I'm working on trying to integrate stylelint into my freshly created Vue project.
I thought this would be a simple case of using the Stylelint Webpack Plugin but when I run yarn serve, any errors completely freeze it with no output. If I run yarn build, the build will fail as intended but will only print "There was a stylelint error".
My vue.config.js is as follows:
const stylelintPlugin = require('stylelint-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new stylelintPlugin({ files: ['**/*.(vue|scss)'] }),
],
},
};
Here are my current versions from package.json:
"#vue/cli-service": "^3.9.0",
"stylelint": "^10.1.0",
"stylelint-config-recommended": "^2.2.0",
"stylelint-scss": "^3.9.2",
While this may come too late, here are working configurations by using stylelint-config-recommended-scss.
It is an extension to the 3rd party stylelint-scss plugin which needs to be installed along with stylelint itself. Also stylelint-webpack-plugin needs to be installed, which seems to have been missing from your setup.
Install dev dependencies:
# First remove an unnecessary one you had (with NPM):
npm uninstall stylelint-config-recommended
# Or with Yarn:
yarn remove stylelint-config-recommended
# Install dev deps with NPM:
npm i -D stylelint stylelint-scss stylelint-config-recommended-scss stylelint-webpack-plugin
# Or with Yarn:
yarn add -D stylelint stylelint-scss stylelint-config-recommended-scss stylelint-webpack-plugin
In your vue.config.js configuration file:
const StyleLintPlugin = require('stylelint-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new StyleLintPlugin({
files: ['src/**/*.{vue,scss}'],
}),
],
},
};
Create a file stylelint.config.js in your project's root folder:
module.exports = {
extends: 'stylelint-config-recommended-scss',
rules: {
'selector-pseudo-element-no-unknown': [
true,
{
ignorePseudoElements: ['v-deep']
}
]
}
};
In package.json you can add this lint:scss command (run by npm run lint:scss). It tries to run autofix on all rules, but please note that not all rules can be autofixed.
In that case the script will output a list of error lines and exit on error. You need to go and fix these by hand, and then re-run the script to see that the errors got fixed:
{
"scripts": {
"lint:scss": "stylelint ./src/**/*.{vue,scss} --fix"
}
}
Hope this helps! Please add a comment if I missed something.
my configuration is the same like ux.engineer written
but when i try run scripts npm run lint:scss then I have
node_modules/stylelint/node_modules/get-stdin/index.js:13
for await (const chunk of stdin) {
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word
it turned out that I had the wrong (old) node version, so pay attention for that
I'm trying to use async/await from scratch on Babel 6, but I'm getting regeneratorRuntime is not defined.
.babelrc file
{
"presets": [ "es2015", "stage-0" ]
}
package.json file
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.0.20",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",
"babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.0.15"
}
.js file
"use strict";
async function foo() {
await bar();
}
function bar() { }
exports.default = foo;
Using it normally without the async/await works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
babel-polyfill (deprecated as of Babel 7.4) is required. You must also install it in order to get async/await working.
npm i -D babel-core babel-polyfill babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-stage-0 babel-loader
package.json
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.0.20",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.0.16",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",
"babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.0.15"
}
.babelrc
{
"presets": [ "es2015", "stage-0" ]
}
.js with async/await (sample code)
"use strict";
export default async function foo() {
var s = await bar();
console.log(s);
}
function bar() {
return "bar";
}
In the startup file
require("babel-core/register");
require("babel-polyfill");
If you are using webpack you need to put it as the first value of your entry array in your webpack configuration file (usually webpack.config.js), as per #Cemen comment:
module.exports = {
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './test.js'],
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx?$/, loader: 'babel', }
]
}
};
If you want to run tests with babel then use:
mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register --require babel-polyfill
Note
If you're using babel 7, the package has been renamed to #babel/plugin-transform-runtime.
Besides polyfill, I use babel-plugin-transform-runtime. The plugin is described as:
Externalize references to helpers and builtins, automatically polyfilling your code without polluting globals. What does this actually mean though? Basically, you can use built-ins such as Promise, Set, Symbol etc as well use all the Babel features that require a polyfill seamlessly, without global pollution, making it extremely suitable for libraries.
It also includes support for async/await along with other built-ins of ES 6.
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-runtime
In .babelrc, add the runtime plugin
{
"plugins": [
["transform-runtime", {
"regenerator": true
}]
]
}
Babel 7 Users
I had some trouble getting around this since most information was for prior babel versions. For Babel 7, install these two dependencies:
npm install --save #babel/runtime
npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
And, in .babelrc, add:
{
"presets": ["#babel/preset-env"],
"plugins": [
["#babel/transform-runtime"]
]
}
Update
It works if you set the target to Chrome. But it might not work for other targets, please refer to: https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env/issues/112
So this answer is NOT quite proper for the original question. I will keep it here as a reference to babel-preset-env.
