babel 7 support

[jakewhelan]

I'm currently modernising an angular 1.5 app

I would like to use babel 7 but this plugin has not been updated, are there any plans for this update?

I use this plugin together with babel 7 without any problems.

I created a PR #43. I am not very sure of my changes since I don't follow closely the evolution of Babel but tests are passing 🙏

Thanks for arousing my interest @StabbarN, I've since discovered this indeed works with Babel 7 - you just need to require it rather than using the string literal reference as instructed in the README.

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    '@babel/preset-env'
  ],
  plugins: [
    require('babel-plugin-angularjs-annotate'),
    'proposal-optional-chaining'
  ]
}

Though now that I think about it, this should also work just fine:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    '@babel/preset-env'
  ],
  plugins: [
    'angularjs-annotate',
    'proposal-optional-chaining'
  ]
}

I think all the package naming changes just threw me off.
