React Native uses this Babel preset by default when transforming your app's source code. You only need to use this preset directly if you provide a custom `babel.config.js` file in your project's root directory. React Native does not apply its default Babel configuration in that case, so you must specify all the plugins necessary to transform your code — start from this preset to get the defaults and add more plugins on top. ## Usage ### Installation Install `@react-native/babel-preset` in your app: with `npm`: ```sh npm i @react-native/babel-preset --save-dev ``` or with `yarn`: ```sh yarn add -D @react-native/babel-preset ``` ### Configuring Babel Then, create a file called `babel.config.js` in your project's root directory. The existence of this `babel.config.js` file tells React Native to use your custom Babel configuration instead of its own. Then load this preset: ```json { "presets": ["module:@react-native/babel-preset"] } ``` You can further customize your Babel configuration by specifying plugins and other options. See [Babel's `babel.config.js` documentation](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/config-files/) to learn more. --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/@react-native/babel-preset · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
