Commit 36033bd
Use babel runtime instead of relying on global babelHelpers and regenerator (facebook#198)
Summary:
**Summary**
The RN transformer currently relies on the enviroment providing babelHelpers and regeneratorRuntime as globals by using 'babel-external-helpers'. This wasn't really a problem before since helpers were stable and we could maintain our copy easily but it seems like there are more now with babel 7 and it makes sense to include only those used by the app.
This is exactly what babel/transform-runtime does. It will alias all helpers and calls to regeneratorRuntime to files in the babel/runtime package.
This will solve issues like this facebook#20150 caused by missing babelHelpers. This solution also avoids bloating babelHelpers to fix OSS issues like the one linked before.
**Test plan**
- Updated tests so they all pass.
- Tested that it actually works by applying the changes locally in an RN app.
- Added a test for async functions, to make sure regenerator is aliased properly and doesn't depend on the global.
- Made sure require-test.js still fails if the require implementation contains babel helpers (by adding an empty class in the file).