A simple solution is to add import 'babel-polyfill' at the beginning of your code.
If you use webpack, a quick solution is to add babel-polyfill as shown below:
entry: {
index: ['babel-polyfill', './index.js']
}
I believe I've found the latest best practice.
Check this project: https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env
yarn add --dev babel-preset-env
Use the following as your babel configuration:
{
"presets": [
["env", {
"targets": {
"browsers": ["last 2 Chrome versions"]
}
}]
]
}
Then your app should be good to go in the last 2 versions of Chrome browser.
You can also set Node as the targets or fine-tune the browsers list according to https://github.com/ai/browserslist
Tell me what, don't tell me how.
I really like babel-preset-env's philosophy: tell me which environment you want to support, do NOT tell me how to support them. It's the beauty of declarative programming.
I've tested async await and they DO work. I don't know how they work and I really don't want to know. I want to spend my time on my own code and my business logic instead. Thanks to babel-preset-env, it liberates me from the Babel configuration hell.
Update: The Babel 7 post also has a more in-depth answer.
Babel 7.4.0 or later (core-js 2 / 3)
As of Babel 7.4.0, #babel/polyfill is deprecated.
In general, there are two ways to install polyfills/regenerator: via global namespace (Option 1) or as ponyfill (Option 2, without global pollution).
Option 1: #babel/preset-env
presets: [
["#babel/preset-env", {
"useBuiltIns": "usage",
"corejs": 3, // or 2,
"targets": {
"firefox": "64", // or whatever target to choose .
},
}]
]
will automatically use regenerator-runtime and core-js according to your target. No need to import anything manually. Don't forget to install runtime dependencies:
npm i --save regenerator-runtime core-js
Alternatively, set useBuiltIns: "entry" and import it manually:
import "regenerator-runtime/runtime";
import "core-js/stable"; // if polyfills are also needed
Option 2: #babel/transform-runtime with #babel/runtime
This alternative has no global scope pollution and is suitable for libraries.
{
"plugins": [
[
"#babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
{
"regenerator": true,
"corejs": 3 // or 2; if polyfills needed
...
}
]
]
}
Install it:
npm i -D #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
npm i #babel/runtime
If corejs polyfill is used, you replace #babel/runtime with #babel/runtime-corejs2 (for "corejs": 2) or #babel/runtime-corejs3 (for "corejs": 3).
Alternatively, if you don't need all the modules babel-polyfill provides, you can just specify babel-regenerator-runtime in your webpack config:
module.exports = {
entry: ['babel-regenerator-runtime', './test.js'],
// ...
};
When using webpack-dev-server with HMR, doing this reduced the number of files it has to compile on every build by quite a lot. This module is installed as part of babel-polyfill so if you already have that you're fine, otherwise you can install it separately with npm i -D babel-regenerator-runtime.
My simple solution:
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-runtime
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator
.babelrc
{
"presets": [
["latest", {
"es2015": {
"loose": true
}
}],
"react",
"stage-0"
],
"plugins": [
"transform-runtime",
"transform-async-to-generator"
]
}
This error is caused when async/await functions are used without the proper Babel plugins. As of March 2020, the following should be all you need to do. (#babel/polyfill and a lot of the accepted solutions have been deprecated in Babel. Read more in the Babel docs.)
In the command line, type:
npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
In your babel.config.js file, add this plugin #babel/plugin-transform-runtime. Note: The below example includes the other presets and plugins I have for a small React/Node/Express project I worked on recently:
module.exports = {
presets: ['#babel/preset-react', '#babel/preset-env'],
plugins: ['#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties',
'#babel/plugin-transform-runtime'],
};
babel-regenerator-runtime is now deprecated, instead one should use regenerator-runtime.
To use the runtime generator with webpack and babel v7:
install regenerator-runtime:
npm i -D regenerator-runtime
And then add within webpack configuration :
entry: [
'regenerator-runtime/runtime',
YOUR_APP_ENTRY
]
Update your .babelrc file according to the following examples, it will work.
If you are using #babel/preset-env package
{
"presets": [
[
"#babel/preset-env", {
"targets": {
"node": "current"
}
}
]
]
}
or if you are using babel-preset-env package
{
"presets": [
[
"env", {
"targets": {
"node": "current"
}
}
]
]
}
As of Oct 2019 this worked for me:
Add this to the preset.
"presets": [
"#babel/preset-env"
]
Then install regenerator-runtime using npm.
npm i regenerator-runtime
And then in your main file use: (this import is used only once)
import "regenerator-runtime/runtime";
This is will enable you to use async awaits in your file and remove the regenerator error
Be careful of hoisted functions
I had both my 'polyfill import' and my 'async function' in the same file, however I was using the function syntax that hoists it above the polyfill which would give me the ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined error.
