Summary
This adds support for projects using
metro-babel-register
with Babel 7's babel.config.js files. Themetro-babel-register
package is designed to apply a static, hardcoded list of Babel plugins. It intentionally ignores .babelrc files by settingbabelrc: false
.Babel 7 added a new configuration file called babel.config.js, with similar but slightly different loading semantics. To disable babel.config.js lookup, there is a new option called
configFile
instead ofbabelrc
. See https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/config-files#project-wide-configuration.Fixes facebook/react-native#21052
Test plan
In a React Native project with babel.config.js and an error about
regeneratorRuntime
missing when starting the CLI, said error goes away with thismetro-babel-register
patch.
