@babel/plugin-transform-regenerator transforms async/await functions into code compatible with older JavaScript environments that don't natively support them. It leverages Regenerator, providing a seamless translation of modern asynchronous syntax into generator functions. This enables developers to write cleaner, more readable asynchronous code using async/await while maintaining compatibility across a wider range of browsers and Node.js versions. It is essential for projects aiming for broad browser support.
