## [Options](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#pluginpresets-options) ## Options
### `targets`: `{ [string]: number }` For more information on setting options for a preset, refer to the [plugin/preset options](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#plugin-preset-options) documentation.
Defaults to `{}`. ### `targets`
> Takes an object of environment versions to support. `{ [string]: number }`, defaults to `{}`.
> Each target environment takes a number (you can specify a decimal like `node: 6.5`)
Example environments: "chrome, opera, edge, firefox, safari, ie, ios, android, node, electron". Takes an object of environment versions to support.
The data for this is currently at: [/data/plugins.json](/data/plugins.json) and being generated by [/scripts/build-data.js](/scripts/build-data.js) using https://kangax.github.io/compat-table. Each target environment takes a number (you can also specify a minor versions like `node: 6.5`)
`node`: `number | "current" | true` Example environments: `chrome`, `opera`, `edge`, `firefox`, `safari`, `ie`, `ios`, `android`, `node`, `electron`.
If you want to compile against the current node version, you can specify `"node": true` or `"node": "current"` which would be the same as `node": parseFloat(process.versions.node)` The [data](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env/blob/master/data/plugins.json) for this is generated by running the [build-data script](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env/blob/master/scripts/build-data.js) which pulls in data from [compat-table](https://kangax.github.io/compat-table).
### `browsers`: `Array<string> | string` ### `targets.node`
> A query to select browsers (ex: last 2 versions, > 5%) using [browserslist](https://github.com/ai/browserslist). `number | "current" | true`
> Note, browsers' results are overridden by explicit items from `targets`. If you want to compile against the current node version, you can specify `"node": true` or `"node": "current"` which would be the same as `"node": parseFloat(process.versions.node)`
### `loose`: `boolean` ### `targets.browsers`
Defaults to `false`. `Array<string> | string`
A query to select browsers (ex: last 2 versions, > 5%) using [browserslist](https://github.com/ai/browserslist).
Note, browsers' results are overridden by explicit items from `targets`.
### `loose`
`boolean`, defaults to `false`.
Enable "loose" transformations for any plugins in this preset that allow them. Enable "loose" transformations for any plugins in this preset that allow them.
### `modules`: `"amd" | "umd" | "systemjs" | "commonjs" | false` ### `modules`
`"amd" | "umd" | "systemjs" | "commonjs" | false`, defaults to `"commonjs"`.
Defaults to `"commonjs"`.
Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type. Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type.
Can be `false` to not transform modules.
Setting this to `false` will not transform modules.
### `debug:` `boolean` ### `debug`
Defaults to `false` `boolean`, defaults to `false`.
`console.log` out the targets and plugins being used as well as the version specified in `/data/plugins.json`.
Outputs the targets/plugins used and the version specified in [plugin data version](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env/blob/master/data/plugins.json) to `console.log`.
### `include`: `Array<string>` ### `include`
> `whitelist` is deprecated and will be removed in the next major in favor of this. `Array<string>`, defaults to `[]`.
