Babel 6 regeneratorRuntime is not defined

Question

I'm trying to use async, await from scratch on Babel 6, but I'm getting regeneratorRuntime is not defined.

.babelrc file

{
    "presets": [ "es2015", "stage-0" ]
}

package.json file

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.0.20",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",
    "babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.0.15"
}

.js file

"use strict";
async function foo() {
  await bar();
}
function bar() { }
exports.default = foo;

Using it normally without the async/await works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

New Answer Why you follow my answer ?

Ans: Because I am going to give you a answer with latest Update version npm project .

04/14/2017

"name": "es6",
 "version": "1.0.0",
   "babel-core": "^6.24.1",
    "babel-loader": "^6.4.1",
    "babel-polyfill": "^6.23.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",
    "webpack": "^2.3.3",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^2.4.2"

If your Use this version or more UP version of Npm and all other ... SO just need to change :

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  entry: ["babel-polyfill", "./app/js"]
};

After change webpack.config.js files Just add this line to top of your code .

import "babel-polyfill";

Now check everything is ok. Reference LINK

Answer 2

I started getting this error after converting my project into a typescript project. From what I understand, the problem stems from async/await not being recognized.

For me the error was fixed by adding two things to my setup:

1. As mentioned above many times, I needed to add babel-polyfill into my webpack entry array:

   ...
   
   entry: ['babel-polyfill', './index.js'],
   
   ...

2. I needed to update my .babelrc to allow the complilation of async/await into generators:

   {
     "presets": ["es2015"],
     "plugins": ["transform-async-to-generator"]
   }

DevDependencies:

I had to install a few things into my devDependencies in my package.json file as well. Namely, I was missing the babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator, babel-polyfill and the babel-preset-es2015:

 "devDependencies": {
    "babel-loader": "^6.2.2",
    "babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator": "^6.5.0",
    "babel-polyfill": "^6.5.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.5.0",
    "webpack": "^1.12.13"
 }
