Babel Support

Babel has a very large and quickly growing community, as we grow we want to ensure that people have all the resources they need to be successful. So we provide a number of different channels for getting support.

Remember that across all of these communities we enforce a Code of Conduct. If you break the Code of Conduct, action will be taken. So please read it and be conscious of it when interacting with others.

We are also looking to grow a self-supporting community, for people who stick around and support others. If you find someone asking a question you know the answer to, take a few minutes and help them out. Try your best to be kind and understanding when doing so.

Babel Forum

Discourse has provided us with a hosted version of their forum software for free (and we love them for it!). If forums are your thing please stop by discuss.babeljs.io.

Babel Chat

Everyone loves Slack. If you’re looking for immediate support from the community then come chat with us at slack.babeljs.io.

Babel Issues

Babel uses the issue tracker provided by Github.

You can see all the open and closed issues on Github.

If you want to open a new issue:

• Search for an existing issue
• Create a new bug report or request a new feature

Creating an awesome Babel bug report

Babel issues can sometimes be very difficult to debug remotely, so we need all the help we can get. Spending a few more minutes crafting a really nice bug report can help get your problem solved significantly faster.

First, try isolating your problem. It’s extremely unlikely that every part of your setup is contributing to the problem. If your problem is a piece of input code, try deleting as much code as possible that still causes an issue.
