## Caveats
|
6
|
|
7
|
Built-in classes such as `Date`, `Array`, `DOM` etc cannot be properly subclassed
|
8
|
due to limitations in ES5 (for the [es2015-classes](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-es2015-classes) plugin).
|
9
|
You can try to use [babel-plugin-transform-builtin-extend](https://github.com/loganfsmyth/babel-plugin-transform-builtin-extend) based on `Object.setPrototypeOf` and `Reflect.construct`, but it also has some limitations.

## Installation
|
12
|
|
13
|
```sh

|
```

## Usage
|
18
|
|
19
|
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
|
20
|
|
21
|
**.babelrc**
|
22
|
|
23
|
```js
|
24
|
// without options
|
25
|
{
|
26
|
"plugins": ["transform-es2015-classes"]
|
27
|
}
|
28
|
|
29
|
// with options
|
30
|
{
|
31
|
"plugins": [
|
32
|
["transform-es2015-classes", {
|
33
|
"loose": true
|
34
|
}]
|
35
|
]
|
36
|
}
|
37
|
```
|
38
|
|
39
|
### Via CLI
|
40
|
|
41
|
```sh
|
42
|
babel --plugins transform-es2015-classes script.js
|
43
|
```
|
44
|
|
45
|
### Via Node API
|
46
|
|
47
|
```javascript
|
48
|
require("babel-core").transform("code", {
|
49
|
plugins: ["transform-es2015-classes"]
|
50
|
});
|
51
|
```
|
52
|
|
53
|
## Options
|
54
|
|
55
|
### `loose`
|
56
|
|
57
|
`boolean`, defaults to `false`.
|
58
|
|
59
|
#### Method enumerability
|
60
|
|
61
|
Please note that in loose mode class methods **are** enumerable. This is not in line
|
62
|
with the spec and you may run into issues.
|
63
|
|
64
|
#### Method assignment
|
65
|
|
66
|
Under loose mode, methods are defined on the class prototype with simple assignments
|
67
|
instead of being defined. This can result in the following not working:
|
68
|
|
69
|
```javascript
|
70
|
class Foo {
|
71
|
set bar() {
|
72
|
throw new Error("foo!");
|
73
|
}
|
74
|
}
|
75
|
|
76
|
class Bar extends Foo {
|
77
|
bar() {
|
78
|
// will throw an error when this method is defined
|
79
|
}
|
80
|
}
|
81
|
```
|
82
|
|
83
|
When `Bar.prototype.foo` is defined it triggers the setter on `Foo`. This is a
|
84
|
case that is very unlikely to appear in production code however it's something
|
85
|
to keep in mind.
