Enable the parsing of class properties (fields) in JavaScript. @babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties transforms class properties, allowing you to define properties directly within a class body without needing a constructor. This offers a more concise and readable syntax for declaring instance variables and static fields within classes, improving code clarity and maintainability. It's essential for using modern JavaScript features and leveraging the benefits of class-based programming effectively.
