc

Here is a basic babelrc file that you can use as a starting point:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"],
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-transform-runtime"]
}

Let me explain what each part of this file does:

• presets: This is an array of preset configurations that Babel will use to transform your code. In this case, we're using two presets:
  • @babel/preset-env: This preset allows Babel to automatically determine the minimum set of features required to support your code, based on the browsers and environments you're targeting.
  • @babel/preset-react: This preset adds support for React-specific features, such as JSX syntax and React hooks.
• plugins: This is an array of plugin configurations that Babel will use to transform your code. In this case, we're using one plugin:
  • @babel/plugin-transform-runtime: This plugin allows Babel to use the runtime API, which provides a way to use Babel's built-in functions and variables in your code.

You can customize this file to fit your specific needs by adding or modifying presets and plugins. For example, you might add additional presets or plugins to support other features or libraries.

To use this file, simply create a new file named babelrc in the root of your project directory, and paste the contents above into it. Then, when you run Babel, it will use this configuration file to transform your code.
