# babel-plugin-transform-es2015-computed-properties > Compile ES2015 computed properties to ES5 ## Installation ```sh npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es2015-computed-properties ``` ## Usage ### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended) **.babelrc** ```js // without options { "plugins": ["transform-es2015-computed-properties"] } // with options { "plugins": [ ["transform-es2015-computed-properties", { "loose": true }] ] } ``` ### Via CLI ```sh babel --plugins transform-es2015-computed-properties script.js ``` ### Via Node API ```javascript require("babel-core").transform("code", { plugins: ["transform-es2015-computed-properties"] }); ``` ## Options * `loose` - Just like method assignment in classes, in loose mode, computed property names use simple assignments instead of being defined. This is unlikely to be an issue in production code.