Change this code
import "babel-polyfill"
async function myFunc(){ }
to this
import "babel-polyfill"
var myFunc = async function(){}
to prevent it being hoisted above the polyfill import.
If using babel-preset-stage-2 then just have to start the script with --require babel-polyfill.
In my case this error was thrown by Mocha tests.
Following fixed the issue
mocha \"server/tests/**/*.test.js\" --compilers js:babel-register --require babel-polyfill
I had this problem in Chrome. Similar to RienNeVaPlu͢s’s answer, this solved it for me:
npm install --save-dev regenerator-runtime
Then in my code:
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime';
Happy to avoid the extra 200 kB from babel-polyfill.
I used tip from https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/9849#issuecomment-592668815 and added targets: { esmodules: true,} to my babel.config.js.
module.exports = {
presets: [
[
'#babel/preset-env',
{
targets: {
esmodules: true,
},
},
],
],
}
You're getting an error because async/await use generators, which are an ES2016 feature, not ES2015. One way to fix this is to install the babel preset for ES2016 (npm install --save babel-preset-es2016) and compile to ES2016 instead of ES2015:
"presets": [
"es2016",
// etc...
]
As the other answers mention, you can also use polyfills (though make sure you load the polyfill first before any other code runs). Alternatively, if you don't want to include all of the polyfill dependencies, you can use the babel-regenerator-runtime or the babel-plugin-transform-runtime.
I started getting this error after converting my project into a typescript project. From what I understand, the problem stems from async/await not being recognized.
For me the error was fixed by adding two things to my setup:
As mentioned above many times, I needed to add babel-polyfill into my webpack entry array:
...
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './index.js'],
...
I needed to update my .babelrc to allow the complilation of async/await into generators:
{
"presets": ["es2015"],
"plugins": ["transform-async-to-generator"]
}
DevDependencies:
I had to install a few things into my devDependencies in my package.json file as well. Namely, I was missing the babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator, babel-polyfill and the babel-preset-es2015:
"devDependencies": {
"babel-loader": "^6.2.2",
"babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator": "^6.5.0",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.5.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.5.0",
"webpack": "^1.12.13"
}
Full Code Gist:
I got the code from a really helpful and concise GitHub gist you can find here.
I fixed this error by installing babel-polyfill
npm install babel-polyfill --save
then I imported it in my app entry point
import http from 'http';
import config from 'dotenv';
import 'babel-polyfill';
import { register } from 'babel-core';
import app from '../app';
for testing I included --require babel-polyfill in my test script
"test": "export NODE_ENV=test|| SET NODE_ENV=test&& mocha --compilers
js:babel-core/register --require babel-polyfill server/test/**.js --exit"
There are so many answers up there, I will post my answer for my reference.
I use webpack and react, here is my solution without the .babelrc file
I am working on this in Aug 2020
Install react and babel
npm i #babel/core babel-loader #babel/preset-env #babel/preset-react react react-dom #babel/plugin-transform-runtime --save-dev
Then in my webpack.config.js
// other stuff
module.exports = {
// other stuff
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.m?js$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['#babel/preset-env',"#babel/preset-react"],
plugins: ['#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties', '#babel/plugin-transform-runtime'],
//npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
}
}
},
],
},
};
I just don't know why I dont need to install the async package for the moment

SO just need to change :
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: ["babel-polyfill", "./app/js"]
};
After change webpack.config.js files Just add this line to top of your code .
import "babel-polyfill";
Now check everything is ok. Reference LINK
Also Thanks #BrunoLM for his nice Answer.
The targeted browsers I need to support already support async/await, but when writing mocha tests, without the proper setting I still got this error.
Most of the articles I googled are outdated, including the accepted answer and high voted answers here, i.e. you don't need polyfill, babel-regenerator-runtime, babel-plugin-transform-runtime. etc. if your target browser(s) already supports async/await (of course if not you need polyfill)
I don't want to use webpack either.
Tyler Long's answer is actually on the right track since he suggested babel-preset-env (but I omitted it first as he mentioned polifill at the beginning). I still got the ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined at the first then I realized it was because I didn't set the target. After setting the target for node I fix the regeneratorRuntime error：
"scripts": {
//"test": "mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register"
//https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/wiki/compilers-deprecation
"test": "mocha --require babel-core/register"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
"mocha": "^5.2.0"
},
//better to set it .bablerc, I list it here for brevity and it works too.
