# babel-plugin-transform-es2015-arrow-functions
> Compile ES2015 arrow functions to ES5
## Example
**In**
```javascript
var a = () => {};
var a = (b) => b;
const double = [1,2,3].map((num) => num * 2);
console.log(double); // [2,4,6]
var bob = {
_name: "Bob",
_friends: ["Sally", "Tom"],
printFriends() {
this._friends.forEach(f =>
console.log(this._name + " knows " + f));
}
};
console.log(bob.printFriends());
```
**Out**
```javascript
var a = function a() {};
var a = function a(b) {
return b;
};
var double = [1, 2, 3].map(function (num) {
return num * 2;
});
console.log(double); // [2,4,6]
var bob = {
_name: "Bob",
_friends: ["Sally", "Tom"],
printFriends: function printFriends() {
var _this = this;
this._friends.forEach(function (f) {
return console.log(_this._name + " knows " + f);
});
}
};
console.log(bob.printFriends());
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es2015-arrow-functions
```
## Usage
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
**.babelrc**
Without options:
```json
{
"plugins": ["transform-es2015-arrow-functions"]
}
```
With options:
```json
{
"plugins": [
["transform-es2015-arrow-functions", { "spec": true }]
]
}
```
### Via CLI
```sh
babel --plugins transform-es2015-arrow-functions script.js
```
### Via Node API
```javascript
require("babel-core").transform("code", {
plugins: ["transform-es2015-arrow-functions"]
});
```
## Options
### `spec`
`boolean`, defaults to `false`.
This option wraps the generated function in `.bind(this)` and keeps uses of `this` inside the function as-is, instead of using a renamed `this`. It also adds a runtime check to ensure the functions are not instantiated.
