babel-helper-modules

Provides Babel's internal helper functions (like _classCallCheck, _extends, etc.) as individual ES5 modules that can be imported directly. Version 6.0.0 is the latest stable release. Unlike babel-runtime which bundles core-js, this package avoids core-js dependencies, giving users freedom to choose their own polyfill (e.g., @babel/polyfill). Designed to be used with babel-plugin-transform-helper-modules to replace helper calls with direct imports, reducing bundle size and avoiding duplicate helper code. Supports only CommonJS require syntax and is intended for Node/Babel build pipelines.
