This is the fork of original esbuild-plugin-babel. The main difference is that this fork supports ES modules config.

Babel plugin for esbuild.

First, check if esbuild supports the transform you need (it's faster).
If not, you can add the Babel plugin you need with this plugin.

npm install esbuild-plugin-babel-next -D

esbuild.config.js

import esbuild from 'esbuild';
import babel from 'esbuild-plugin-babel-next';

esbuild
    .build({
        entryPoints: ['index.js'],
        bundle: true,
        outfile: 'main.js',
        plugins: [babel()],
        // target: ['es5'] // if you target es5 with babel, add this option
    })
    .catch(() => process.exit(1));

babel({
    filter: /.*/,

    config: {} // babel config here or in babel.config.json
});
