The @babel/plugin-transform-computed-properties Babel plugin transforms computed properties (e.g., obj[foo]) into equivalent ES5-compatible code. This plugin ensures wider browser compatibility by converting dynamic property access using bracket notation into more common property access methods understood by older JavaScript engines. It's essential for projects targeting legacy environments, enabling modern JavaScript features while maintaining broader support. Using this plugin helps polyfill features and transpiles code for optimal compatibility.
