Its necessary if your wanting to use certain features - Im having to add it to include the async await features
how about babel 7 ???
every link I checked using the previous version of babel for doing this such thing
We need to use @babel/preset-env which transforms syntax. We need to use @babel/transform-runtime to avoid duplicate code, and config core-js: 3 to polyfill.
babel-plugin-transform-runtime automatically injects Regenerator where generators or async/await are used.
So, installing babel/runtime and @babel/plugin-transform-runtime need to be installed

Wondering if polyfill is necessary also.