"babel": {
"presets": [
["env",{
"targets": {
"node": "current"
"chrome": 66,
"firefox": 60,
},
"debug":true
}]
]
}
My working babel 7 boilerplate for react with regenerator runtime:
.babelrc
{
"presets": [
[
"#babel/preset-env",
{
"targets": {
"node": true,
},
},
],
"#babel/preset-react",
],
"plugins": [
"#babel/plugin-syntax-class-properties",
"#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"
]
}
package.json
...
"devDependencies": {
"#babel/core": "^7.0.0-0",
"#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties": "^7.4.4",
"#babel/plugin-syntax-class-properties": "^7.2.0",
"#babel/polyfill": "^7.4.4",
"#babel/preset-env": "^7.4.5",
"#babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
"babel-eslint": "^10.0.1",
...
main.js
import "#babel/polyfill";
....
Easiest way to fix this 'regeneratorRuntime not defined issue' in your console:
You don't have to install any unnecessary plugins. Just add:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/regenerator-runtime#0.13.1/runtime.js"></script>
inside of the body in your index.html.
Now regeneratorRuntime should be defined once you run babel and now your async/await functions should be compiled successfully into ES2015
Just install regenerator-runtime
with below command
npm i regenerator-runtime
add below line in startup file before you require server file
require("regenerator-runtime/runtime");
So far this has been working for me
I get this error using gulp with rollup when I tried to use ES6 generators:
gulp.task('scripts', () => {
return rollup({
entry: './app/scripts/main.js',
format: "iife",
sourceMap: true,
plugins: [babel({
exclude: 'node_modules/**',
"presets": [
[
"es2015-rollup"
]
],
"plugins": [
"external-helpers"
]
}),
includePaths({
include: {},
paths: ['./app/scripts'],
external: [],
extensions: ['.js']
})]
})
.pipe(source('app.js'))
.pipe(buffer())
.pipe(sourcemaps.init({
loadMaps: true
}))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('.tmp/scripts'))
.pipe(reload({ stream: true }));
});
I may case the solution was to include babel-polyfill as bower component:
bower install babel-polyfill --save
and add it as dependency in index.html:
<script src="/bower_components/babel-polyfill/browser-polyfill.js"></script>
1 - Install babel-plugin-transform-async-to-module-method,
babel-polyfil, bluebird , babel-preset-es2015, babel-core :
npm install babel-plugin-transform-async-to-module-method babel-polyfill bluebird babel-preset-es2015 babel-core
2 - Add in your js babel polyfill:
import 'babel-polyfill';
3 - Add plugin in your .babelrc:
{
"presets": ["es2015"],
"plugins": [
["transform-async-to-module-method", {
"module": "bluebird",
"method": "coroutine"
}]
]
}
Source : http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-async-to-module-method/
For people looking to use the babel-polyfill version 7^ do this with webpack ver3^.
Npm install the module npm i -D #babel/polyfill
Then in your webpack file in your entry point do this
entry: ['#babel/polyfill', path.resolve(APP_DIR, 'App.js')],
To babel7 users and ParcelJS >= 1.10.0 users

["#babel/plugin-transform-runtime", {
"corejs": 2
}]

I had a setup
with webpack using presets: ['es2015', 'stage-0']
and mocha that was running tests compiled by webpack.
To make my async/await in tests work all I had to do is use mocha with the --require babel-polyfill option:
mocha --require babel-polyfill
I am using a React and Django project and got it to work by using regenerator-runtime. You should do this because #babel/polyfill will increase your app's size more and is also deprecated. I also followed this tutorial's episode 1 & 2 to create my project's structure.

I try to learn how to use the debugger in VS Code for my Node.js application. I've found quite a few posts here and there about this, but I can't manage to have things work smoothly.
The end goal is to have a Typescript project with Babel 7 handling the compilation. And I want it to run on the latest version of Node.js (11.0.0).
I had average results so far, but I found a very good article on Medium which presents exactly what I want to do, except that it doesn't have typescript and it runs on Babel 6. But I figure that it is a great starting point to learn, so I try to reproduce it ... and I find that it doesn't behave the same way depending on the version of Node.js that I am running.
Here is what I do...
Running Node.js 8.12.0 and VS Code 1.28, I create a new project folder and I run the commands npm init -y and npm install --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-es2015.
I update my package.json as follows:
// package.json
"devDependencies": {
"babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1"
},
"babel": {
"presets": [
"es2015"
]
}
I then create 2 javascript files containing my code:
// src/app.js
import {add, multiply} from './math';
const num1 = 5, num2 = 10; // breakpoint on this line
console.log('Add: ', add(num1, num2));
console.log('Multiply: ', multiply(num1, num2));
// src/math.js
export function add(num1, num2) {
return num1 + num2; // breakpoint on this line
}
export function multiply(num1, num2) {
return num1 * num2; // breakpoint on this line
}
I update the package.json file with the following script
// package.json
"scripts": {
"compile": "babel src --out-dir .compiled --source-maps --watch"
},
When I run npm run compile, 4 files are created in the ./.compile/ folder, 2 of which are .map files.
