Babel plugin that replaces Object.assign() with the extends helper.

Useful to reduce the need for additional polyfills or libraries when you want something that extends objects in browsers without native support.

Thanks to @sebmck for the implementation.

Instead of using _.extend(obj1, obj2...) or xtend(obj1, obj2...) just use Object.assign in your code and include this plugin for Babel.

Install:

$ npm install babel babel-plugin-object-assign

Use:

$ babel --plugins object-assign script.js

or:

require("babel").transform("code", { plugins: ["object-assign"] });
