The babel-plugin-transform-es2015-object-super plugin for Babel transforms ES2015's super keyword within object methods to be compatible with older JavaScript environments. This enables correct inheritance and method calls when extending objects in ES5. Specifically, it handles accessing properties and calling methods on the parent class, ensuring proper context and functionality during runtime in non-ES2015 compliant JavaScript engines.
The npm package babel-plugin-transform-es2015-object-super saw frequent releases from October 2015 to March 2016, with a peak of 5 versions in November 2015. Releases became sporadic afterwards, with only a few releases in 2016 and 2017. Since April 2017, there have been no new versions published, indicating the package is likely no longer actively maintained.
Babel-plugin-transform-es2015-object-super downloads saw fluctuations but remained generally strong. A peak occurred in November 2024. Downloads stabilized around 5-6 million monthly in early 2025, then surged in June/July before decreasing in August and September, likely due to September's incomplete data.