Until now, everything goes fine. I then proceed with configuring the debugger in VS Code.
I create a .vscode/launch.json file and I edit it as follows:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch App.js",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/src/app.js",
"outFiles": [
"${workspaceRoot}/.compiled/**/*.js"
]
}
]
}
After placing 3 breakpoints (see my comments in the code above) in my code, I run the debugger which stops on all 3 breakpoints.
Happy with my results, I update Node.js to v9.11.2. I run the debugger again, and it performs the same. Good.
Then, I update Node.js v10.13.0. Without modifying anything in VS Code or in my code, I run the debugger again. This time, only the breakpoint in src/app.js is considered. The 2 breakpoints in src/math.js are ignored. Why?
When updating Node.js to v11.0.0, I make the same observation.
I figure that something has changed in the way Node.js performs the debugging when they updated from v9.x.x to v10.x.x, but I can't find what.
I believe that I just need to configure launch.json a bit differently, and I have tried many things without success. My current launch.json is the following:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch App.js",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/app.js",
"outFiles": [
"${workspaceFolder}/.compiled/**/*.js"
],
"sourceMaps": true,
"protocol": "inspector"
}
]
}
Any idea why it doesn't work with Node v10.x and above, and how I can fix this?
Many thanks!
I'm building a gulp script to process my ES2015 code, eventually with react, but it's simply not working. Uglify was throwing errors. (stream.js:74 throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.) Once I looked at the build it was obvious that the ES2015 code was not being converted.
Most solutions to this issue concern a missing preset. I made sure to include babel-preset-es2015. I have a .babelrc file that reads:
{
"presets": ["es2015", "react"]
}
My `gulpfile.babel.js won't run without it.
The file I'm trying to process is very simple:
// index.js
let bobby = "bobby"
console.log(bobby + ' Drink rum.')
When it's turned into an early JavaScript, the let should be replaced by a var. Maybe there is something wrong with my gulpfile.babel.js?
import gulp from 'gulp';
import gulpLoadPlugins from 'gulp-load-plugins';
import runSequence from 'run-sequence';
import babel from 'gulp-babel';
// load all gulp-* plugins in node_modules
const plugins = gulpLoadPlugins()
gulp.task('default', () => {
runSequence('build', 'copy:index')
})
gulp.task('build', () => {

"run-sequence": "^1.2.2",
"webpack": "^1.13.2"
}
UPDATE: So I went and created a separate task just for Babel and it works. When I added on uglify and rename it works, but when I add Webpack, it has problems. Obviously, Webpack isn't playing nice. Has anyone else had this kind of trouble working with Webpack and gulp?
Let me ask this, do you really need webpack to play nice with gulp-babel? We know webpack plays well with babel and generally from everything that I've read thus far, webpack does not play nice with gulp. There's so many weird things going on with any of the webpack plugins. The best resource I've found thus far for getting webpack and gulp to work together is here.
My advice thus far, forget trying to get webpack and gulp to play nice together. Instead, just have gulp run webpack when you have changes to your js. Here's my set up:
var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require('path');
module.exports = {
entry: './assets/js/index.js',
devtool: 'source-map',
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel-loader'
},
... [other webpack things] ...
In my package.json I set up a script using cross-env to run webpack
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"wp-dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack --progress --hide-modules",
"wp-build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --hide-modules"
},
now in gulp, here's my task as per the suggestion from phase2technology.com:
gulp.task('webpack', (cb) => {
exec('npm run wp-dev', function(err, stdout, stderr){
console.log(stdout);
console.log(stderr);
cb(err);
});
});
Really I think the key here is to just let webpack do the bundling and use gulp to run tasks.
I'm trying to use async/await from scratch on Babel 6, but I'm getting regeneratorRuntime is not defined.
.babelrc file
{
"presets": [ "es2015", "stage-0" ]
}
package.json file
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.0.20",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",
"babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.0.15"
}
.js file
"use strict";
async function foo() {
await bar();
}
function bar() { }
exports.default = foo;
Using it normally without the async/await works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
babel-polyfill (deprecated as of Babel 7.4) is required. You must also install it in order to get async/await working.
npm i -D babel-core babel-polyfill babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-stage-0 babel-loader
package.json
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.0.20",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.0.16",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",
"babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.0.15"
}
.babelrc
{
"presets": [ "es2015", "stage-0" ]
}
.js with async/await (sample code)
"use strict";
export default async function foo() {
var s = await bar();
console.log(s);
}
function bar() {
return "bar";
}
In the startup file
require("babel-core/register");
require("babel-polyfill");
If you are using webpack you need to put it as the first value of your entry array in your webpack configuration file (usually webpack.config.js), as per #Cemen comment:
module.exports = {
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './test.js'],
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx?$/, loader: 'babel', }
]
}
};
If you want to run tests with babel then use:
mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register --require babel-polyfill
Note
If you're using babel 7, the package has been renamed to #babel/plugin-transform-runtime.
