Do I really need Babel or other transpilers to use ES6 with React?

Do I really need Babel or other transpilers to use ES6 in React?

I was looking at the chart https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

Seems like my current browser Chrome (latest stable version) supports almost all the ES6 features...

If I can use ES6 without Babel, how I should do it?

Solution

  • Without babel you get the compatibility of the chart you linked to. But keep in mind if you want to use JSX you'll want to use babel to transpile that.
