A babel preset for Next Component.

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against @alifd/babel-preset-next@2.0.0-beta.

@alifd/babel-preset-next ships CommonJS only. require("@alifd/babel-preset-next") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "@alifd/babel-preset-next" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.

## What to do

1. require("@alifd/babel-preset-next") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import babelPresetNext from "@alifd/babel-preset-next"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: no types are available for @alifd/babel-preset-next; declare the module yourself if you need them.