Besides polyfill, I use babel-plugin-transform-runtime. The plugin is described as:
Externalize references to helpers and builtins, automatically polyfilling your code without polluting globals. What does this actually mean though? Basically, you can use built-ins such as Promise, Set, Symbol etc as well use all the Babel features that require a polyfill seamlessly, without global pollution, making it extremely suitable for libraries.
It also includes support for async/await along with other built-ins of ES 6.
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-runtime
In .babelrc, add the runtime plugin
{
"plugins": [
["transform-runtime", {
"regenerator": true
}]
]
}
Babel 7 Users
I had some trouble getting around this since most information was for prior babel versions. For Babel 7, install these two dependencies:
npm install --save #babel/runtime
npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
And, in .babelrc, add:
{
"presets": ["#babel/preset-env"],
"plugins": [
["#babel/transform-runtime"]
]
}
Update
It works if you set the target to Chrome. But it might not work for other targets, please refer to: https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env/issues/112
So this answer is NOT quite proper for the original question. I will keep it here as a reference to babel-preset-env.
A simple solution is to add import 'babel-polyfill' at the beginning of your code.
If you use webpack, a quick solution is to add babel-polyfill as shown below:
entry: {
index: ['babel-polyfill', './index.js']
}
I believe I've found the latest best practice.
Check this project: https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env
yarn add --dev babel-preset-env
Use the following as your babel configuration:
{
"presets": [
["env", {
"targets": {
"browsers": ["last 2 Chrome versions"]
}
}]
]
}
Then your app should be good to go in the last 2 versions of Chrome browser.
You can also set Node as the targets or fine-tune the browsers list according to https://github.com/ai/browserslist
Tell me what, don't tell me how.
I really like babel-preset-env's philosophy: tell me which environment you want to support, do NOT tell me how to support them. It's the beauty of declarative programming.
I've tested async await and they DO work. I don't know how they work and I really don't want to know. I want to spend my time on my own code and my business logic instead. Thanks to babel-preset-env, it liberates me from the Babel configuration hell.
Update: The Babel 7 post also has a more in-depth answer.
Babel 7.4.0 or later (core-js 2 / 3)
As of Babel 7.4.0, #babel/polyfill is deprecated.
In general, there are two ways to install polyfills/regenerator: via global namespace (Option 1) or as ponyfill (Option 2, without global pollution).
Option 1: #babel/preset-env
presets: [
["#babel/preset-env", {
"useBuiltIns": "usage",
"corejs": 3, // or 2,
"targets": {
"firefox": "64", // or whatever target to choose .
},
}]
]
will automatically use regenerator-runtime and core-js according to your target. No need to import anything manually. Don't forget to install runtime dependencies:
npm i --save regenerator-runtime core-js
Alternatively, set useBuiltIns: "entry" and import it manually:
import "regenerator-runtime/runtime";
import "core-js/stable"; // if polyfills are also needed
Option 2: #babel/transform-runtime with #babel/runtime
This alternative has no global scope pollution and is suitable for libraries.
{
"plugins": [
[
"#babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
{
"regenerator": true,
"corejs": 3 // or 2; if polyfills needed
...
}
]
]
}
Install it:
npm i -D #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
npm i #babel/runtime
If corejs polyfill is used, you replace #babel/runtime with #babel/runtime-corejs2 (for "corejs": 2) or #babel/runtime-corejs3 (for "corejs": 3).
Alternatively, if you don't need all the modules babel-polyfill provides, you can just specify babel-regenerator-runtime in your webpack config:
module.exports = {
entry: ['babel-regenerator-runtime', './test.js'],
// ...
};
When using webpack-dev-server with HMR, doing this reduced the number of files it has to compile on every build by quite a lot. This module is installed as part of babel-polyfill so if you already have that you're fine, otherwise you can install it separately with npm i -D babel-regenerator-runtime.
My simple solution:
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-runtime
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator
.babelrc
{
"presets": [
["latest", {
"es2015": {
"loose": true
}
}],
"react",
"stage-0"
],
"plugins": [
"transform-runtime",
"transform-async-to-generator"
]
}
This error is caused when async/await functions are used without the proper Babel plugins. As of March 2020, the following should be all you need to do. (#babel/polyfill and a lot of the accepted solutions have been deprecated in Babel. Read more in the Babel docs.)
