The @babel/plugin-transform-function-name Babel plugin automatically infers and sets the name property of anonymous functions. This enhances debugging and readability by providing function names in stack traces and error messages. It transforms anonymous functions like function() {} into named functions: function name() {}, using context clues to determine the appropriate name. Activating this plugin simplifies code maintainability and debugging workflows, particularly in complex projects.
