## Adding a new plugin or polyfill to support (when approved in the next ECMAScript version)
### Update [`plugin-features.js`](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-compat-data/scripts/data/plugin-features.js)
*Example:*
If you were going to add `**` which is in ES2016:
Find the relevant entries on [compat-table](https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es2016plus/#test-exponentiation_(**)_operator):
`exponentiation (**) operator`
Find the corresponding babel plugin:
`@babel/plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator`
And add them in this structure:
```js
// es2016
"@babel/plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator": {
features: [
"exponentiation (**) operator",
],
},
```
### Update data for `core-js@2` polyfilling
*Example:*
In case you want to add `Object.values` which is in ES2017:
Find the relevant feature and subfeature on [compat-table](https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es2016plus/#test-Object_static_methods_Object.values)
and split it with `/`:
`Object static methods / Object.values`
Find the corresponding module on [`core-js@2`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/tree/v2/modules):
`es7.object.values.js`
Find required ES version in [`corejs2-built-in-features.js`](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-preset-env/data/corejs2-built-in-features.js) and add the new feature:
```js
const es = {
//...
"es7.object.values": "Object static methods / Object.values"
}
```
If you want to transform a new built-in by `useBuiltIns: 'usage'`, add mapping to related `core-js` modules to [this file](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-preset-env/polyfills/corejs2/built-in-definitions.js).
### Update data for `core-js@3` polyfilling
Just update the version of [`core-js-compat`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/tree/main/packages/core-js-compat) in dependencies.
If you want to transform a new built-in by `useBuiltIns: 'usage'`, add mapping to related [`core-js`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/tree/main/packages/core-js/modules) modules to [this file](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-preset-env/polyfills/corejs3/built-in-definitions.js).
If you want to mark a new proposal as shipped, add it to [this list](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-preset-env/polyfills/corejs3/shipped-proposals.js).
### Update [`plugins.json`](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-preset-env/data/plugins.json)
Until `compat-table` is a standalone npm module for data we are using the git commit in `packages/babel-compat-data/scripts/download-compat-table.sh`
`COMPAT_TABLE_COMMIT=[latest-commit-hash]`,
So we update and then run `npm run build-data`. If there are no changes, then `plugins.json` will be the same.
## Tests
### Running tests
See general [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-lintingtests).
### Writing tests
#### General
All the tests for `@babel/preset-env` exist in the `test/fixtures` folder. The
test setup and conventions are exactly the same as testing a Babel plugin, so
please read our [documentation on writing tests](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#babel-plugin-x).
#### Testing the `debug` option
Testing debug output to `stdout` is similar. Under the `test/debug-fixtures`,
create a folder with a descriptive name of your test, and add the following:
* Add a `options.json` file (just as the other tests, this is essentially a
`.babelrc`) with the desired test configuration (required)
* Add a `stdout.txt` file with the expected debug output. For added
convenience, if there is no `stdout.txt` present, the test runner will
generate one for you.