In the command line, type:
npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
In your babel.config.js file, add this plugin #babel/plugin-transform-runtime. Note: The below example includes the other presets and plugins I have for a small React/Node/Express project I worked on recently:
module.exports = {
presets: ['#babel/preset-react', '#babel/preset-env'],
plugins: ['#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties',
'#babel/plugin-transform-runtime'],
};
babel-regenerator-runtime is now deprecated, instead one should use regenerator-runtime.
To use the runtime generator with webpack and babel v7:
install regenerator-runtime:
npm i -D regenerator-runtime
And then add within webpack configuration :
entry: [
'regenerator-runtime/runtime',
YOUR_APP_ENTRY
]
Update your .babelrc file according to the following examples, it will work.
If you are using #babel/preset-env package
{
"presets": [
[
"#babel/preset-env", {
"targets": {
"node": "current"
}
}
]
]
}
or if you are using babel-preset-env package
{
"presets": [
[
"env", {
"targets": {
"node": "current"
}
}
]
]
}
As of Oct 2019 this worked for me:
Add this to the preset.
"presets": [
"#babel/preset-env"
]
Then install regenerator-runtime using npm.
npm i regenerator-runtime
And then in your main file use: (this import is used only once)
import "regenerator-runtime/runtime";
This is will enable you to use async awaits in your file and remove the regenerator error
Be careful of hoisted functions
I had both my 'polyfill import' and my 'async function' in the same file, however I was using the function syntax that hoists it above the polyfill which would give me the ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined error.
Change this code
import "babel-polyfill"
async function myFunc(){ }
to this
import "babel-polyfill"
var myFunc = async function(){}
to prevent it being hoisted above the polyfill import.
If using babel-preset-stage-2 then just have to start the script with --require babel-polyfill.
In my case this error was thrown by Mocha tests.
Following fixed the issue
mocha \"server/tests/**/*.test.js\" --compilers js:babel-register --require babel-polyfill
I had this problem in Chrome. Similar to RienNeVaPlu͢s’s answer, this solved it for me:
npm install --save-dev regenerator-runtime
Then in my code:
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime';
Happy to avoid the extra 200 kB from babel-polyfill.
I used tip from https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/9849#issuecomment-592668815 and added targets: { esmodules: true,} to my babel.config.js.
module.exports = {
presets: [
[
'#babel/preset-env',
{
targets: {
esmodules: true,
},
},
],
],
}
You're getting an error because async/await use generators, which are an ES2016 feature, not ES2015. One way to fix this is to install the babel preset for ES2016 (npm install --save babel-preset-es2016) and compile to ES2016 instead of ES2015:
"presets": [
"es2016",
// etc...
]
As the other answers mention, you can also use polyfills (though make sure you load the polyfill first before any other code runs). Alternatively, if you don't want to include all of the polyfill dependencies, you can use the babel-regenerator-runtime or the babel-plugin-transform-runtime.
I started getting this error after converting my project into a typescript project. From what I understand, the problem stems from async/await not being recognized.
For me the error was fixed by adding two things to my setup:
As mentioned above many times, I needed to add babel-polyfill into my webpack entry array:
...
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './index.js'],
...
I needed to update my .babelrc to allow the complilation of async/await into generators:
{
"presets": ["es2015"],
"plugins": ["transform-async-to-generator"]
}
DevDependencies:
I had to install a few things into my devDependencies in my package.json file as well. Namely, I was missing the babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator, babel-polyfill and the babel-preset-es2015:
"devDependencies": {
"babel-loader": "^6.2.2",
"babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator": "^6.5.0",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.5.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.5.0",
"webpack": "^1.12.13"
}
Full Code Gist:
I got the code from a really helpful and concise GitHub gist you can find here.
I fixed this error by installing babel-polyfill
npm install babel-polyfill --save
then I imported it in my app entry point
import http from 'http';
import config from 'dotenv';
import 'babel-polyfill';
import { register } from 'babel-core';
import app from '../app';
for testing I included --require babel-polyfill in my test script
"test": "export NODE_ENV=test|| SET NODE_ENV=test&& mocha --compilers
js:babel-core/register --require babel-polyfill server/test/**.js --exit"
There are so many answers up there, I will post my answer for my reference.
I use webpack and react, here is my solution without the .babelrc file
I am working on this in Aug 2020
Install react and babel
npm i #babel/core babel-loader #babel/preset-env #babel/preset-react react react-dom #babel/plugin-transform-runtime --save-dev
Then in my webpack.config.js
// other stuff
module.exports = {
// other stuff
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.m?js$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['#babel/preset-env',"#babel/preset-react"],
plugins: ['#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties', '#babel/plugin-transform-runtime'],
//npm install --save-dev #babel/plugin-transform-runtime
}
}
},
],
},
};
I just don't know why I dont need to install the async package for the moment

SO just need to change :
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {

};
After change webpack.config.js files Just add this line to top of your code .
import "babel-polyfill";
Now check everything is ok. Reference LINK
Also Thanks #BrunoLM for his nice Answer.
