# babel-plugin-transform-function-sent
> Compile the `function.sent` meta property, used inside generator functions, to valid ES2015 code.
## Example
```js
function* generator() {
console.log("Sent", function.sent);
console.log("Yield", yield);
}
const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 2"
```
Is compiled roughly to
```js
let generator = _skipFirstGeneratorNext(function* () {
const _functionSent = yield;
console.log("Sent", _functionSent);
console.log("Yield", yield);
});
const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 1"
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-function-sent
```
## Usage
### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended)
**.babelrc**