The targeted browsers I need to support already support async/await, but when writing mocha tests, without the proper setting I still got this error.
Most of the articles I googled are outdated, including the accepted answer and high voted answers here, i.e. you don't need polyfill, babel-regenerator-runtime, babel-plugin-transform-runtime. etc. if your target browser(s) already supports async/await (of course if not you need polyfill)
I don't want to use webpack either.
Tyler Long's answer is actually on the right track since he suggested babel-preset-env (but I omitted it first as he mentioned polifill at the beginning). I still got the ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined at the first then I realized it was because I didn't set the target. After setting the target for node I fix the regeneratorRuntime error：
"scripts": {
//"test": "mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register"
//https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/wiki/compilers-deprecation
"test": "mocha --require babel-core/register"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
"mocha": "^5.2.0"
},
//better to set it .bablerc, I list it here for brevity and it works too.
"babel": {
"presets": [
["env",{
"targets": {
"node": "current"
"chrome": 66,
"firefox": 60,
},
"debug":true
}]
]
}
My working babel 7 boilerplate for react with regenerator runtime:
.babelrc
{
"presets": [
[
"#babel/preset-env",
{
"targets": {
"node": true,
},
},
],
"#babel/preset-react",
],
"plugins": [
"#babel/plugin-syntax-class-properties",
"#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"
]
}
package.json
...
"devDependencies": {
"#babel/core": "^7.0.0-0",
"#babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties": "^7.4.4",
"#babel/plugin-syntax-class-properties": "^7.2.0",
"#babel/polyfill": "^7.4.4",
"#babel/preset-env": "^7.4.5",
"#babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
"babel-eslint": "^10.0.1",
...
main.js
import "#babel/polyfill";
....
Easiest way to fix this 'regeneratorRuntime not defined issue' in your console:
You don't have to install any unnecessary plugins. Just add:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/regenerator-runtime#0.13.1/runtime.js"></script>
inside of the body in your index.html.
Now regeneratorRuntime should be defined once you run babel and now your async/await functions should be compiled successfully into ES2015
Just install regenerator-runtime
with below command
npm i regenerator-runtime
add below line in startup file before you require server file
require("regenerator-runtime/runtime");
So far this has been working for me
I get this error using gulp with rollup when I tried to use ES6 generators:
gulp.task('scripts', () => {
return rollup({
entry: './app/scripts/main.js',
format: "iife",
sourceMap: true,
plugins: [babel({
exclude: 'node_modules/**',
"presets": [
[
"es2015-rollup"
]
],
"plugins": [
"external-helpers"
]
}),
includePaths({
include: {},
paths: ['./app/scripts'],
external: [],
extensions: ['.js']
})]
})
.pipe(source('app.js'))
.pipe(buffer())
.pipe(sourcemaps.init({
loadMaps: true
}))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('.tmp/scripts'))
.pipe(reload({ stream: true }));
});
I may case the solution was to include babel-polyfill as bower component:
bower install babel-polyfill --save
and add it as dependency in index.html:
<script src="/bower_components/babel-polyfill/browser-polyfill.js"></script>
1 - Install babel-plugin-transform-async-to-module-method,
babel-polyfil, bluebird , babel-preset-es2015, babel-core :
npm install babel-plugin-transform-async-to-module-method babel-polyfill bluebird babel-preset-es2015 babel-core
2 - Add in your js babel polyfill:
import 'babel-polyfill';
3 - Add plugin in your .babelrc:
{
"presets": ["es2015"],
"plugins": [
["transform-async-to-module-method", {
"module": "bluebird",
"method": "coroutine"
}]
]
}
Source : http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-async-to-module-method/
For people looking to use the babel-polyfill version 7^ do this with webpack ver3^.
Npm install the module npm i -D #babel/polyfill
Then in your webpack file in your entry point do this
entry: ['#babel/polyfill', path.resolve(APP_DIR, 'App.js')],
To babel7 users and ParcelJS >= 1.10.0 users

I had a setup
with webpack using presets: ['es2015', 'stage-0']
and mocha that was running tests compiled by webpack.
To make my async/await in tests work all I had to do is use mocha with the --require babel-polyfill option:
mocha --require babel-polyfill
I am using a React and Django project and got it to work by using regenerator-runtime. You should do this because #babel/polyfill will increase your app's size more and is also deprecated. I also followed this tutorial's episode 1 & 2 to create my project's structure.
